It's a sunny day here in Christchurch. I always feel more motivated when the sun is out. Today I decided to tidy my teenager daughter's room - it wasn't too messy just needed a little tlc. When I got to the drawer she keeps her jewellery in I decided to make some boxes to organise everything. It's a great way to use up DSP that is about to or has retired. I used the Irresistibly Yours from Sale-A-Bration. Jen at "I Heart Organizing" has a great tutorial on how to make boxes - it's under DIY Paper Box Drawer Organisers - Monday 25 August 2014.  Before. After. The boxes.  Enjoy your day - Angela

Hi again I'm back today with a card I made following The Paper Players Theme Challenge of Transportation. I used the stamp set Time to Celebrate from the Occasions Catalogue which finishes on 2 June - it's one of the Hostess sets.

I have used the Be a Star stamp set - it's a great stamp set for masculine cards and thankfully staying in the new catalogue. Be back soon - Angela

Who'd ever thought you could be paid to do what you love.  Looking back I've been scrapbooking and card-making for years - I still have an album I made when I was 21.  My other passion is beauty therapy hence the name! As blogging is new to me there are bound to be some teething issues so please bear with me. I follow lots of fabulous bloggers so hopefully I've learnt from the best.
