My Paperlicious Oasis...





Well here is my little space. I can't believe how much stash I have accumulated in such a short space of time. Ok where to start. IKEA fab shop, love it, love it, love it. Storage jars £1.99 4 pk. Table and Expedit storage unit also Ikea. Best buy though curtains/voile £2.99 per pair, ok they are nothing special but they do the job. Baskets are from Matalan, Instore and ikea. Spent most of this evening sorting out my ribbons, didn't realise I had so many. I bought some dowelling (not sure if that is how its spelt), painted it white and just popped it through the shelf brackets, will do for now. The pink baskets on the shelf also hold ribbons, as do the glass jars. I just can't wait for the bunk beds to go, will have even more space to store even more scrummy stash ...lol!!! I couldn't resist putting Paperlicious Oasis on the wall, for the time being I have used Brenda Pinnicks chipboard alphabets, but when I get some free time I will paint the letters properly. Well that's a little insight into my crafty space. thanks for looking, xx vicki xx





Pirate Princess 13th card and box...


I have made this card and box for our Niece, Amy who will be 13 in a fortnight. She loves all the skull and cross bone fashion and jewellery, but the girlie type not so much the gothic type. She strongly denies being a Goth....lol. I have to thank one of the girlies on the Do Craft forum, Kerry, for drawing my attention to these funky papers, she is an amazingly talented lady to boot. Huge thanks Kerry. (I hope you don't mind me mentioning you). Perhaps I should have entered this for Natty K's blog candy instead. Thanks for stopping by, take care all xx vicki xx
