BOX FOR MY LILAC AND LAVENDER CHRISTMAS CARD


Hello peeps and fellow blogsters and a special warm welcome to my latest follower Vicky.  I was drawn to Vicky's blog initially because her surname is the same as mine!!  However, she is very talented and has a lovely blog called Sticky with Icky (http://stickywithicky.blogspot.co.uk/) - had to laugh 'cos I was glueing when I found her blog and of course I was sticky.  I cannot use any glue (and I mean ANY) without getting covered in the stuff.   Anyway this is a short post because it is the box for my previous card.


I've just popped another small piccy of the card that goes inside - just for reference!  LOL.

I'm quite pleased with the box, I used a little of my lilac Spider's Web for texture.  I am improving with my flowers - I used to only put 3 or 5 flowers on but the card and the box have a total of 20!!!  I have a large plastic crate full of them now, so I feel I can be a tad more generous!
 
Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by again and for any comments you may have made - I am really really grateful.  I will be catching up with your blogs asap.  Must also catch up with the darn ironing tomorrow - sheesh I hate it, my back always locks and spasms.  I've even tried sitting on a little stool but it's worse than ever 'cos I'm up and down like a proverbial yo-yo!
 
Big hugs to all of you, I hope you are all well and for anyone out there who is feeling low (especially those of you who I know) I am thinking of you and sending you a virtual hug and a half!!

  9. Hi Sue wow this is fabulous and I love the colours, I am hopeless with boxes and always have to patch them up somehow. Yes I agree Vicky is fantastic and such a lovely person, I adore her cards. You are just like me I get covered in the sticky stuff . Tim says I should craft in an overall because I have ruined most of my clothes with glue.
    Lovely for you to visit , thank you sweetie
