Wow!

Hello again...

Just catching up on my blogging from the weekend... Wow! what a crazy weekend. I was up till the wee hours on Friday finishing off my 40 boxes for the Wow Swap on the Saturday. I finally made it to bed at 2.30am... thanks to my hubby, Shannon & Jen for their help!! I couldn't of done it without you :). Then I spent the whole day at the Stampin Girls convention in Ottawa getting overwhelmed by all the great demonstrations/techniques I wanna learn..so much to learn so little time to play. Hopefully I'll be able to play soon.. once I get up and running and then I'll be posting classes & workshops events. Mainly aimed at Christmas & Birthdays seems there my favourite holidays/events.

Anyway... attached is my final pics of the boxes... don't they look pretty?? wanna learn how to make one? Contact me for more info!!!



Boxed out!!

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!
Cheers

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!!

My box of delights ;}

So here's my little box of delights that I've been working on... I found out how to make these on KWerners Site... The funny thing is ... I had been working on another box for ages....and then this one came to the rescue. I thinking of using it for my WOW Swap at the end of the month... different DSP's & colours. Hmm... Now I just need to churn out another 39boxes !!!!





Before this one.. I created this one... Pretty...but a pain to make.
