A Gorjuss Box!

Morning fellow crafters, I hope you have plenty of crafty time planned for this weekend. I'm in work today, I might take some stuff in & do a demo, can't decide what to take tho lol!!!

Day off tomorrow yay, so crafty day all day me thinks!

I am so lucky with my job, I get to see all the new crafty stuff before its put on the shelves & as soon as the new Gorjuss collection came in I knew I would end up with a few of the new stamps (I think i have 4 out of the 6 at the moment lol oops)

One of the girlies at work is an absolute darling, just love her to bits. So I thought when I was out a few weeks ago I would treat her & just say thank you, ya know just for being you! I got her a gorgeous scarf with pom poms on. Thankfully she loved it! Well I needed a box to put it in, perfect time to get out my Ultimate & play!!

It also fitted in with this weeks challenge theme over at My Time To Craft, which is....

BOX or BAG 

WITH A TAG TO MATCH!

I don't make many boxes this big, but next time I will use something a bit thicker I think. It all kinda went a bit flimsy when I give it to her, not that you would have noticed lol!

I added this scalloped edge to the side of the box, just to pretty it up a bit more

In The Jungle, The Mighty Jungle.....

Well, whats happened to this fabulous weather we are meant to be having? Yesterday was gorgeous, o made arrangements to help someone with their gardening today & yeah its yukky!! Fingers crossed it brightens up later, because it really need doing & I'm not sure when else I will get chance. I'm starting a new job next week....so scared lol I'm going from support worker (which I loved) to customer service/checkout at Homebase (big DIY store) it was a hard decision as I loved my support work, met some fabulous people, who I'm gonna stay in touch with. But when it comes down to working a few more hours or Nige having to work full time, I decided I would work more. Nige just couldn't take working full time. He is pooped after two 9 hour shifts so anymore after that & it would make him poorly again & that I just couldn't cope with knowing I could of helped xx

Anyhoos enough of that, I'm here to share my latest DT creation with you. 

This is for My Time To Craft, which is my challenge blog & thankfully something in my head must have said you need to make a birthday card for Nige soon, so I chose this theme lol

FOR THE MALES IN OUR LIVES

I generally steer well clear of male cards unless I have to, as Nige's birthday is near the end of May I needed to make him one. I remember when I got this stamp set free with my magazine he loved it....so here you go my card for my hubby for his 49th birthday xx
