Excellent service!!

Just thought I'd stop by to let you know about the fantastic service I've received from the Glitter Monster Crafts. I ordered a corner rounder punch yesterday afternoon and received it this morning.  I have no connection to the company and this was my first order from them. I will definately be using them again though as I have also received a voucher for 10% off my next order. Now that's what I call service and I think we should always show our appreciation for good service.

I shall be making good use of this large corner rounder as the stationery design chosen for my son's Wedding next year involves a lot of big round corners and I didn't fancy drawing round a tape spool and then cutting by hand. No, no, no!

Off to watch a bit of tennis now.

Phew, it's all go!

Good day bloggers, hope the weather is OK for you. It's not too bad here at the moment at least it's stopped raining. It's nowhere near as hot as yesterday which is a bit of a relief.

I'm a bit behind getting this post up as my daughter moved house yesterday and it was a bit hectic to say the least. I spent most of the day helping out, well I say helping, I felt a bit of a spare part most of the time. I felt so sorry for the poor removal men humping stuff about in the hot weather. Anyway they are in the new house just have to get it how they would like it. Justine loves decorating and interior design so she'll be happy.

Now on to today new challenge at Try it on Tuesday.

This week it's ALTER something and we'd like you to alter a BOX. It can be any sort of box and we have a varied selection by the Design Team to help get your juices flowing. Don't forget we are sponsored this week by The Craft Barn who have a great selection of goodies perfect for the challenge. As always they are offering a £15 voucher so if you join us don't forget to give them a mention to be in with a chance of winning.

Here's mine

I chose to alter a chocolate box.

I was well into altering it when I realised I hadn't taken a before picture so I took a picture of the still to be covered base of the base.

I cut the side borders using an MS punch and coloured it with the Big & Juicy Spice pad using a dusting brush then stamped the leaves using an Adirondack pad. I covered the lid with Core'dinations brown card and added a doiley, coloured using the same B&J pad. I stamped some flowers and coloured them again with the same pad then spritzed with pearl Glimmer Mist.

Well better dash as lots to do again today. Do hope you'll join us for the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments.

Hugs,

Bits & Bobs

Well I do hope the weather picks up over the weekend because I'm fed up of waiting for the summer to arrive. It's been a miserable old day here today. Good thing Jayne Nestorenko was on Create and Craft with her fabulous new collection of Adorables so that cheered me up no end.  I just love Jayne's work and she is such a wonderful person.

In between watching Jayne and getting the ironing done I decided to create a little something for the Make my Monday challenge. This week the challenge is to create a tag and include a flower.

I raided my bits box to create this tag. Well I've vowed to use up all the bits and bobs that I keep stashing away. Even the piece of ribbon was an odd bit in my ribbon drawer. The only things not from my bits and bobs are the Beddazles but then again they are bits aren't they?

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you all have a great weekend. A sunny one we hope!

Hugs,
