I just wanted to say  a huge thank you to my Midweek Magnolias teamies...your support and well wishes are so greatly appreciated!!!!

Okay onto to today's project...I decided to make another lantern using the template from Sandra's Scrap Shop...it's perfect for storing some of my favourite embellies!!  I have been working through the Sakura Collection...I could have sworn that I had some Japanese style paper that would compliment "Sakura Tilda"...do you think that I could find it??!!...LOL!
