Always and Forever Candy Box : Love Is In The Air Blog Hop

I simply adore Target's dollar section.  My target had these fabulous $1 boxes last week.  The options are endless! Welcome to Love is in the Air Blog Hop. 

Your should have come here from Colleen.  Your next stop is Sukie.  If you get lost or want to start at the beginning, please visit Paulette at Around the Block With Scrapalette.
This is how it started. Plain and simple.
I started by layering my ribbon and lace.  The lace is from Hobby Lobby and the ribbon is from Joann. I used Terrificall Tacky Tape to secire the two layers together.
My next step was to apply my ribbon to the box. 
 Once I had the ribbon on the box, I used some gliitered ribbon to hand pleat.
Next I applied a layered cut from Love Struck Cricut cartridge at 4.76 inches.
Then I cut this banner form Heritage at 1.94 inches. I inked with white chalk ink and then stamped this sentiment from Pink By Design Here Comes The Bride Set.
I then folded the edges and hot glued the banner to the box with some rhinestones.
Here are some close ups to see the details.
And of course . . .
A GIVEAWAY for one lucky reader.
Several pieces of ribbon, Tutu Pink Glitter Glam, and flocking jars in bright colors for spring.
All you have to do is be a follower or subscriber and leave a comment on this project.

Your altered box is amazing! I just love how you added the ribbons to it. I also love how that sentiment works beautifully with the projects. What a fun heart box for some Valentine goodies!

Before we moved in August, I lived at Target! It was my 4 year old's favorite outing with Mommy. Now the nearest Target is almost 100 miles away!
I would have picked the plain box up in a heartbeat, but I wouldn't have thought to alter it.
My daughter loves all things pink and sparkly. She also crafts at my side. She could have FABULOUS fun if we're lucky enough to win the giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity!
