Hi folks, some free time - but before I get crafty and catch up on DT commitments, I thought I would show you these.
A couple of months ago I saw these reduced in my local Sainsbury's and thought great for altering.
Of course DD saw them, and she would like some, so popped back and they had a few more in stock,and a couple of other designs, so as you do, I had to buy some of them!
Time has been very short for crafting, but these boxes were ideal to do in stages, so set to and painted all the edges, a couple of days later, cut and stuck the paper, cut linings and stamped with a Stampendous stamp, which over a couple of days were water coloured and stuck in. Managed to get a couple of photos before they disappeared to daughters.
The papers are Maja Vintage Autumn that I bought in March at GNP Harrogate, and the drawers only too one sheet of 12 x 12", the roses were made from the scraps (reverse side of paper). Only got a couple of sheets, so have since bought more online as DIL would like some too.
Bit of a cloudy day today, but hopefully it will pick up over the weekend as we are off to Northumberland for a friends Birthday, but whatever you do, enjoy.
