Design Challenge Box - Finally!

Well, here are the boxes I made for the "What kind of box is this?" challenge. I specifically designed it to hold homemade donuts! They fit perfectly in a box that is as big as a 12 x 12 will make it. I made the donuts first, so I didn't have enough time to make the box up as cute as I wanted to. (The donuts took a while!) You can find the recipe on Erincooks.com. They were incredibly good when they were warm, and still very good the next day.

I also wanted to do some more with this box for Valentine's Day. I thought it would be fun to do my Valentine's this year for my kids in my own boxes (especially since they don't really like the box of chocolates that come in a heart). Last year, I didn't have time to make cards for my family, so I just had candies for them instead. After my oldest gave me a Valentine card he had made for me, he asked me where his card was. I felt AWFUL! I won't make that mistake again. So, here are the boxes and cards I made up. Eventually I'll make it to the store to get the candy I want to put inside.

The sweet little animals I used are from scrapnfonts.com in a doodlebat font called DB Animal Occasion. The font is called 2 Peas Airplanes.

Delay!

I'm so sorry! I really wanted to have the boxes done by yesterday...but I'm dealing with some very sick little children and self. We've got ear infection, fever, sore throats, coughs, runny noses, etc. I've had them ALMOST done for days! I'll be posting it either tonight or tomorrow night...SORRY!!
