Recycled Box

Hello my  lovely blogging friends and  followers too. After a very busy day yesterday at the SECC in Glasgow and meeting up with fellow bloggers for lunch and having a long and interesting chat, we then went on to see the rest of the stands in the show. I got home very tired but happy and to-day I have been playing catch up with some household chores.
My post to-day is an older one that was created nearly a year ago, and I though maybe some of you that never saw it first time round would like to make one similar for yourself. I made the rose from a Marianne die and I still love using it for roses to-day.  It was actually for a challenge at the time and you can find the tutorial over at my dear friend Selma's Place.  Hope you all have a lovely week-end , not so sure about the weather though. Take Care.  Hugs Rita xx

These boxes are great I got the girls to do them and fill them with chocolates for the teachers at Christmas. It just goes to show that we shouldn't just think of these as cheese spread boxes. You have transformed this one beautifully. Hazel
