Valentine gift Tea Tabbed Box- YNS Teatime Fhiona

Happy Hump Day everyone!! I hope you are all well!!  I am very busy but very relieved!!  My dear friend Crystal encouraged to take my sewing machine apart and look if something was jammed.  Well I did not see anything jammed but I did find out what the problem is....Now I have my sewing machine back!!!!  I feel like I just made $150-$400 just by not having to fix or buy a new sewing machine.  Woo hoo!!

Anywho...Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I thought I would just share a little something that I made to give to a friend for Valentine's Day.



For my creation,   I used the adorable Tea time Fhiona from Your Next Stamp, the sentiment  from Whimsy's Friendship Ticket sentiments, and the Tea Tabbed box template from Lauren Meader available at My Time Made Easy.  I had a fun time creating this!!  The sentiments cut out with the Spellbinders hearts dies are typed on my Computer.  The dp is scraps from my scrap bin...felt good to use up or recycle!! The black scallop is made using my uber handy Grand Caliber machine and the Big Scallops Petite Borderabilities die from Spellbinders.


I hope you enjoyed this creation....
