 A few weeks ago I was lucky to have been chosen as a GDT for

the theme for this week is 

ANYTHING GOES

I decided to make an easel card, gift box and gift, there are quite a few pictures to see I hope you don't mind

My first picture shows the three items together as a set, I have used pink linen cardstock for both card and box, I used my new digi image from La La Land called Marci in Beret, I coloured her with copics then cut her out.  The papers are Papermania and have been mounted onto gold satin mirri card, I added a ribbon 'cutie' banner, Viva Decor, sentiment and a couple of my crochet flowers with gems for their centres. 

the second picture shows the project plus the gift out of the box

3rd picture shows the easel card which is 4x4

4th picture shows the box, also 4x4,

the flower is a 4x4 Dahlia, I followed a You Tube tutorial made by , bobwilson123, she is an Australian lady and has many of these awesome projects available to watch on You Tube.

I have a second project that I made which is an adult beret that I crocheted recently, I have never tried anything like this in my life before, I was so pleased to have finished it, I used the colours, yellow, white and blue. The first picture shows the top of the beret with a crocheted flower.

FLOWER BOX AND TILDA

Hi all, I hope that you don't mind looking at a few photos of my Flower Box, I have used this box to feature just a few of my favourite things, I have made to box from Kraft card, I crocheted a Chrysanthemum flower which I have adhered to the top of the box along with some die cut Memory Box leaves.

I stamped the main body of the box with flower stamps from a set that I bought from Waltzingmouse stamps a long time ago, I used TH distress ink.  I used pink linen effect card around the edge of the top of the box and punched it with an EK Success border punch, I used the same pink card for the scalloped die cut circles around the four sides. 

I used two of the larger flower stamps and centered them into the scalloped squares, I then added two of my beloved Tilda's and two greeting tags with twine threaded through. 

This box will be filled with Turkish Delight for my sister's birthday.

I would like to enter my box into the following challenges:
