Can you believe it's Friday already? This week really flew for me! My craft room is a total mess! That's how I gauge my productivity. I will spend tonight or Saturday putting everything where it belongs and begin again on Monday!!! I went to Hobby Lobby today and made a few purchases - a few Copics, some pretty ribbon spools (I used one today above), and some felt. 
Today I'm playing along with Cupcake Iinspirations Challenge 145. I saw this zebra striped confection and knew I had to play along. I'm getting close to the wire (entries close in a few hours) so I'm going to keep this one short. 
I started out with a wooden purse shaped box that I found at Michael's for - get this - $2.99!!! I painted it with gesso, then a coat of white acrylic paint. Then I covered the front and back in a shimmery zebra print paper, added some black gems and fuchsia felt rolled flowers. I wanted my sentiment to look like a price tag attached with black and white twine. 
I will be filling the box with chocolates to give to my sister for Valentines day. I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by for a peek!
