The boxes were bought from Hobbycraft, then covered in a PVA/water mix and then painted white and blue. Not sure what the papers we used were as they were all from our growing piles of patterned paper. I used weathered wood distress ink to add to the papers.
I am really pleased with how this turned out. I got inspiration for this from a box I saw at a garden centre which had 3 boxes for first tooth, first curl, hospital bracelet. It was very expensive so we decided to make our own.
Well this is my first 'Whats on your work desk wednesday' post. Here is my main work space, it was originally a computer desk but now home to my crafty stash (well some of it!!!) I also have 2 sets of plastic drawers and a wardrobe full of stash, oops! The project on my desk is now complete and on its way to its new home. 
This is the card I made for my boyfriends birthday. I bought us tickets to go and see stomp at the local theatre. It was amazing. To say that the image was just printed from the net and I kept the card very simple I was very pleased with how it turned out. I used my big shot to flatten a bottle top for the first time which was quite scary! Intend to do it again though as I was very pleased with the results.
The fantastic Pink Gem Designs have another fabulous blog candy up for grabs. It can be found on their blog. Don't forget that they have also recently set up their own monthly challenge blog aswell! I must say that I love their stamps!
This is a photo from Monday this week when my mum, her friend and I had a mini crop at our house. We all made mini books using coffee filters. I am waiting for some photos to use in mine then will post it when its finished. We had a great day, lots of chocolate eaten, cream buns and fun times had!
I am in the process of organising my stamp collection in the way some one suggested on UKS. You stamp te images on an A4 sheet then laminate it. When laminated the stamps cling to the back. Each sheet goes in to a plastic wallet and then a lever arch folder. Seems to work really well and they are so easy to find, much better than routing around in the bottom of a plastic storage box.
Happy Crafting!
I bought a white plain mask from then painted it with pink and silver acrylic paint, added flat back star gems and baby pink feathers.
After painting and doing the mask I didn't have much inspiration left for scrapbooking tonight so I decided to have a go at making some flowers from scraps of paper.
I got the instructions from a great blog, they were very easy and step by step. Click on the images to fink the link to the instructions on Helen's blog.
