Crafty Dog Blog

some of you may have seen my post on blog candi advice viewtopic.php?f=34&t=15000 . Well it has resulted in me going for it and i have two parchment explodong boxes under construction It took me a while to sort the template and that is how i managed to turn one project into two.

I made the box lid- no problem easy job- so i decorated it. Then i measured up and cut the bottom bit first layer and managed to cock it up. twice so i ran out of the colour range so i started again with a different colour range and got it right brillient i thought. this confirms the well known fact that i am quite intelligent really

so now i have two box lids both decorated and one set of box bottoms. well i thought i can't waste all those peeloffs so i will just have to buy some more 12X12 card stock. Come on now dont tut i can hear you! you would have done the same thing !

any way it now means that there will be two prizes for my blog candy. But dont hold your breath because that means i have 24 parchment panel to produce. OMG what have i let myself in for.
Just kidding you know i love the challenge!

so here is a sneek preview - the lid of each box



just a thought - any suggestions on how i can pack these up for posting

They are absolutely beautiful Tina, no idea how to package them though, sorry

They are beautiful have you any strong cardboard boxes slightly bigger that you could parcel them up in? Sandra

they are stunning,i would try find 2 bigger boxes and pack with bubble wrap,would be awful if they got damaged
