Angelica's Gift Box and Wags N Whiskers Blog candy winner!!

3:18 PM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Hump Day!! I have a project for you and I get to announce the winner of the Hidden Blog candy for the Wags n Whiskers Blog Hop!!!

Sorry I am so late in posting!! Have you ever had one of those days with blogger or posting that just wants to make you scream!! I sure have....today. I took about 20 pictures on this dark gloomy day and none of them looked like I wanted them to. I tried to post my creation for you and blogger would not save it and Firefox kept shutting down. This last time I was about to press post, my post was done when FireFox shut down again!! Grrr!! So here is my fourth attempt!!! If it does not work this time....I GIVE UP!

Anywho...
And the winner of the 2 images of their choice from Wags n Whiskers from the hidden candy for the Wags N Whiskers blog hop is...... drumrolls please.....

Now on to my project.....

And here is my gift box using the Bag it Up template by Leigh Ann Baird av ailable at the Wild flower Patch shop.

I used the image Angelica's Hear Socks from Inky Impressions. I made this for a dear friend whose birthday I forgot. I decided I better add a birthday treat. LOL! What better treat than Lindt Chocolate.

I paper pieced my image with 3 designer papers from Bella Rose Dp from Stampin Up papers (some of my fave dp that I have been hoarding!!) The rest of the image is watercolored.

I decided to share two photos since one shows the dimension and the box with the sparkle better and the other shows all the paper piecing, dimension, embellishing and image better.

What do you think?
Here is my recipe:
stamps: Inky Impressions Angelica's Heart Socks
template: Bag it Up template by Leigh Ann Baird
Paper: SU Bella Rose, Real Red, Bazill Bitter Chocolate, white
Accessories: Soft Swirls embossing folder, swiss dots embossing folder, buttons, silver baubles, pearls, white Offray Ribbon, circle and oval spellbinders
