Daffodils

Morning Folks! 
A quick post from me this morning to let you know the new challenge at CRAFT this week is:
EASTER / SPRING 
I've used this lovely daffodil image from The stamping Boutique who were kind enough to sponsor our Star of the Month spot last month.

The Stamping Boutique
The papers are by K&Co which I have had absolutely ages but finally managed to cut into!! 

 I've also decorated the inside too because the kraft colour looked a bit dull!


Thanks for looking in today and please try to join us at CRAFT, we have 4 fab prizes on offer for this challenge to tempt you!!

Altered tin

Morning Folks!
Now I hope Mr Blogger is going to behave himself because this is a scheduled post. We are moving house tomorrow so there are quite a few things to be done today!!!
It is also time for our new challenge over at Here Come the Boys, I can't believe we are up to our 24th challenge already. This time we would like to see your 

Anything but a card projects

I decided to do something that I've been meaning to get around to for ages - an altered Altoid mint tin.

I used some Graphic 45 paper that I have been hoarding, a few paper scraps, distress inks and 3 layers of varnish and finished it off with some burgundy ribbon.
Thanks for popping by today, hope you can join us at HCTB and wish me luck with the final packing!! Not sure how long I can last with my craft stuff in boxes......
