Special Nesting Boxes

These two nesting boxes are presents for special people! I've used plain set of three boxes (only two have been used thus far - the third one is reserved for another special lady), and decorated one for my boyfriend's Mum, and one for his sister (who loves sheeps)!

The first box is the smallest of the three, uses a sheep digi from Meljen's Designs, some capsule papers, a doily, lilac satin ribbon, punched butterfly, teeny pearls, mulberry flowers, pro markers, and lots of glitter glue! I'm going to fill this with chocolate closer to the time!

The second box uses a Penny Black stamp, some white lace, capsule collection papers, paper flowers, capsule collection button, mulberry roses, a doily, and glitter glue again!
