Recipe Holder

I came across this lovely recipe holder by "Laura' The Paper Trail'.
It is lovely to make and her instructions are very good. My photography as usual is terrible - the inside has little holders with cards inside so you can write recipes (or put photos on) or it could even be used as an address list etc.  I may add some more decoration to it.

You know you are tired when you find that the new double sided tape that you are using does not stick - only to discover (after getting very frustrated) that you have not taken the backing paper off it!!!!!!! ha ha.

House shaped book


I made this book in the shape of a house. Front of house is pic 1.  My photography is terrible and I am not sure how to get these pics in a row instead of up and down like this. But here are some of the pages anyway.






My new Craft Cupboard

 I rescued this cupboard from a friend who was about to put it in the rubbish as it had a little damage to it.
I took out 3 of the drawers and added shelves for my 12x12 papers. I need to add some shelves to the inside of the cupboard yet, but all in good time.








On the front I covered a small board with blackboard vinyl so I can write up things I run out of, added some little critters from 'create a critter' cartridge, added a container for the chalk (bottom of a milk carton), and a cloth for cleaning blackboard.
the drawers I have used for my cutting and embossing folders.
