Sketch challenge time! Spring is coming....

Hi all

It's time to bring you my offering for this week's challenge again!

Challenge #111 Sketch challenge

It's really simple but it scared me a bit, I'm not too proud to admit that despite my approx 15 years of paper crafting experience! It's not that it's technically difficult, just out of my comfort zone.

This is my interpretation, made from a 5x5" card base.

I've added some elements but it's a great sketch if you're just starting out and have a limited amount of crafting stash.

Mini Milk Carton with instructions

Hi all

I made some mini milk cartons for a Stampin' Up! event I attended on Thursday. It's always fun to meet other demonstrators and swap ideas.

I've prepared a quick tutorial for those that I swapped with and the lovely ladies who requested it on my Facebook page.

Credit goes to Jose from Treasure your memories for giving me one of these cute cartons at the European convention in Brussels and I knew I had to make some myself.

I used the following items on my swaps:
