Here is one of the first boxes I ever made. Often when I go back to original things I have made from when I first started off I cringe at how bad they are, but this one I like. Pity the same can not be said about my first couple of albums filled of tragic scrapbook LO's - :-)

Congratulations

Back to school today for Zach. It is a relief because by the second week of school holidays Zach & Luke had, had enough of each other and were fighting all the time. Zach was very keen this morning to go to school.






Zach's teacher recently got engaged so I made her this Congratulations Box. I am really happy with how it has turned out. On the underside of the lid Zach has drawn a picture of his teacher and her fiance holding hands and showing off the ring - drawing done in silver so has not come up very clearly in the photo.

Love Box.

Had a great time at the Melbourne Comedy Festival this weekend. We saw Greg Fleet and he was great. Very funny man. As the kids were staying at Nanny and Grandad's place we decided to make a night of it and stayed in the city at the Medina hotel. It was just so good to go out and have some kid free time. Will definately be doing the same next year.

Today I thought I would show you this Love Box that I previously made for the RWPC Blog. I gave this to my husband for Valentines Day. After he had eaten the chocolates it revealed a secret message. Hope you like. Below you will find the dimensions on how to make this. Just click on the image to enlarge. The Cardstock is Bazzill. Chippies are RW Laser Cuts. Can not remember who the P.P was from.

Keepsake Holder

Hello All,

Looking forward to this weekend. We are going the Melbourne Comedy Festival. So looking forward to some good laughs.

Today I have made a Keepsake Holder. I am going to give it to my little friend Alannah to keep her little girl treasures in there. Reasonably quick and easy to make. I will post the dimensions and how to's in the next week or so.

Happy Easter

Hello Everyone,
Hope you are all enjoying the Easter break. I have scored myself another bout of tonsilitis (think this is my 4th episode in 2 months - getting a little bit over it). I have been relaxing to try and get over this latest bout.

I have been creating heaps but can not show you guys as yet. I am doing some box designs for a craft company so as yet not sure if I can show them. But soon I will make something that I can show to you all and give you the dimensions.

Hope all is well.
Happy Crafting.
Cheers Lyndall

I'm Back

I am feeling better and back in the crafting mood.


I was flipping through the Stampin Up catalogue today and came across a triangular shaped lollie holder thingy. I really liked the idea so have made my version of it. Yeah I know you are going to ask why I did a Christmas theme in April. Well the answer is simple...I only had Christmas themed celophane bags. Going to have to order me some plain ones I think:-). This project can easily be adapted to Easter bags etc.



Stuff I used.
Stampin Up Card Stock
SU Scallop Punch
Nestibilities - plain & scallop ovals
Paper Trey Ink Stamps
White Ribbon.
Celophane Bag
Choccies
Double Sided Tape.
