Recipe challenges

Hello and I hope you have all had a great day. I've been doing some crafting after cleaning house this morning. I'm beginning my Valentine's projects.

I made my box using the recipe challenges from Paper Sundaes (brown, pink, lace, and flowers) and The Pink Elephant (polka dots, a bow, and pink.) I also have some die cut hearts on my box- Secret Crafter Saturday has set a heart theme challenge. As promised, the blog candy has been increased. More will be added as more enter, so make sure you stop by this post for a chance.
