Card Storage

Cut this the other day - wanted to make a card storage container, and decided the Stella box would probably fit the bill - this is one half of it, so could make another one too.

So much easier than the one I started to make a couple of weeks ago from scratch, from foam core, loads more measuring, and I took a slice out of my little finger too - dripped lots and it throbbed for quite a while after. Kept it bandaged for a few days to let the flappy bit adhere back onto my finger. Still hurts now if you press it.



Well got round to covering it today - went over all the edges/corners with gummed tape to hide the corrigated bit and give the edges a better finish. Then put some card on the base and back to cover the uneven bits of the box, and finally covered with papers.

I'm really pleased with this, just need to do the dividers now - I'll have a play tomorrow, and then I can fill with cards!

Blog Candy

Been looking at Love Louise's blog lately and here is some blog candy she is offering. I would put a pic in the sidebar if anyone can advise how to do it?

Stamp with us Launch Challenge

Just done the first launch challenge on Stamp with Us - it was such fun, only 45mins to come up with a design using the image and card and ribbon provided. I missed off the ribbon, and if I'd had a bit more time would have done a bit more with the sentiment, but hey ho I was rushing. And I just couldn't think what to do with the ribbon either.

Used some watercolour crayons for the first time too - kind of wished I'd experimented with them first, but just had to get on with it and they were great to use too. I'd be tempted to get more with a bigger colour range.

Passion for Papertrey Challenge

This is a card I have made for A Passion For Papertrey challenge - a card for a friend.

Raspberry fizz paper and ink, spring tags and mega messages stamps, all PTI, and stampin up ribbon (sadly not quite straight!).

Link to blog candy

Hopefully this link will work - should be a link to some blog candy here on Stephs blog Much a do about nothing.
Yay - just checked it and it does work.

Easter!

This is my oldest son, tucking into his egg.

and the cute pink one....

and the middle one - delighted to have received an egg, as he's intolerant to lactose. So he got a free from egg from Sainsburys, and the clone wars mug (big brother got the mug and egg that came with the mug).

And finally the little pink one again, posing for the camera, oblivious to the fact she has chocolate all around her mouth!

Stamp with Us Challenge

This is a birthday card I have made for the Stamp With Us birthday card challenge, I can just about squeeze it in for this week!


Card is SU choc chip and ruby red, doodle that stamp set - I love this set - and used the marker for colouring the flower. The cream ink is PTI, as is the sentiment.
