Phoenix Inspirations

For a change from making cards I decided to have a go a making this cute little tissue box holder The band around the middle moves across to where you pull out your tissues And when they are all gone - open up the flap at the side and refill it ...... simples This is a fab little make and if you would like to make one too pop over to Vicky's blog 'cos she has done an easy to follow tutorial with pictures and everything. Thank you Vicky - I'm going to make a few more of these especially as everyone I know at the moment is suffering from summer colds and hay fever!! Atishoo - oops bye for now - Jacqueline xx.

I am doing a huge craft fair this summer (see side bar for details) and as it is a two day affair I thought I had better start to get a few things ready. In addition to my hand made cards I will also have note books, post it note holders and bookmarks etc - and these Well this to be more precise! I will make more. This is a tissue box holder - made with some large sheets of card that I have in my stash drawer and using some Martha Stewart paper punches. unfortunately these are not mine but merely borrowed I will have to give them back :( ! I have also used the Vintage Vogue stamp set and Regal Rose, Rose Red and Old Olive inks. I used a couple of cute little Paperartsy flower dies to do the hole in the top That's all for today - see you soon - Jacqueline xx.
