Sweet Treats in a Candy Box

Can you believe it is now February!  The time seems to be going by so fast....until I look outside and see the snow, which of course seems to have been here forever!  We don't really have that much, it's just that I have been waiting for spring since November!


So how about this little project...does it not remind you of sunny days and warmer weather?  Maybe I just need to stop making winter cards, and then Mother Nature will take the hint.

The template for this candy box is a freebie for the month of February at DZ Doodles, and today is the start of their new challenge.  It would be perfect for a few Valentine treats, and you have until February 16th to try your hand at the challenge.  Maybe you can win one of Diane's adorable images!
 
 I've used the Fluttering Threesome digi, a gorgeous set of 3 butterfly images that you can find here,

I've made the box from a heavy weight, double sided DP, only adding a few ribbons and trim, as the butterflies are really my embellishment.

For more inspiration be sure to check out the rest of the team's creations here

and also the following challenges that I will be entering.

Moving Along with the Times - #83 Spring
CES Challenges - #21 Bold and Bright
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - #96 “WHATEVA!”
