Hello Everyone!! Today is Saturday and time for another Saturday Spotlight Challenge. I just love how these challenges think outside the box!!
This week we would like you to think "bigger is better"! Use oversized bit items, accessories, images etc. that may even be too large for your card!! Get out all those BIG things and use them!
For our Spotlight sponsor this week we have...Michelle's Scrapbooking and more!

How cool is that?!**

For my creations I used the Bella Blooms big flower and the sentiment. The colors are Baja Breeze and Brown. I used Mercy's sketch #58 to create this card. I did add an extra layer with the top not die that I cut in half to add some curves.
I used the template from Leigh Ann Baird called the Able Gable template to create this little gift box. Another super easy and fun template!!! This is actually a pretty roomy little box, so the options are endless! I used it to put Lindt Chocolates in for my dear sister in law for her birthday. The leaves with the flower are created with gingham ribbon. The flower is cute into layers and popped up with dimensionals.

Paper Baja Breeze, soft sky, Bitter chocolate, white,
