Yes I do own other stamps!!!!

Hello all I hope your week is going well.  Mine is so far, the kiddiewinkles went back to school today after half term so I've had a chance to catch up a little on the dreaded housework so all being well I can have a crafty day tomorrow, yeh!!

Well I've just popped on to show you something I've been working on for the last two days.  Now you may want to grab yourself a cuppa as there are quite a few photos.  I've kept them to a minimum by only showing you closeups of the outside layer plus I was getting frustrated with how long it was taking me to upload everything.

Anyway, I've made a two layer exploding box and as the title suggests I've used some different stamps to my norm.  I've had these Penny Black little beauties for a number of years (yes I said years!!!) and not used them so I set about making that right.

The papers are an old My Minds Eye pad which I'd forgotten I had and these really set the colour tone for the project.   An overall view of the inside layer, lots of flowers from WOC and lots of use of the my Martha Stewart branch punch.


The closeups of the outside layer.  Lots of gems, copious amounts of Stickles and I so love the fence and birdhouse dies.


I made this framework using a corner die from Nellie's multiframes.




Okay thats the piccies done, I hope I didn't bore you too much.

Challenges I would like to enter:-

Craft your days away  -  BINGO (flowers,ribbon,gems)

The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop  -  Lots of layers

Wild Orchid Crafts  -  Anything goes

I'm going to love you and leave you now folks but would like to quickly say a huge thank you for all of the comments you so kindly leave me.  They really are appreciated and I love reading them does so brighten my day and I don't say thank you enough. 

Take care and happy crafting.
