The wonderful houndstooth paper is another design from the Festival of Prints designer stack which is exactly the right size for making these boxes! I loved the contrast of Cherry Cobbler with the bold print and softened the look with Crumb Cake seam binding. The tag is another one from the hostess set Mixed Medley - this really is a versatile set.
I made a coordinating card - a really simple design with strips of textured and patterned papers and a gorgeous layered die-cut button. I'll definitely be using this design again.
Here's a close-up showing the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes - it seems to have got smudged. I'd like to say it was from my tears of sorrow but I don't think I'm going to convince you on that one!

Talking of tears, I came into the living room yesterday to find my daughter rolling about laughing. When I asked what was up she told me she'd just read this: 'Everyone was crying at the wedding - even the cake was in tiers'. Hmm, it seems that hysteria has set in.
Well it's Friday and it's a bit of a party weekend for me! I just hope I'm up to it... staying up until 10pm is a bit of a challenge for me these days - and will they be serving horlicks at a party do you think?! I hope you have a lovely weekend, whatever you're up to, and I shall see you very soon.
You're not boring me, Vicky. I love boxes and I love your hounds tooth one with matching CAS card, which will make a super little gift set for one lucky recipient x
