Candle Box

Well after making the other little box, I decided that if i changed a few of the measurements and used some acetate I could adapt it to make a box for my candle. Well I started at 3 o'clock and didn't realise how long I had been in my craft room, it was only when Hubby walked in at 5 that I realised the time.

Hence there being no dinner ready lol.

Oh well that's the downfall of having a craftaholic as a wife I suppose lol.

But on the plus side, I'm really pleased with the Box!!!

Hope you have all ahd a good day.

Little Gift Bag.

This is my first attempt at making the little gift bag that so many people have been posting on their blogs. I am quite pleased with the way it turned out and I am thinking of making some for Halloween. You can find a link to the tutorial for this bag on Kitty's Blog www.Kittyskrafty.blogspot.com . ( Sorry I am not that technical to add a link myself as I haven't got a clue how to do it!!). My advice is take a look and have a go, they are really easy to make.

This week's challenge is to use a button or buttons on your project! If you don't have any buttons you could try drawing one freehand, making one with chipboard etc! Don't cut 'em off your cardies though lol!!!!

This is my entry for this weeks Papertake Weekly Challenge. I don't usually get much time for challenges but due to all the rain have been in a lot lately!!!!
