Molly—my niece and an artist extraordinaire—sat down this weekend to get a jump-start on some lucky-clover crafting in honor of March 17th. She carefully colored a bright green button and dressed up a dazzling cuff with foam stickers worthy of even the most discerning leprechaun.

Boxes of Love
Looking for an alternative to the same old Valentine's Day cards?
Check this out!
Using one of our own fabulous scrap packs from Walmart and the Heidi Grace Template Project Pack, we created the most festive of little boxes to share with our favorite daycare cuties!
Just trace the template onto any papers you prefer, cut them out, and fold! You can embellish your little gift boxes any way you like. We made simple little flowers with a hand cut heart in the middle of each.
And just what do you fill these boxes of love with?
Rather than adding to the sugar high the kids will already be on, we chose to pack our mini-boxes with an assortment of fun finds.
We just went to our local supermarket and picked up balloons, bubbles, bouncy balls, jelly bracelets, jiggly lizards and an assortment of cute little stickers. The kiddos are sure to love these little boxes that came straight from our hearts!
Comment on this post for a chance to win one of two Heidi Grace Mini Box Template Project Packs used in this project! Winners will be announced Friday, February 17th, 2012. (Sorry, no international entries will be accepted.)
