HAPPY 4th JULY




Well what a last few days I have had healthwise :( Anyway surfice to say that I am not climbing the walls in pain any more, so I guess the tablets I am now on must have started working.
HAPPY 4th of JULY to those of you who celebrate it, I should have been going to a party tonight to help one of my Brownies mum celebrate it, but unfortunately my daughter is double booked as she is playing in a concert tonight. I am still not certain if I am going to go depends how well my tablets work this evening after I have had something to eat.

I have today made a stationery box using MCS (My Craft Studio) in case you were wondering. I am pleasently suprised at how sturdy it has come out. I used 160gsm paper, for both the box and the cards, and only 80gsm for the inserts, envelopes and liner. I do however need to get onto the helpline as the insert has a funny line on them and unless I am missing something obvious then it has to be a fault on the image :( Well the box I have decided is going to go to the Summer Fayre later in the month for either the tombola or raffle, wherever they want to put it. I am going to make sure that my name is on it all..... LOL you never know!!!!!!

I also managed to track down a brilliant and sooo easy tutorial for making a neverending card, I have never tried one before so followed the video and it worked!!!! YEAHHHHH so pleased with it, just need to decorate it now well the 2nd one I have made that is, I am keeping the first one as an instruction card in my folder lol.







I hope those of you haven't tried a neverending card before will check out the easy video and have a go, please let me know if you mange to have a go.
