Valentine's Day Amour Swap

This is the box I made for Amour swap hosted by Cathy are Treasures Heirlooms.  The top photo is the box ready for mailing to my partner.  My partner for the swap is Vivian at vivs whimsy.  She has a lovely blog.  Be sure to check it out. 

I purchased the box on line and then painted the box with pink spray paint.  I decorated the top using techniques from Paulette Insall's Organic Dimensions class.  I then began collecting the items to include in the box.  You can see the filled box and a photo of items before placing in the box.  My next post will about three of the items I made for the box.  This was a great swap.  So much fun making and gathering items that would fit in the box.

I received a heart box full of items from Vivian.  I will post photos of those in a later post also.

Special thanks to Cathy for hosting this event.
