Valentine hearts

Katharina has a fab WOJ PoM -make a valentine's gift. Well I have had a go at making my first pillow box. As I have been married to my lovely hubby for 5 years I have put 5 heart chocs in it. He collects model buses so will be getting 1 of those if he is lucky ... but it would never fit in the box!
I scored the box onto white card and then covered it with this heart paper, before cuting it out and folding it into the box shape.

I watercoloured and distressed Melinda and cut her out using my nesties.The matting paper is from the same stack as the dp. The heart trim is cut from paper and attached so it hangs over the edge of the box. I punched slots in the ends and threaded ribbon through so the end fastens with ribbon.
I put Melinda and the hearts on the box and then stuck it all together. Finally Ellie helped me stickle her wing and the hearts, and add a bit of bling. Its not very fussy but neither am I or my hubby!


I haven't done much blog hopping over the last week as Beth has been a poorly girl. She has a bad cough and so has not been sleeping and has been a limpet during the day. We're off to the doctors tomorrow so hopefully I will get to visit everyone's blogs this coming week.
Just to make you smile, and as it has crossed my mind as it is snowing. We have put a cat flap in fro Miffy - problem is she is too lazy/snooty to push it open herself, so stands and miaows at it for Ellie or myself to push the flap open so she can hop out!!!! Kinda defeats the object!!
