Yet another box!

WARNING: Lots of photo's!
Three posts in one day - that must be some kind of a record for me! LOL What can I say, I am feeling so much better and I am on a roll, why stop now? I am really getting into this whole box thing, its addictive. I find myself looking at the most random thins and thinking, hmmm... could I make a box for that? This one is a gift for a friend. It was her birthday last week and she absolutely loves giving cards, so I thought this would be the perfect gift.
I have had this idea in my head ever since I first saw this image by Mo, I wanted to make a box and make it l;ook like he was actually inside the box. Not sure of the outcome, what do you think?
Here is a picture I took of the box and all the cards that are going into it.

You have seen this angel before. I even used the same Basic Grey dp, but it is a lot smaller than the original card I made. Thats why I love digi stamps, you can resize them to fit your card and you don't have to resize your card to fit the image. All cardstock is Bazzil and all images are coloured with my Copic markers. The ribbon is from my stash. All images were cut out with Nesties.

The next image is also by Mo. I love her in the red coat don't you? The dp is from Making Memories. The fur in the stocking has some polar white Flowersoft on it and her headband was glitterified.

The next image is the same one as the one on the box lid. Papers by Making Memories. The fur on the hat has Polar White Flowersoft.

Another one of Mo's adorable angels. The trim on her dress and her wings were glitterified with Stickles. The dp is from Basic Grey.

Lastly there is this Christmas Fairy. Love her! The paper is by Bo Bunny and her wings got a liberal Stickle treatment for shine. Did you notice that I made matching envelopes for each card? I hope my friend likes her gift.

Thats me for today - I think - its only 2 o'clock and a lot can happen during the rest of the day.

See you all soon.

Bad day.

OK, so I don't normally complain or whine about things, but I wish the devil would find another house to visit sometimes! First my helper has the flue, which means that I have to clean the house myself (I know, I know millions of women the world over does it every day of their lives - so I am spoilt) and I had a scrapbooking class for 5 girls ranging in ages from 6 to 13 this morning.I LOVE having them - they are so creative and willing to try anything I throw at them, but they are very demanding and I don't get to sit doen or slow down when they are here. A class that should take 2 hrs normally ends up taking 4-5 hrs.
Before they even got here my DD phoned in a state. Somebody had driven into the back of her brand new car! DH is furious! Claiming that its all her fault and that she did it on purpose just to annoy him and cost him money that he doesn't have. I understand his frustrations ( Seeing that I run the finances in the house, I know only too well that we can't afford the cost of fixing a car right now). Me being the mom means that I am stuck between DH's fury and DD hurt. Not a good place to be, let me tell you.
BUT....... I also know that God has never ever before let us down and that He is not about to start, so, tomorrow I will feel better and laugh about all of this. I will propably be singing while cleaning the house and the insurance will pay, thats why we pay them a fortune each month.
See, I feel better already, all whined out.
I don't think I ever posted this card. I finished it before I got sick and forgot all about it. It is another one of Mo's images that I absolutely adore. She reminds me so much of my granddaughter Hannah. Hannah is such an animal lover and animals seem to respond to her, she has a wild lizard that comes out to greet her when she comes home from school and I have never seen any animal not falling under her spell.

The image was coloured with my Copics, cut out with a Nestie and mounted on foam squares. The Cardstock is Bazzil and the dp is Basic Grey. Other than that there is only a bit of ribbon from my stash.

Here's a close up of the image, hope you can see the glitter on her wings.

Have a lovely day everybody, I'll be back soon with more cards.

I've been busy.

As you all know, I have been teaching paper crafting to the girls at school. On Monday, after the first day, I discovered to my horror that I had not ordered enough double sided tape for the rest of the classes. It was too late to do anything about it, so on Tuesday morning I went looking for the girl that I always order from. Murphy's law - she was absent from school! The secretary phoned her mom and asked her if it would be possible to deliver some to school asap. ( Very cheeky, I know!) Mrs. Stacey was fantastic and I had enough double dided tape within an hour! Even though we are paying for it, I wanted to thank her personally for saving my life. No better thank you than chocolate! So, thats what I did, bought some chocolate and made a slipcover for it. I think it came out pretty well. Papers were from my left over box. Stamps bought at the local stationer and ribbon from my stash. The image was coloured with Copics.
