My Blog Crush Is…

Did you see THIS post about the Spread the Love Campaign? You’ll wanna go check it out because chances are you will want to participate…so go ahead…take a look. I’ll wait…

You back? Ok great! The time has come for me to reveal my own “blog crush.” This was tough. I have a lot of blog crushes…a least thirty. I guess I’m a little bloghussy. I’m crushing on everyone. When it comes down to my biggest crush of the moment…

IheartYOUAREMYFAVEFirst of all…how can you not love a blog called You Are My Fave? It sort of has to be your fave, right? Well, luckily Melanie Blodgett has created a blog that is totally deserving of it’s name. Among all the awesome things happening over on the blog, You Are My Fave is very well known for the “in a box” posts. Melanie creates awesomely curated collections of goodies all surrounded by the same theme…then she puts em in a box. Some of my “faves” have been her Breakfast in a Box, Easter in a Box…and then of course there’s the Pretty Package in a Box that speaks to my paper-loving soul. Her “in a box” collections almost function like “mood boards” to inspire my creativity.

The “in a box” series on You Are My Fave has also inspired me to create collections of handcrafted goodness. Same idea … just with a handcrafted twist…like my Rustic Winter in a Box project!

Today, I’ve have another handcrafted “in a box” project to share inspired in party by my blog crush.

Of course, since this project is for the Spread the Love Campaign, I had to go with a box filled with love spreading items!

{HOMEMADE MINI LOAF OF BREAD} In 2012, I made my first attempt at homemade bread and it ranked as one of my proudest moments of the year! This time around I created mini loaves of bread and it worked out swimmingly. For this project, I simply wrapped the bread loaf with some waxed paper and a strip of paper stamped with the Hearts Plus stamp set and Rouge Ruffles ink.

{MINI JAM} This little mini jar of preserves got a make over with some cardstock and a simple heart stamp.

{STAMPED WOODEN KNIFE} I have a stash of wooden utensils…not entirely sure why, I guess for projects like this! I stamped the wooden knife with the “spread the love” sentiment from the Perfect Harvest Fillers stamp set.

{STAMPED TEA TOWEL} I’ve done this project before and you can see the full tutorial HERE. It’s super simple to do! This time around, I kept with the theme by stamping jars and heart images.

{MASON JAR TWINE TAGS} After sharing my tutorial on bakers twine organization, I am constantly inspired to put my twine to good use. I created cute little packaging for the twine by simply wrapping it around mason jar shapes that were stamped from the Well Preserved Medium stamp set.

{MINI MASON JAR STICKERS} Now that I have a Xyron 1.5″ Sticker Maker, I pretty much want to make a sticker out of everything. I used the Well Preserved: Small stamp set to create a trio of cutie patootie jar stickers.

{DIE CUT THANK YOU CARDS & TAG} With a set of thank you cards, the recipient of this box can continue to spread the love by sharing notes with friends. I created this set by die cutting the “Y” and “U” with the Uppercase Alphabet Die Collection and filling in the “O” with another lovey dovey mason jar from Well Preserved.
