Good morning! I don’t know what happened to me yesterday, but I had a great day in the studio and got some fab things done. I was on a roll yesterday altering one of my Goodwill finds. I might have paid $1.75 for this box.
I added some Graphic45 Fashionista paper and made one of my paper flowers to put on top.Â
I just received Heart Wings this past week and couldn’t resist using it for the inside. The wings were painted white and then coated with Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint. The layers of the heart are separated with foam mounting tape.
I added 4 black beads to the bottom for feet . . . and there you have it . . . from trash to treasurer, a keepsake box!Â

B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l, nice job! How you take a little something and make a WOW out of it just amazes me! I just haven’t unleashed that side of me yet! I’ve always been afraid it would be way out of control! Looks like out of control isn’t so bad!
Wow, Sherry what a pretty box, and a lovely surprise heart inside too. Treasure indeed!
Love it! It’s such a nice touch to put a sweet something inside the cover!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
Gorgeous Sherry! I really love how this came out.

You really did a fantastic job refinishing this box! I have a garage full of things you could put your finishing touch on — would you like to visit to help me? I am challenged with vintage finishing. Your flower is gorgeous.
Just beautiful! Great job as usual. Please tell us the size of the box. I think I have to have the Heart Wings Die now!
Great Job, Sherry! This turned out gorgeous!
Beautiful, your flower is fantastic!
Ok…when is yoda going to help this young padawon get over her fear of combining patterns?!! This turned out FANTASTIC (and I have you to blame for all the boxes I’m storing in hopes that that tip of your fingertip talent comes in the mail soon!!)
