A Cute Idea for Valentine's Day

Ok the cute idea is the Sweetheart box, and not my "love" words all around my picture!  I only put those around the picture to dress it up because it looked so boring!  Lol!  I found this idea a couple of years ago in one of my scrapbook magazines, but I couldn't tell you which one (Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbooks, Etc, Papercrafts or Simple Scrapbooks, which is no longer in publication) and I cannot give credit to the person who came up with it, either.  But it was such a cute and simple idea!  I made one for my hubby, daughter & son-in-law, son & daughter-in-law and my mother & father-in-law. I think I may have even made them for my nieces and nephews. 

The one I made above was very basic. I just cut a picture down to size.  I matted it on a piece of cardstock and adhered it to the Sweetheart box.  Then I simply wrapped a ribbon around it.  You could put stickers, buttons or word-strips on it to really dress it up.  I was going for really simple here.

I'm going to make some more this year for my precious grandbabies.

Happy crafting and God Bless!
