Hello everyone!
Today it's my turn to do the tutorial for
In the spirit of Valentine's Day I've
decided to make this little explosion box -
complete tutorial can be found HERE
It's pretty easy and so cute.
Quite the surprise when you remove the cover
You know that big things come in small packages right?
Well, you can put all kinds of things in this
little baby.  I put some DP on the inside
to jazz it up a bit and put some kisses in it.
Perfect Valentine gift for a teacher.
What teacher wouldn't love this??
So I do hope you will give it a try.
My box is made from a 9x9 inch square

"Digi set of the month"?  Well....they do.  You get 20 digital stamps for $20!!  How sweet of a deal is that?
This month there are lots of Valentine themed stamps.  Like the one above.  He just makes me smile.
I got the little roses at Michaels and my Mom had given me these little "bling picks" a while back.  It's a "pick" with little gems on it.  I cut it down and then
kind of arranged the flowers and bent the wire in and around the flowers.  I'm really happy with the way it turned out.  Remember: starting Saturday Bugaboo is having their BIG Birthday Blog Hop and let me tell you... the prizes up for grabs are AMAZING!!!!


Here is the January Set of the Month which you can find HERE
