Peachy Keen Challenge Project - Valentine's Box.

Do you guys remember being in grade school or even now if you have young children, making a special valentines box or container to collect Valentine's? Well, this project reminds me of that. Now I just have to find 30 classmates to fill my box with valentine's-LOL!

The Let's Face it Friday Peachy Keen challenge is to create an altered container using Peachy Keen Stamps faces to store Valentines or cards you receive throughout the year. Because I am in the Valentine's mood, I stuck to that theme. Jitterbuggin' also has a black, white and red challenge going on. My white is actually off-white. I also posted it over at Patti-Lynn Creations Challenge.

I am scrapping with my friends this weekend and was not planning to do either of these challenges so I was not real prepared with a container. Well, we have lots of snacks, so a box of Ritz crackers was sacrificed for this project. 

I ended up cutting the little dog about 3 times with different colored paper combos, before I found the one I liked. I attached him with pop dots for a bit of dimension.

Here's how I did it....
