Happy mid week everyone. How's your new year so far? After the Christmas holiday, I am back to work again. I know it's a little ridiculous, but I am looking forward already for my next time off which will be end of this month. If you are also going to CHA in Anaheim, well...hope to see you there!!
Since I am in an early February Valentines mood, I am sharing with you the love theme of a high gift box. I came across the tutorial from THIS TALENT BLOGGER and decided to try one. The finished box is not very large, I think it would be used perfectly for those mini 'heart shape' bath spa soaps or some facial towels, but that's just my thoughts. I picked the cute Mini Tilda & Edwin from Magnolia-licious to add a tag on the side. The Kissing Edwin Standing and the Shy Tilda are on the Magnolia Doohickey Vintage Tag. I just love this vintage tag die from Magnolia.

this is super duper cute! Luv the colors & all the details on this gift basket! I luv basket. You made me feel like to make one for myself too. Luv the tilda & edwin's coloring too! :-) I haven't been to tokyo for AGES! ... not, but like 6~7 years. I luv to visit but it's better to do so when i have some money to spend there!;-)cuz as you know, it's very expensive, esp. now, with the exchange rate against US$, it's even worse...
A girl after my own heart! Projects like this are what I enjoy doing so very much. It is beautiful! We "love" having you join us at Perfect Sentiment.
Gorgeous! I LOVE the little box and all the details are perfect! Great job for first try!!! THANKS for joining us at Simon Says Stamp this week!
