Paris is always a good idea

LESSology Challenge #21 ~ You are my sweetheart

Hello there, welcome to our first challenge of 2013 at LESSology

The challenge theme is "You are my sweetheart" 
to use heart(s) on your project, and remember to include a recycle item

I started with this gift box, first of all, I had to finish up the chocolate in the box right? : ) Yum...

next is to find the paper I want to dress up the box, and guess what, the paper for the box is from a magazine and the paper for the lid cost only 25 cents from Michaels

my newest HEART die cut, I just have to use this....

now just need to dig into my scrap jars to look for tiny pieces of left-over lace, burlap....

well, I like how it turned out, how about you?

I hope you stop by LESSology to check out the beautiful projects done by the team

Our fabulous sponsor for this challenge

Our sponsor this month is Heidi Myers, an amazing artist teaching her craft through The Art Studio via Scrapbook News & Review! The winner will get a pass to Part 2 - the narrative and art portion of the online class Words. Words? Words! - Words and Text as Narrative and as Art. This class is valued at $29.99.

You’ll explore the use of words and text to create art just as you would use acrylic paints, ink, paper mache or other art mediums. Words will become both background and focal point. You’ll use text to create and enhance embellishments and you’ll identify 10 ways to mold words into foundations for your art. You’ll also create your own word art and you’ll begin to view everyday props as vehicles to exhibit and enhance your stories

Words. Words? Words! - Words and Text as Narrative and as Art is a four-week workshop broken in two parts. Register for both parts one and two at the same time anytime between July 6th and July 19th for a 10% discount.  Use the promo code WWW612 when purchasing.
