Nostalgia upcycled

I have had this old chocolate box for a couple of years now.   Originally it was cardboard cover with tartan paper.  I have used scrap paper and a scallop circle punch to make the scalloped flowers.  The centre flower is using my new EK border punch. 

Here are a couple of items that I have made for the up and coming School Gala.  The Big Shot and Stampin up Butterfly die are perfect for pieces like these.  Wall hanging:    Butterfly brooches and clips:     

It is not very often that I actually scrap photos of Gregor and myself and this is mainly due to the fact that I am usually the one behind the camera so most of my photos are of my boys. I cut half the label template out on double side patterned paper and then folded it to reveal the back pattern.  I cut around the flowers and tucked the folded section underneath to hold in place.    The flowers are made using my big shot and a sizzix 3d flower die, which is fantastic.
