Secret Wishes Granted

Today for my 100 proof press design team project, here's a  lovely little heart shaped box using the stamp called heart locket chain (5612-UC). It reminds me of my daughter's 16th birthday when  everyone gave her a silver engraved heart charm. I then took all the diferent heart charms... some serious, some cute, some silly.... and made a bracelet for her to remember her special day. That charm braclet was also on her thank you cards, so everyone could see the completed  pretty braclet.

To make today's project, I printed the locket on white tissue paper then glued it to the white box. I also glued a black lace paper napkin on to the top. I edged it with scalloped gold german scrap. It is topped with a black and cream seam tape rosette,  gold appliques and two puffy styrofoam hearts with a heart charm stamped on them. The sentiment is on a gold sign  and says "secret wish".

Hope one of your secret wishes is granted this week.
always, gerri
