Hearts and Cupids and a new Blog Design

Happy Monday everyone :) It is a sunny, cold day here in Nova Scotia, with a break in the snowstorms, although we are expecting another 6-12 inches in the next 48 hours - the joys of winter... So, are you loving my new blog design? I won a mini-makeover during a blog hop a couple of weeks ago from Michele over at Now Stamp This, and Madeline over at Shabby Vanity did a fabulous job! I hope, over time, to be able to get some more upgrades from Madeline, but for now, this is perfect!

Today is challenge day over at Paper Playtime. The challenge today is to make a project using hearts or cupids. I decided to use both :) Here is what I came up with:



I cut the box from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. The cupid is from Sweethearts, and the top of the box has a phrase from Create a Critter that says "I love you" - well it says I "heart" you...



The cute heart paper is from a valentines stack from K and Co. It has the cutest paper! I just adore it.



I welded the heart to the box on two sides using my Gypsy girl. The heart is from George and Basic Shapes. I put a sheet of acetate inside the box, covering each of the hearts. I am going to make 3 more boxes, and fill each one up with Hershey's kisses, one for each of us, for Valentines day :) The cardstock is from Stampin Up and I doodled with my Sakura white gel pen.

I hope you all pop over to Paper Playtime, see what the design team came up with and play along :)
