It started with a wooden box

My sister is turning 40 on Thursday - yes April 1st, she's suffered from this every since I learned about the April Fool's tradition ;) and that is many, many years back
So, I found this wooden box and wanted to make something out of it. Things got out of hand...


I made the box into a flower pot,

I made a bottle tag cause I picked up a pink and gold wine bottle cause I thought it was pretty (might taste like crap, I don't know),

I made a basket for chocolate (it's nice with chocolate to wine... or beer... or milk...)

and a card to go along with it.

But even though the wine might be horrid, the chocolate will make you chubby and the flowers will wither it's still a pretty ensemble :)


I will enter this in:

Creative Card Crew - vintage

Cute Card Thursday - dimensions

Charizma cards - spring

Cupcake craft - spring or Easter + chocolate

Papertake Weekly - open theme

Roses on Paper - punch it

Saturday spotlight - coffee (aimed for the colour)

Magnolia down under - stitching

Spoon full of sugar - shaped card (the bottle tag or basket)

Kaboodle - shaped card

Simon says - it's so distressing
