39 boxes on the wall....

39 boxes on the wall.....one down... 38 more boxes on the wall....37 boxes on the wall... lalalala...

Yes... I'm doing alot of boxes.... this is madness... but I've done 6 full boxes which is infact 12 seems there is a top & bottom to the box. Lots & lots of paper folding..33 to go!!! Anyway... I was just taking a break from folding... and figured I would update my blog. It's sooo hard there are sooo many good blogs out there that it's distracting to keep focused....

Oh!! I will be trying to put something together for Kim's Colour Challenge.... so watch this space!!! Why don't you try it.... it's fun!!

Good night!

Boxes, Boxes Boxes... I'm going Box Crazy :}

I finally got my SU delivery in late yesterday :} I've only unpacked it so far... I haven't managed to get my 40 boxes done for the swap yet. But it should be easy once I get going... besides... I like working to deadlines :} it keeps me on my toes. heheh. I know, I know.. I've been going a little box crazy lately.... but it's so much fun. Plus I'm tweaking an idea I had for my WoW Swap which is next weekend!!! ek!!

Anyway... Last week I posted the original 3x3 box I made which was cut & scored from instructions...after making this sample I realised I couldn't fit a cute bellyband around it seems my paper would need to be more than 12x12...ek! So back to the drawing board I went and changed a few dimensions so the box was a smidgen bit smaller :} And Voila!!!
Below is a 2.5 x 2.5. I'm still not happy with it. One thing I did learn is that you can't use the textured cardstock seems it's not sturdy enough for these kind of paper torture ;}



So this box below was made using the Big Shot Die Cut Box XL... I 'played' with it when i made a visit to my friend's Studio. Love it...!!!!! I think this template is the next on my wish list. It would be great for wedding favours, baby showers, etc. Cute huh?


And finally... I also played with the new matchbox Die cut for the Big Shot. I used the new Walk in the Park DSPaper...isn't it lovely. I'll have to buy some choccies to decorate and place inside to show off it's true beauty/potential.


Ok... that's it for now... gotta go get the babe!! and sort thru my new shipment... Christmas is here!!

Sharing..

So someone recently shared this pretty magazine style card holder that you can make with me.... so I figured I would share it with you. It's an old blog link from a lady in the USA - Melinda Wharton. Enjoy!!!

I think I might make it sometime this week..

Creations...

Hey there,

So... I've been a little busy actually creating some stuff. I've decided that I work well/better when I have a deadline to meet. Otherwise I just slack off ;} Anyway... with Mothers Day & a WOW swap that I have offered to participate in...I've been busy creating creations. I haven't finalised on what I'm doing for the WOW swap yet....but I'm "playing" at the moment.

Here's a purse design that I found on the web.. I think it was from Scorepal's website... I don't have a scorepal... but I'm seriously considering it. I'm sure it would make these projects easier.


The second picture is my mothers days card for my mum.... Hopefully she likes it..


And lastly this photo is the page I completed at last weekends crop for the cure event. This layout was created by Linda.W. who has become a new found friend :}

Seems most of my scrapbooks are based on my travels. Anyway... since then I've ordered from them a few times & just loved getting the weekly newsletter from the owner Julie.

Busy weekend...

So... I'm very proud of myself for 2 things this weekend, firstly I went and did my first demo this past weekend for a fellow SU demonstrators fundraiser " Crop for the Cure". What a day!! How many scrapbookers can you fit in a room? I kept telling the ladies that no matter how much table space they give you it's never enough...plus you always briny way too much...just incase ;} Anyway.....I met some wonderful ladies all willing to guide me & most importantly help me enjoy my SU! experience. It seems I'm all about the pretty...and not worried about my costs...ek!! I suppose I'd better work on that. I was a little nervous....but I had a good turnout... I had 6 people sign up and take my little demo/class...seems it was a scrapbooking event I based my class on creating 2 pages using the Simply Scrappin Kit 'Best Ever'. I LOVE these kits seems they give you enough paper & loads of stickers to complete a event. I've always found I've never had enough accent stickers for my scrapbook pages :} That's just me though... People who know me...know I love glitter & stickers....and I suppose fancy papers comes in a close 3rd place. Anyhow... below is my pages... I based the theme on birthdays seems everyone has a birthday.....plus my little gal turned 1 a few months back so I wanted to start scrapbooking that....infact I've only done her first birthday....now I'm trying to work on my baby shower onwards.... heheeheh.. a little behind.

Secondly... I'm proud of myself for doing the KWerner's challenge last week. It seems it's created a little bit of traffic on my blog....even from my good ole homeland UK!!!... until then I know I only had one viewer (J) ;} Now I seem to have people popping by to see my creations...Hmm... now the pressure is on... it's quite exciting really. I know I cruise the entries aswell... Anyhow... Gotta go and get the babe... she's awoken from her beauty sleep...and if she's left too long she's not very beautiful ;} Awckkk!!! Schhhh!!! Nooooo... she is cute....eh? I'll post a new piccie soon ;}.
