I was made aware recently that there is actually an Earth Day commemorated each year on April 22. So this year, to join in the celebration, I made a little project using old product packaging.

This box was used to contain chipboard shapes and it was a cute sized-box for some recipe cards I had been collecting at supermarkets. For altering the box, I also used bits of scraps from Noel Mignon’s Lovely Day kit.

And here is the final box…



Do remember to join us at Craft Critique on 22 April for Earth Day Carnival. Lots of fun, I promise!

Love the end result, have a wonderful week.
