No card this week... something else

Happy Tuesday everyone,
Firstly I need to welcome some more new friends. So happy to have you come and join my little family here and I do hope you will find something to inspire you.

This week at The Outlawz colour challenge we are asking you to make anything, but NOT a card. I know this is not everyone's cup of tea, but I do enjoy playing around with something other than cards from time to time...as long as it involves paper.

Laurian has challenged us this week and given us this gorgeous palette to work with.

Our sponsor for the last time this month is Lunagirl

We would love you to came and see the lovely creations that the DT have made for your inspiration.


I found this little 'stay closed box' during one of my searches on the web, and it is really so easy to do. These are the 2 links, one is inches and the other in cms.  I like that it stays closed and you open it by squeezing in the sides.

Here is my version of this box and what I used.


Cardstock - grey/green. Patterned paper - very old Papermania paper with a lovely linen finish

Images are precoloured from Lunagirl, cut out with a Joycrafts/Noor design die.

The frame is cut with the same die and coloured with PanPastels.

On the one side added a bow and on the other side a sentiment.

Finished off with pearls.

A little gift box

Hello friends,
Thursday already, so the weekend is truly in sight.  Today I have a box to show. It was made for the Duo challenge with a free template. If you apply for the template you need to do the challenge, so I have just sneeked mine in. Wanted to take some more angles of the box, but the battery on the camera  died, so will have to make do with just this one.

Paper ......Bazzil cardstock and the DP from Wilson & McClaughlin. On the top are 2 die cuts from Nellie Snellen MFD, they are not too visible and the roses I made with punches. Love making these.
 Not much more to say about it really, It was simple to put together.
Should be back on the weekend with something more to show, but the weather here is just glorious at the moment....just really need some rain....maybe on Saturday...so spending some time tending to the garden and a little matter of a big tournament in New Zealand where our boys are playing tomorrow.
Wishing you a good day for the end of the week and a wonderful weekend. Have fun.
