Little Box

Bad blogger again!  I just don't know where the time goes these days.  

It's my aunt's birthday next week and when we were visiting an antiques centre recently she spied a little brooch she liked.  Luckily my cousin was with us and she distracted my aunt and I was able to buy it for her.  I made and decorated this little box for the brooch to go in.  The box is great as there's no glue needed and very little cutting - just so easy!  Hope you like it.  Hugs x

Wishy Washy Day

I haven't been around for the last few days cos I've been in bed feeling sorry for myself.  My sinuses have been so blocked they felt as though they were going to explode but thankfully today I've got the sneezes and am beginning to feel a tad better.  I had this card almost ready so I finished it off this afternoon.

Oooooops, I got a very nice ticking off from Mandi at Less is More - and rightly so!  I wish I'd read what's on the page and not what I think it should be then I'd get things correct!  The challenge was not only to use a Sentiment but also it was to be One Layer only.  When I read the comment I popped back to the craft room and did a card that goes by the rules!
