Secret Garden Box
By Lena Astafeva
“I’ve made Secret Garden Box. I used Secret Garden - Deluxe Collector's Edition. I love this collection and book “Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This magic box I made as a gift to my friend. She is very fond of the book "The Secret Garden" and the collection of paper Graphic 45. She does have all the fabrics Secret Garden by Wilmington Prints. I used Staples - Mixed Media 5x5 Box-Kraft.” ~Lena

Any recipient would be thrilled to receive this lovely box, fantastic job Elena. I think I would have a hard time letting go of it if I had made it, haha.I'm currently working on a 3 foot X 4 foot mixed media photo collage using the Sun Kissed Collection for my mom for Mothers Day. So excited to see the final results.
