Good Morning Ladies,

Welcome to another Mixed Up Saturday, we have a few very different crafts today starting with Danielle's Pizza box, made with those gorgeous Pinks & Peaches Decorative paper from Crafters Companion, although it is no longer available. 

Danielle was kind enough to write a quick Tutorial for this box so I have included it below....

Glue the Lid together first

Glue the last flap and fold in for a reinforced base.

The finished box, ready to decorate!

Thank you so much for allowing me to share your little Tutorial Danielle, I am definitely going to make one of these boxes, following your simple instructions. XXX

Karen

Karen has finished another two of her Kerry Lord Animals, Karen that book was worth every penny as you have made some incredible creatures from it.  

Meet Bradlee the Squirrel and Sophie the Flamingo,  look at that Squirrels tail it so cute and I love how his belly is a little podgy at the bottom.  

Then look at Sophie's knees, and Beak, both so realistic looking.  

Karen I honestly think that you could be selling these, they would fly out as soon as you made them, you have a real eye for getting their expressions spot on.

Thank you so much for sharing them with us xxx

Michele Mag Review

Hi Ladies,

No regular magazines to review this week, so here's a ''One Off Special''

I was tempted by this Craftwork Cards 'Papercraft Collection' Boxed magazine which has some lovely gifts with it.

Here's just some of the ideas that you could try

These are just a few of the beautiful papers that are excellent quality.

These are the Stamps, Dies and Stencil that you get with the magazine.

There’s lots more inspiration inside the magazine but I don’t think you’d struggle as there’s lots of options including Off the Page projects plus cards for men!

Happy Crafting 
Michele 

Thanks Michele, another fab review, i waa surprised at the amount of good quality products you get jn these boxed magazines.   This you you have picked looks fantastic. XXX

 Janet

Janet has made a beautiful Upcycles Cabinet for her sewing bits and pieces, I will add Janet's description below...

"The small display cabinet was a Christmas Gift filled with small jars of Jam.

I decided to upstyle it and have used the theme 'Sewing and Flowers'. The paper backing for the  shelves are from the La Blanche Decoupage set I used on one of my Challenge Cards this week. The contents are all objects I have collected at some time or another. The outside is decorated with paper flowers; the metal dress was a table name tag (I have just taken the spiked bottom off it) and decorated it with a string of pearls and flowers. The Flower Pot is  resin flat backed and again decorated with paper flowers."

Such a lovely project Janet, I absolutely love that little cabinet you have upcycled and it's a really useful project too.  Did you leave it in Marigny? 

Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us xxx

I love it when we get to see so many different crafts on show, it's really inspiring to see what you all create other than cards.   You are all so incredibly talented in so many different ways.  Please keep sharing all of your crafty makes my lovelies. 

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend, we had a good start yesterday, the Sun shone all day, it was a little chilly but lovely and sunny and the lambs were outside for the whole day, they are awkward animals though, we have purposely not mown the lawn because sheep love to eat grass, oh no not our lambs, the have eaten my lily plants, the golden rod plants will not need trimming down this year, they love lavender, rosemary and chives, they haven't tried mint yet though, maybe its too strong. Yesterday they were stretching up to eat the Hazelnut tree leaves, while standing in ankle deep Grass. 

Matt has the rest of the Mum's and babies at the barn down the road on the farm, a lady decided to go into the field that they were in as a shortcut to her horse, she must have knocked the electric fence and it switched off, so when Matt went to feed them later on they were all out, they had taken themselves into a neighbouring farmers field and were busy eating his crop, you can just imagine the phone call!  Paul ended up being a sheep wrangler for an hour or so, they did eventually cooperate and were safely back behind the fence!  Oh for a quiet life!!!

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
