~ Blossom Boxes ~ sweet lemon potpourri

APs1
I'm just going to squash a whole lot into this post... time is so short for me these days, and I don't think I'll be able to be back till the weekend.

These are the blossom boxes!! using the apple pie box template .. stuffed full of sweet lemon potpourri and ready for gifts for some special friends.

Sorry for the picture overload.

A card for Miss Mona's challenge here. I rarely have the time to sit and let a color challenge work me out, but this time I did, and I loved it.
