♥: Because You're Sweet

Because You're Sweet

Hey there! I hope you are having a great Tuesday! It's sunny here so can't complain. :-) Thursday is Earth Day and I wanted to share a upcycled or repurposed item I made with you in honor of the celebration.
I know it's not a card, but I used Laura's sketch from 2S4y this week which I turned horizontally.

I recycled a granola box and covered it with gorgeous Webster's Pages papers. The Nature's Story line is beautiful with butterflies, birds, and fruits.Then I added a scallop border along with lace trim, a navy blue Bazzill bracket I hand cut and distressed with ink, a big satin bow and added the floral/bead pieces to embellish.

Well that's it for me this week. I will be back next week with something new to share and maybe a little bit of a tan after being outside for Jazz Fest this weekend. Take care!
