Last week I did a class at our local Church Craft Day called Link n Learn. This is the box I made and everyone did the same box using the same pack of designer papers, they were all slightly different colours but all matching, they looked wonderful all together. I hope you enjoy it too.

This card is cased from a swap I received at convention. The Lovely as a Tree one is the actual case and I have then used the same idea with the Upsy Daisy one in front…..I intend to put a butterfly and maybe add some ribbon to finish it off….so keep watching for the finished upgrade of this one. But it is a simple card and great for a man.
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree and Upsy Daisy
Colours used: Baja Breeze and suede

These flowers were fiddly to make……but worth it. If you would like to learn to make them, maybe we could have a workshop on them…..just email me if you would like to have one and I will organise it. I think it would work really well on top of a little box too.

Here is a card using the Seeet Slumber Paper that was on special last week. The train is the Choo Choo Train stamp set from the last mini…..I wonder if it will be in the new catalogue in September or not? The card is not quite finished as I need to stamp Happy Birthday at the bottom right side of the card…..but you can use your imagination and pretend that it is there…..because I took the photo before I stamped it and I am being lazy.
