ScoreBoard ATC Box

I'm ready for spring- aren't you?

Here's a look at a couple of dies from my new collection, From The Heart. I made a ScoreBoard ATC Box from matboard and matching ATC card. The box will also hold candy, jewelry, small treasures, business cards, gift cards and lots of other fun things. There are Movers & Shapers that coordinate but I chose to leave the box plain this time.

Here are the Sizzix dies I used:

Other Supplies:

3. Assemble box using strong double sided adhesive.

Hope you all have a great Valentine's Day! I don't know if you celebrate it like we do here in the States, but you never need an excuse to celebrate those you love. See you in two weeks!
