A Little Red Box.......

Good morning everyone!  We are into a Monday again and beginning a brand new week.  I have high hopes for this week, that I can get caught up again.  I spent yesterday with my feet up most of the day vegging out a bit!  I did take a little time out to make a little box I need to hold a little gift for a friend. She loves red so red it is!


Well actually red and white.............


I was rummaging through a drawer and found this little bird and it looks so cute nestled in among the pretty flowers so I just had to leave it there!  My flowers are made using the Arianna Blooms stamps and dies from Heartfelt Creations.  I bought the leaves and the diecut pieces under the flowers is part of a Sue Wilson Die (Striplet - Lattice Heart). I just love this die and you will be seeing it in all kinds of places in the days to come!

I know this is short and sweet, but I'm on a roll this morning and am off to continue working on more flowers.  Do you love making flowers?  I certainly do!

SUCH a BEAUTIFUL box, Glenda! I love red and I love to decorate boxes but don't get around to it much. I sure do enjoy the boxes you make. They are always so inspiring! The bird is absolutely darling and a perfect addition to the box with the beautiful flowers.

Very pretty box.. I love making, giving and gifting boxes... they are so very fun... and this one I am sure your friend will love...
I have to say something that I think is so very funny... you most likely have a good size table that you work at... but look at the size of your work space... the actual space is so small... LOL.. mine is about the same... but when I give a girl that kind of space for a class... they can't work... LOL.. so very funny... thanks for your kind words on my blog... love it... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
