A couple years ago my mom gave this puzzle to my sons. Then they outgrew it, and I was all ready to drop it into the garbage. Then I changed my mind. I didn't actually expect to like the finished results, it began as an experiment. The puzzle used to be bare wood, only the letters were painted. They were bright, primary colours. I wanted to see if I could change the whole look of it! I think it turned out kinda cute. Incase I decide to sell it at the coming bazaar, I made a matching gift tag.
I used die-cuts on the letters. I made a lamb for L...etc...

What a wonderfully creative (and green) idea!! Love the sentiment on the tag too.
Adorable project! What a great way to bring new life to an old toy! So cute, thanks for playing in the Tea Room!
This is so clever! Thanks for joining us in the Tea Room!
That's a great idea to sell it at the Bazaar am sure someone will buy it. Such a good idea to alter it like that, looks better than the original by a long way! Jill x

This is so great! and I love the tag!!
You clever girl! My children had a puzzle like that when they were young. Who would have thought it could have been turned into a sweet treasure like yours. The background color you chose certainly makes your letters and embellishments become the focal point. Great work!
What a clever idea! The embellishments sure brought new life to it! Thanks for joining us this week at TSTR! :)
Great idea!
I love all the animals and the tag
Thank you for joining our challenge at Stampin for the Weekend
