Happy Tuesday friends :) Today I have a fun little project that came to me in the middle of the night. I often find myself thinking of craft ideas as I'm trying to go to sleep, which just keeps me awake!
Awhile back I did this post about Abie's Valentines for her class. I had some of the boxes left over and I knew I could come up with a good use for them.
Here's the outside of the box
And the first page with a little pull tab to get it out of the box with.
Here's a side view with all the layers! It's like a leaning tower of lumpy hearty goodness!
I pulled out all of my little pink embellishments ...
And went to town!
I used Valentine stamps,
Lace and pearls,
Punches and buttons,
Anything that said Valentine to me!
I mixed all different colors of pinks and reds, just whatever struck me at the moment.
To hold all the pages together, I made little tabs and wrapped them around each heart, adhering them as I went. This is a side view of the "binding".
This was just a fun little project, I didn't make it for anyone in particular. That made it that much more fun!
I hope you have a great Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by today :)
