One Box, Sooooo Many Uses….

G’Day Stampers,

I’ve been off the air lately, but last night sat myself down & created a box.  I don’t know how or what possessed me, but I just knew that I had to come up with something which I could use for many things – jewellery box, pencil case, chocolates, office, etc.  The list is endless. 
This one is going into my own bag, as I can never find my pens and will include my office supplies which I carry around with me.  It is not very big, that it will take up a lot of room!  My ruler even fits into it!

Open View –
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Great Friend
Card Stock – Chocolate Chip, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango,
Ink – Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, Bashful Blue
DSP – Chocolate Chip
Accessories – Pretties Kit, Snail Adhesive,
Non-SU – Rhinestones
Tip – I’ve used the “Rock n Roll” Technique on the butterfly.  So easy, yet a different look
 

Can’t you just see a chain or pendant sitting in here?  
2 small bars of chocolate fit perfectly or 5 Ferro Rachero’s.
 The list is endless!
Enjoy

Another…

G’day Stampers,
I’ve been playing with Abode & think I am finally getting somewhere with the program.  I suppose it helps to have the book, but hey, who reads those things!  I still have a litte way to go, but….
I’ve used “Wagon Full of Fun” – Mini-Catalogue – again.  I may have said it previously, but this set has so much potential….. 
A great little set if you are new to Stampin’ Up!® and not sure what set to begin with.
I didn’t start out making a baby card, but am happy with the end result.  You decide for yourselves!
