MMM - Week 26
Morning all - it's week 26 over on the Make My Monday challenge blog and this week we are making a
This is how it started
I stamped out all these leaves (from the French Foliage set) and coloured them with Stampin' Write Markers (Poppy Parade and Lucky Limeade). I then cut them out.
Had to take time out to do lunch and tea and then of course there was Strictly and X Factor so at 9.00 last night my box was still not completed!!!
Managed to do the outside - take a look
It's like this on all four sides - and the lid
As for the inside of the box - you will have to wait. I'm sorry I was going to finish it this morning but as I was waiting for Il Divo to appear on Lorraine, I realised that I really should be uploading it on to the challenge blog!!
Please hop over there to see all the other (perfectly on time), gorgeously decorated boxes created by my dt - I will go and finish my box and stand in the corner! - Jacqueline xx

Come out of the corner Jacqueline....your box is gorgeous, those pointsettas look as though they were a lot of work. I cannot wait to see the inside! Have a good week my friend!

Looking good so far and what a lot of leaves to stamp, colour and cut out! Will watch out for the next instalment
ReplyDeleteOh, this is gorgeous! I think you don't even need to do anything else to it!!! :) LOVE this idea from Valerie--and you keep making such gorgeous creations with it! :)
ReplyDeleteThis really is beautiful Jacqueline and the cutting out must have been a marathon but the end result looks fabulous.
