Happy Valentines.

Just some fun Valentine's gift boxes. The box is the mini pizza box, tweaked a bit to fit the yummy Granny B cookie!
I used Close To My Heart's My Acrylix stamp set "Soul Mates", in the colors: Blush, Bamboo, Hollyhock, & Colonial White for the Milk Carton container, & same on the box, but also used "More to Adore" B&T. The Happy Valentines Day is from the new stamp set "In the month of February.

Have a Happy Valentines!
