I made a card a couple of months ago that has been sitting on my desk staring at me, begging me to add something to it. It was one of those things you make that you just say......hmmmmm, this needs something else. So I added a flower to the ribbon. In the process, I also made a gift box to go with it from an empty Godiva candy box. I LOVE to recycle things whenever I can. So, if the card looks familiar, it is. If the flowers on the box look familiar, they are. I just used one on the Breast Cancer "Awareness" card I made yesterday. I must really like them.

Stunning Wendy. I would have been doing a great disservice to folks everywhere if I didn't blog about your candy for Breast Cancer Awareness

Wendy this is STUNNING! Love the sayings and the flowers are PERFECT! I'm glad I'm not the only one with empty boxes saved for altered projects! Off to tell my DH I'm not crazy ;)
