Love Is In The Air

Here I am again, back from my holiday away, and what a holiday it was.  I got to visit my Sister-In-Law and her family, my bestie from my old home town, my family and my lovely stamping buddies Steph and Tess.  Of all of it my favourite part was attending my 'baby' brother's wedding on 28th January, even though the day was wet their smiles never faded and it was a beautiful service and a fun reception.  Even my little niece was perfect on the day, looking and behaving like an angel. I was so busy I didn't get chance to miss creating but now I am home with a few days off until I start back at work I have some time to put ink to paper and this project is my DT entry for the Paper Lovin' Gals.  I have also entered this project in the Just Us GirlsHand Stamped Sentiments and Color Throwdown challenges.

If  you have never played along with Paper Lovin' Gals before the rules are pretty simple, each week there is an inspirational photo and you use this as the basis of your creation for the week.  In this week's picture it was the hearts that inspired me - I have to say if we had the lovely new Heart dies that the US have I would have made a heart mobile using different sized hearts out of brown packing paper and DSP. But as that wasn't an option I went for a cute little chocolate holder using the Box #2 die with my Big Shot, I left the top flap up and covered it with Melon Mambo and Whisper White to cover the crease, I also trimmed off the two small top flaps.  The pink hearts on the front are actually punched out of the white card stock to allow the Melon Mambo to show through. I love the flower in the Fresh Vintage Sale-A-Bration set and thought it would make a great centre to the feature heart on the front of the box.  The "Love" sentiment is also from a Sale-A-Bration stamp set Outlined Occasions.

Pop over and see what the other DT members have come up with this week to inspire you, and join in with the fun by entering your own creation in the challenge.

Happy Stamping

    Love your project. I'm missing the opportunity to collect those SAB stamps, but budget doesn't stretch too far these days.
