box card - first online project for me

 I have just joined crafters anonymous and this was my first project done online.

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.

boxes

 these are 6 little boxes that I made.
Mariposa paper cut on cuttlebug.

countdown supermarket

my daughter wanted me to make a 'countdown supermarket' as she works at one. I made a box to begin with and cut out the long windows and the doors in the front. sponged the 'door frames' with Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink and put a small brad for door handles. Inside in the back I glued pictures from their advertising of the 'fruit and veg' department, the butchery and bakery departments. Cut 2 ladies from the Pink cartridge and coloured them with Stampin up pens. Put them on with dimensionals so they looked like they were 'chatting' at the fruit and veg department. Used precut lettering for the 'countdown on the top. added their logo from their advertising flyer. Used florist wire to make the 'trolley bay' and made two trolleys from the basket on Tags Bags Boxes and More 2 cartridge. Put the handles to the side and added circles for wheels (they really do mean 'more' on that cartridge lol) flowers in the garden were from my stash. the traffic lanes are white ribbon and I cut the ENTRY from cricut basics. Stood the box on a black piece of card so that the card become the carpark. After taking the photos I cut 2 pieces of cardstock so that they formed a straight piece with a square on the top. I bent the narrower bottom of the piece of card and glued it to the garden and popped a flower on the piece that I had glued. These then formed the two poles that have advertising on them. It looked really good in the end and I am quite pleased with the end result. Just a shame that my photography is not so good.
