Scrapping4fun - #34 All About Love

Welcome to another wonderful challenge at Scrapping4fun.  For the next couple of weeks, we want to see projects that are all about Love.  

  

For this challenge I used a wooden heart shape box, that I saved from someone throwing it away.  They didn't have a need for it, but I knew I couldn't let it go to waste.

It's very cute and can hold little things inside.

The first thing I did was to paint it.  I thought about red and pink, but burgundy seemed like a rich deep color of love.  Then the pain staking challenge of glueing each flower on the front of the box and trying to keep the heart shape.

In the center of all the flowers is a button that simply says love.

On each side I glued heart shaped lace that I've had since 2001.

On that back of the box, I tied a little tag.  The tag was a freebie from Unity Stamps from one of my orders.  I also used the heart shaped buttons and charm that came with it.   I stamped the word love on the tag.  If I didn't have the word Love enough on my project, the charm even says "made with love".

The other side of the tag.

Lots of lace of fibers were used on the tag.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

I think my son can use this to give to his girl with extra goodies for when she is studying.
