PPPR Made With Love Blog Hop

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!
 
Welcome to the PPPR Made With Love Blog Hop!
 
 

If you came here from Gloria's blog, you are in the right place.  If you just stumbled upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, please visit the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog.
 
Today we are sharing "Love" themed projects made with PPPR files.
For my project, I used the "Small Gift Box with Window" cutting file.
 


I cute the box out of pink cardstock, and then I cut a separate piece of patterned cardstock for the top.  I added some plastic for the "window", and then tied it with some pink/white twine and a button.
 
This cute little box is the perfect size to fit a cookie, or even some candy treats.
 
 
The blog candy for this hop is a $15 GC to the PPPR store.
For a chance to win, you must be a follower of each blog and leave a comment on each blog. For extra chances, you can also "LIKE" Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons on Facebook and/or sign up for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Newsletter
