For quite some time I have asked my husband to create a wooden frame box that I could create art in. Something that a fabric collage could be placed inside or other types of art. Hubby finally got around to it over the weekend and created a few.

I love how they turned out! The box is versatile to be displayed or hung on the wall with a bracket on the back. Using the first box, I painted it a creamy white and added lace trim to the sides of the box.

I created a fabric collage using the inside dimensions (8 x 10 inches) and added an antique doily and small rhinestone. I call this piece “Sweet Harmony” because the innocence of the little girls in the collage piece.

    Sweet Harmony is very appropriately named. Great ideas executed from a great team. Creative Hearts are Happy Hearts and all the better when they are shared by two…
