Another Petal Cone box, however this one I hand cut by tracing around another my friend had sent me. I did change the colours up a bit, though. Here I've used Pink Pirouette, Going Gray and Baja Breeze cause I needed to use the pre-cut scallop 1/2 circles I was given to help disguise the slightly dodgy cutting. I also wanted to add a flower to the top but I couldn't work out how it would close so I dug out my Crop-O-Dile, that I have used just twice to add some eyelets and used a piece of Pretty In Pink tafetta ribbon to close it.
And then, instead of keeping my spare to use as a pattern, I decided to make that one up too!
This one was cut from Melon Mambo and also has Pink Pirouette scallop circles. The edging is from the Ice Cream Parlour DSP & Quick Accents SAB pack (US/CAN only) and the ribbon is from the Ice Cream Parlour Ribbon & Buttons SAB pack (US/CAN only). My friend looks after me so well, sending me extras she had earnt. The Pom Pom Trim is from the current Australian Autumn/Winter mini catalogue. Boy, the Crop-O-Dile had its biggest work out of its life, adding more eyelets for the ribbon closure. It's the most it's been used since I got it 3 or so years ago *blush*.
Cute, hey? I think I'll fill them with some choccies for the Nana's for Mother's Day!
Be sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team have come up with, there's some gorgeous inspiration for you.

You're so creative, Jo. Both examples are just lovely. See you in Melbourne VERY soon!!!
These are very sweet Jo. I particularly like the way you've made their "tops".
So, So gorgeous Jo!! I love that pom pom ribbon, and all the colour you've incorporated into your beautiful projects! xx
Gorgeous little projects Jo!
I love my Fifth Ave umbrella too and have had many uses out of it over recent months which is a nice change for Canberra.
Such pretty soft colours Jo, Lovely Project, both of them.
These are both gorgeous Jo. Love how you dressed them up. I have to admit the die didn't appeal to me before but I may change my mind!

Awesome boxes Jo, I knew you would put it all to good use!
