♥ The Colors of LOVE ♥

This week's challenge over at Flourishes is called "The Colors of Love". It is to use the colors red, pink and white on your card/project. Here is my card for that challenge.

I used some gorgeous papers and cardstock stickers by Echo Park, a red heart doily, punched butterflies, red pearl heart and some pink ribbon.

Have a wonderful night!!

♥ A {Vintage} Teacher's Treasure Box ♥

I love to alter and decorate boxes to give as gifts. And when I saw Betsy Veldman's "Vintage Findings" challenge and Flourishes "The Beauty of a Gift" challenge, I decided to make some vintage style boxes for my son's Pre-School teachers.

I purchased the chalkboard topped boxes at Michael's and decorated them with some vintage alphabet and school papers, wooden school elements, an old ruler, ribbons, mini clipboard and a piece of chalk, which I hot glued to the top. I also used some Melissa Frances rub-ons as well as a button. I painted the top of the box white and then inked it brown and blue for an aged look. Before giving them to his teachers, I filled them with candy. His teachers loved them!

I hope you all have a safe and Happy Halloween!! Have FUN!

Hugs.....
