Valentine Trinkets, Treasures or Treats


We are getting ready for a major snow storm this weekend so I spent the last couple of days getting all my errands done, one of which was picking up some little Valentine gifts for my daughter.  I found this little butterfly mood necklace I think she will enjoy and if it works, I think I'll really like it too.  She also loves chocolate and she loved the box we made in the workshop I taught last week so I thought I would make her one too.  

I used  the hearts nestabilities to cut out two different sized hearts for the top and outlined the larger onecwith glitter.  I stamped the image from CTHM February Word Puzzle in PTI's Fresh Snow onto the smaller heart and then added Perfect Pearls which gives it that sheen.  The patterned paper is from PTI.

I  used tiny heart brads to make the drawer pulls.  The small cardstock hearts were punched using...you guessed it...a Martha Stewart punch.

These boxes have 4 drawers and can hold 8 Hershey nuggets or any other tiny treasure a little girl may have.
I'll have pictures of the box we made last week posted soon.  In the meantine, stay warm and dry.

ETA:  Instructions for this project are available at Alex's Attic.
