Morning Peeps, today sees the start of our May challenge at River Of Creativity and this month our theme is 'Anything Goes with the option to recycle'. The challenge is non card making but we love to see any other form of hand crafted items, needlework, jewellery, scrapbook layouts, cake making mixed media projects, we love seeing them all.
I changed direction with my DT share, I had made a frame with lots of buttons, but I became less keen on it each time I saw it so instead recycled a Fortum and Mason chocolate box I received at Christmas......... which contained my favourite dark chocolate coffee creams.
I painted the top of the box with acrylic paint, decorated the edges with Two Red Robins Forever Green Ivy and the top with an organza bow and TRR Adoration from the Mother's Love collection.
Seems like a good idea to share a few of my recent shares over at TRR as well.
Lots of Reflections and dies going on in this one, Well Wishing, Broken Boundaries wall which coordinated with the well perfectly, and Jenny Wren in several sizes, Maeve is the big one in the front and the others from In the Countryside. Also used the same Ivy as around the box.
Have a good Thursday everyone.

Your upcycled box is beautiful Brenda, much prettier than the original! It will make a lovely gift for someone.
The cards are beautiful- makes me long to be in the countryside, it's so lovely at this time of year when everything is fresh and new.

Che scatola meravigliosa! Mi fa davvero piacere vedere una creazione di riciclaggio, Brenda!! Hai creato un pezzo unico delizioso!! Stupendi i fiori con il grande fiocco verde e mi piace moltissimo l'edera sui bordi!! Una scatola perfetta per le tue candele!
Il tuo trittico con le mucche ha un bellissimo effetto di prospettiva e la card con il pozzo e gli uccellini mi fa sognare, mi aspetto di vedere spuntare una fatina... :) Che posto meraviglioso!
Qui piove di nuovo e pare che durerà. Non buono per l'orto e il frutteto in questa stagione...

Those are all amazing!
Love the cows and crookedy fence!
All are such beautiful makes! The box looks so pretty with the flowers on top, I keep these types of boxes too but never seem to make anything out of them.
Thank goodness I've found someone who likes coffee flavoured food. I love drinking the stuff, but don't like eating it! Love your recycled box. It's just sooooo pretty.
Really adore the wishing well and wren card too.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Lucky you getting Fortnum and Mason chocolates, they would have disappeared pretty rapidly in this house! I often keep pretty boxes and then throw them out when the collection gets out of hand, I really should take a leaf out of your book and transform them. Your box is beautiful, thanks for the inspirations. Wonderful country scene cards too xx
Your recycled box is gorgeous & boy would I have enjoyed those chocolates! Love your nature makes, too, Brenda!
Gorgeous samples Brenda and I do love the recycled box.
