I went in the kitchen and this cute coffee tin caught my eye all ready to hit the bin, now what can i say i just had to play with it and this beautifull monochrome paper seemed perfect, that and some gems and an old earing and some ribbon and wallah I kept it simple but i think its pretty cool hope you like :)

Ohhhh BTW Beth i'm back with my coffee now hun :) hehehehe

I Made somthing !!!!!

Well its been total madness here of late, what with working all hours and being too tired to do anything when i get home what can you say ....

Went Crazy Last night

Dont ask me what happened cos i didnt only make the Hybrid Storage box and money box I made this Altered Notebook too, which will be heading to my mum for her birthday later this month, I am having so much fun its untrue LOL

My Hybrid Project for today

I found this old wooden set of drawers in my daughters room unused and unloved and thought Ooooo i know just the thing for that, but as you can see it was a little tatty sooooooo i set to work with it ......

And this is what i ended up with, with my crafting spot being in my klitchen i choose a co ordinating colour painted the edges and covered it in paper, I used one of my favorite digi papers from the digi kit Spontanious Delight by Carrie Stephens and added little logo's on the drawers so i can see at a glance what is in each drawer, while i was there i also covered my change tin in the same paper i think they look pretty good hope yo like them :)

Question:- When you cover things in paper should you coat them in somthing so you can clean them or do you leave as is ?????

My Yukka and a Card

Good morning, i wandered outside this morning and to my amazment i found my Yukka had THREE flower stems, i bought the thing 12 years ago, it flowered in the first two years then nothing for five years, when a single one popped up, you cant belive how exited i was to see it sitting there waiting to flower, and then ..... my daughter who was 5 at the time knocked its head off playing, i could have cried :( and nothing since until this year and now i have THREE THREE i am sooo excited again i have everything crossed that they make it this time around lol, but i will keep you informed so keep your fingers crossed for me :)

Ok on to the card lol another one for my freind this is for her parents anniversary, and the theme set was floral, i found this beautiful image in my scrapbooking stash and just had to go with it, i chalked the background to make it less white, picked out some of the colours in the flowers and made some papers to suit, i mpounted the image on silver glitter card alongside the sentiment and added three white glass flowers from my stash.

Then i made two inserts for the inside again using the image.
