Katie's Pen Pot!!

This week over at CES Challenge we want you to

RECYCLE

the winner will recieve a £10 voucher to spend in store (P&P not included)

My baby girl has decided to take art at school (gcse) so she has been playing the last few weeks with different ways to colour & she has fell in love with my Promarkers!! Well we kinda thought maybe get her some for Christmas & then as her birthday is in Feb she could have some more!! But we both kinda think they are a bit expensive just to colour for the sake of it!! So I remembered Spectrum Noirs (SP?) so we are getting her some (shhhhhh dont tell her but, I've already ordered her the first set of 24) Well I thought she could do with a special pot to put them in, well until it gets full anyhoos, then she can put her pencils into it!!

This started life as a Hello Kitty tissue box (some what dented!) 

I am gonna apologise now for the photo overload!! lol!!

Peter Rabbit!

This card has been made because whilst I was talking on the phone to Hazel (didos) about stuff we buy & don't use!! Yes I'm sure we are all guilty of that with this hobby!!! lol.....I went to the NEC last March & got the set of Crafter's Companion Peter Rabbit stamps & since then I have only used them once!!! Well my gorgeous hubby overheard our conversation (must remember to talk about crafty stuff when he's at work!!) & told me no more stash until I start using what I've got!!! Well I can't really complain as I don't work or claim a penny, so all my stash is paid for by him!!!! So when he gets home this cute little card will be put somewhere so he can see it!!! I just hope using this one stamp changes his mind, because I really want the new Gorjuss Girl stamps, well at least a couple of them!!!

Also some fab news I found out today my Sick Henry card that was ment to be C&S, has made me a winner over at Tuesday Trio
