Southern Scraps

I'm putting together a basket of some of my hubby's favorite candies as a little Valentine's gift for him.  I made tags for each candy with cheesy cute sayings on them. You may have already seen some of these around blogland and around Pinterest.   A couple of them are my own version, (at least I have not seen them anywhere else). I printed the sayings on cardstock and punched them out with circle and circle scalloped punches. I used K&CO. scrapbook papers, ribbon, and some stickers from my stash to make the tags.

I then ran a ribbon through the holes to tie it together. I got those cute pom pom critters from Michael's and I'm just attaching one to each box - just because they are cute. Here is a side view of my box....
