So I was cooking with butter and I grabbed the box and emptied out the sticks and was about to throw the box in the recycle bin…and LOL inspiration hit. I disassembled the box and created a template with it. It was really easy, so easy in fact that I felt daring enough to cut a window in one of the sides. So there you have it…free template from a butter carton. I used some CS from my stash, That’s Amore PP from CTMH, ribbon also from my stash, sentiment CTMH, Tulip ink CTMH. I used the clear bit in the front of a paper cd sleeve to cover my window…now if there was any candy left in the house I could fill it :0)
This fits the challenge from Get Sketchy…which is Trash to Treasure.
And possibly the Template challenge from Just Us girls challenge Blog
Have a wonderful Sunday my friends I hope you all stay safe and warm.
Enjoy.

Awesome box, Sarah! Beautiful colors and love that paper. You did a great job with the template, too! Wonderful idea.
Hope your day is a good one, too. It finally stopped snowing here. All is calm and bright.
Sarah, thanks for your kind words on my blog about our big storm.
Love this idea of a Valentine box. your paper is perfect and I'm sure your girls will be the hit of the party with this! Very creative too!

This is beautiful Sarah! Domestic and creative...you're the complete package. Thanks for a great idea...perhaps I need to go empty the recycle bin and see what other boxes may strike my fancy.
Sarah, what a gorgeous box! You are so creative - I loved how you recycled that butter box & made this lovely treat gift! Thanks for playing with Just Us Girls - I hope you join us next Saturday for an all new challenge :)
Very cute and such a great idea!
WOW, this is fantastic! Aren't you the clever one!! I guess I'd better start thinking outside the "box" (pardon the pun) before putting items in the recycle or trash!
Your project is beautiful and will certainly make someone very happy! Well done!!
OMGoodnes, Sarah! Now I have to save my butter boxes too? LOL!!! This is FABULOUS! It's amazing what we stampers do, isn't it? I love this box! And I know what you mean about no candy! Mine's all gone...no kids in the house and DH doesn't like sweets! Hmmmmm....!! Thanks so much for playing our JUGs challenge!
wow, so clever. AWESOME job.
Sarah you always manage to take crafting to a new level for me. I can not imagine looking at an empty butter container and turning it into an breathtaking project just amazes me. You amaze me! Thanks for sharing!
You are so creative! Gorgeous.
This is fabulous!! What a great idea!! Thx for joining us @ get sketchy!!
Fabulous! You are one clever lady (and oh so cute, too boot)!
What was that someone said about not having mojo a couple of days ago? Oh that couldn't have been you. If is was then you must have gotten some for Christmas (not that I believed for a second that you lost yours). This is awesome!!! Now fill it and send to me. LOL. :)
