Easter project

The other day while grocery shopping I found this beautiful big Easteregg. Unfortunately it was packed in the standard big ugly plasic box. Then I had this idea that I could alter the box...
I cut away the front and covered it all with Graphics 45 Once Upon A Springtime paper. I have a set of matching stamps (Hero Arts if my memory serves me correctly). The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Below are photos of the front, back and sides with and without egg in it. Good old girly crafting fun....

    I wouldn't want to give that box away, they can just have the egg! I must have taken an age. I think it's just fantastic.
    By the way, if you nip over to my blog and look at my Butterfly Girl, you'll see I have used one of your beautiful backgrounds.
    Thank you so much Astrid. xx
