I must say this one is my favorite!!! I wouldn't even notice I got chocolates if I received this gorgeous box!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Your plain ole' box has been turned into a beautiful creation. I love what you did with it and would store beautiful embellishments and keep it sitting out for my inspiration.
It looks very authentic. You'd never guess it had CD's in it once!

Beautiful and charming box!
Absolutely fabulous project! Thank you for sharing it.
Love that stamp.
It worked so well on the tin.
I have some small wood pieces that would
look great with that stamp.
thanks for sharing.
I adore this tin Asia! It looks so very vintage! You did a fabulous job!
This is fabulous! Throw some chocolates in one and send it to me, would you!!! : )

Wow! A very cool project! Love it!
So lovely!
Bookmarked this one as I have lots of tins that need a makeover and yours is a wonderful example of what I want mine to be.
I would never have guessed that to be a tin, this could easily pass as vintage, I have quite a collection of tins I could do this with, love all things vintage.
This is fabulous! I never thought about decorating tins in this way. Thanks for the inspiration!
Really have to try this as I have never used some of these products. Thanks
Wow, you are so talented, this looks like some kind of treasure I'd find in an expensive chocolate shop in Paris!
What a delicious project Joanna! I love this idea and you executed it so well. I think I have a CD tin lying around and now I know what to do with it. Thanks for the amazing inspiration!! xx
