How about a little sneak peek today? Yes! One of the new sets being released by My Favorite Things on October 1st is all about chocolate, sweets and ice cream – How Sweet It Is!

I colored this image with Copic Markers and had it sitting there on my counter, trying to decide what to do with it. Then I remembered the challenge recently for Jenn Balcer’s 2-5-7-10 box and a light bulb went off. I made this box larger, using an 8-1/2 x 12″ sheet of cardstock, added a ribbon handle and scored the top flap so that it would fold over the front of the box. I used Fiskars Scallop edged scissors to cut the panel around the image, but used the Fiskars Cloud edge scissors to cut the top flap. I think I am lovin’ these little boxes, and I have filled this one full of my new favorite snack, Almond Snickers! One other thing, I stamped the swirly flower image from Behind the Scenes on the box in Night of Navy ink, but don’t know how well you can see it in the photo. In real life, it gives the box a tiny bit of umpf!
