Hello... I can't believe another week has passed by already and it's time for another challenge! it's the turn of Team A over at
and we have the fab theme of...
'Anything Goes'
So you can let your imagination go wild and create whatever the mood takes!! ;-))
I've made a Valentine's Gift Box....
I decided to go out of my comfort zone this week and try something new for me ... so I took a Brazil Nut Box leftover from Christmas...
I carefully unfolded all the seams....
then just needed to bling it up....
I've used a Martha Stewart Punch for heart edging all around the box... and used my new Spellbinders Heart Die to make a decoration for the top.
Papers: Freebie with magazine
Heart Decoration: Spellbinders D-Lites Die - 'Swirled Heart'
Punch: Martha Stewart Edger Punch - 'Lace Heart'
Bows: Papermania Capsule Collection - 'Parkstone Pink'
Flower, Pearls, Ribbon from stash....

Sue this is fantastic and such good recycling - but what does one put inside it? It's too pretty for chocolate now, in case it gets covered with mucky finger prints! Glad you are feeling better, Jx
I just love chocolate covered Brazil nuts.
This is very clever and I wouldn't attempt it in a month of Sunday's way, way out of my comfort zone.
What a fabulous job you have done though, it is brilliant.

Imaging receiving Chocolate in pretty box like this one, oh boy... you can have the chocolate, I'll keep the box! : 0
What a gorgeous box Sue!! I love that heart paper and your beautiful new heart die! So glad you are feeling better!
Big Hugs, Tammy
Wow Sue who would have thought that your beautiful box was made with the Brazil Nut box (oh yummy I do love those)? You have done a wonderful job the paper is pretty and love the heart on the top. Susan x
This is so gorgeous Sue - the DP's are beautiful and that heart die is 'to die for'. I'm a bit partial to Chocolate covered Brazil nuts - only ever seem to have them at Christmas though - which is perhaps just as well lol!!! Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better this week.
Hope you continue to improve hun.
Take care.

Beautiful Beautiful Sue!! I have put aside a few nice boxes that my tea comes packaged in and thought they might be nice covered with dp's, but wasn't sure how they might turn out! And yours is Lovely, so I just might give it a go after all! ;-) Thanks for the inspiration Sweet Lady! 8-)
