ChiChi Allen created this adorable box to hold chocolate squares a couple of Valentines ago. It’s perfect to give away up to four of the delicous squares. It’s fast and easy. You can find the tutorial on SCS today.
I will be getting my first order of the new catalog today. I hope it will inspire me to stamp. After my big break, I am not sure what kind of cards I will be creating. But I hope I will be back tomorrow with another upload.
P.S.: My camera doesn’t focus on super close ups no more. The second picture took me 10 minutes to take. I need to find me a photo shop in my area that can check it out. Does anyone have a Canon Rebel XT that had the same problem before?
Hugs and smiles

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I’m sure I’m not the only one that has missed you, but I understand the need for your break!!!! It’s all about priorities.
This little box is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what you are able to post next!!! Take care and enjoy your new stuff!! I’m loving my little Trendy Trees! 🙂
This is adorable, Beate! I love the colors!
I’ve missed you Beate! So glad you are taking time for yourself and your family though – but boy was I excited to see this post from you today!! I’m sure your new box of goodies will get you inspired again! This is the cutest box – thanks again for all you do!
Oh Beate! Welcome back. I’ve been missing your posts. Hope you had a terrific break. I love this little box. BUT, I don’t want to be the giver, I want to be the recipient! LOL
From a chocoholic!
I had a Digi Rebel XT and unless you have a close up lense (100mm Macro) a close up shot will never be very crisp. We had the base lense with the camera and could never get a really nice close up shot. Hope that makes sense. BTW, nice to see you Beate and fab project.
It’s so good to see you back Beate! I might have to try that box when I put together Valentine packages for my college girls. It looks like fun. Hope you have lots of fun stamping today!!!!
Imagine my glee when I saw you in my reader! How’s your break going? I hope all is well and you’re feeling rested. Looking forward to see what you’ll come up with when you get your new goodies. Take care!
hugs, B.
That is a really cute little box. My first order from the new catty should be in next Monday. I can’t wait! Have fun with your new stuff. Take care. Tiffany 🙂
Hallo Beate, schoen, dass Du zurueck bist. Es ist eine sehr schoene Box geworden. Sehr nette Idee.

So very glad to here from you again beate!
Pretty little idea, love that it holds chocolates. I will have to check out the tutorial! How are you doing? Hope you are keeping busy and enjoying time with the family! Hugs…
Everyday I would check your blog, you have always given me inspiration and I have missed you. So glad your back.
Oh how sweet!!
Well, I’m sure we will all love whatever you stamp, Beate! We sure have missed seeing your creations! Enjoy your new goodies!
BEATE!!! Welcome back to the blogging world! We have missed you so!!! Love the little box…and glad to see you again!
It’s so good to see your post today, Beate! Your box is wonderful, and I love the papers and images you’ve used!!
Sorry I’m no help with your camera. Good luck!!
Oh, I am glad you are back but happy you got some much needed time in with Rick and the kiddos!!! This project is too too cute, I am going to make one later today!!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with using your new goodies – I am lovin’ the new catty! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
I am so thrilled to see a post on your blog! I’ve missed you. This box is super cute.
I wonder if you have a piece of dust inside. I’ve noticed that has happened with mine at times. I don’t touch the inside but sometimes blowing the dust out helps. There were directions for cleaning the mirrors inside, but I think I’m leaving that to the pros. I know that there is a way to put it in cleaning mode, but I’ve never actually done it.
Gorgeous, Beate! So glad to see you back. 🙂
So glad to see you back. I respect that we all need time for self and family and I am glad you took some. We have all missed the great Beate.
Oh ya…the box is cute too!!
Hello! I hope you are enjoying your time off, and hope you take some time just for you! Miss you though! Take Care and Hugs!

Hey there you…..great to see you back. Was just thinking of you today and thinking where has that girl got to. Enjoy receiving and playing with your new catty goodies.
Oh, Beate – glad to have you back, you got me worried!! really missed your inspiration! Thanks for sharing your art with me! Love and hugs always!
So good to see you back! I have put Ghiradeli’s on my shopping list so I can make some of these boxes. Love yours!
Good Morning Beate!
I was super busy yesterday but I did see the SCS newsletter and your tutorial come through…I was super excited because we can FINALLY buy these chocolates in Canada!!
I have a Rebel too and what I’ve noticed is that I need to stand back a bit…maybe two feet and then zoom in with my lens. I remember them teaching us that in an hour long class I took when I got it. I’ll take a look at what my settings on my camera are this morning.
oh this box is really nice love the colors
Hugs

This is just adorable, Beate. . .a MUST TRY! Thanks for the great tutorial! HOpe you’re doing well! HUGS!

I am sure, that after you have the new stamps in your hand, you will just enjoy beeing in ink again – don’t worry, it’s like biking, once you have done it – you will always know how to do it.

I know you said you were taking a break, but I still I thought you’d pop in again soon and you did! hope all is well. love your little box! can’t wait to see what you create with your new goodies!
SO happy to see you BACK Beate!!!
I’ve not been doing much creating for a while. This box is TOO cute and PERFECT for a little something for the ladies at work for VDay!!!
Thanks for the inspiration!!!
It’s so good to see your post, Beate. I pray that you have had a wonderful time catching up with your husband. I simply can not imagine having my dh gone for so long. I have a friend whose hubby is working in Afghanistan and has been there for a year already….with another to go. I admire you and your family immensely.
The box is so cute, too. Can’t wait to see what you make with your new SU goodies!
God Bless,

What a fun way to give away chocolate! Love the little box!
Oh I’ve missed your creations! I can’t wait to see what you ordered and then what you do create! Your work is soo inspiring! Welcome back! 🙂
OH YAY! You are back! I have missed you dearly Beate, but I hope you have had a wonderful time catching up with Rick and the kids as a family again! I look foward to seeing what you create with the new catty items! Take care, Love Keesh x
I did this box up but used little heart chocolates and put 4 of them in it. Love it!!
Howdy, Beate!
I am sooooooo honored to see my name on your blog!!!!! I am so thrilled to know you still remembered me!!!
How’s life? I took some time off being a demo and just finished my dissertation a month ago. I am now working as an intern in Dallas and am going to Sharon Armstrong’s stamp club. How weird is that?
Hope all is going well. We are hoping to head back to College Station this summer but we are also looking at San Antonio.
Love,
