I'm back with lots to show!

Sorry guys - I went AWOL there for a bit! I've had a very busy weekend - the low point being having to take my poor little man to the hospital for stitches after he fell over on the kitchen tiles and banged his head. :( He was very brave though, and now has 4 stitches and a bravery award from the doctor! LOL! He's doing really well, and has been jumping around the house giving me a heart attack all day! LOL!!

Anyhoo, it's time to see some more entries!

First up we have this lovely little gift satchel from Danielle Sheehan:



From Danielle:

"I stamped onto vellum using my Basic Grey paisley stamp set with white Stazon ink. I used scraps to make the box template, tag, flower and strip at the top and used the "thankyou" sentiment from the Darkroom Door Full Bloom collection for my tag also".



Great work Danielle!

Next we have this ultra-cool sewing kit box by Tania Davey:




Tania was inspired by those cute little sewing kits you get sometimes when you stay in a hotel - so she traced around one of the boxes whilst on holiday, then came home and created her own!



From Tania:

"I stamped the girl (Stampotique) and the Words (Making memories) then stamped again and cut them out to use as a mask. Then I stamped again with my huge text stamp, then inked the edges".



Awesome idea Tania!

Last but not least we have a gorgeous little pizza box from 10 year old Natasha Rumble:



From Natasha:

"I used pink bazzill as my base then I used some stripy paper for the top. Then I made the flowers with a martha stewart punchs then i coloured them with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I coloured in a "Whiff of Joy" stamp with distress inks. Next I put a charm on some chain".

Lovely work Natasha!

If you're looking to part with some of your hard earned cash, then pop on over to The Stamping Queen as they are having a store-wide 2nd Birthday sale! Sale is on now until Tuesday 27th October, so you'd better hurry! They're also doing giveaways during the sale over on the new blog, so check it out here.

I'll be back tomorrow with another gorgeous box that I found whilst blog surfing! :) And there is another tutorial on the way too which you won't want to miss!

Stay inky!
