I decided to make a little emergency sewing box for Amy to take with her when she goes back to Uni :-)



I have had this SU tin for ages, it was full of hardware, but I emptied it out, sanded it down and decorated it :-)

I will link the products I used at the bottom of this post but just to say the scissors were cut out on the Silhouette Cameo machine and the little needle book does actually have real needles inside it ,,, :-)



I will make a trip to the haberdashery and add more bits :-)

Tear It on the LIM Challenge

Good Morning all :-) I hope you’re all fit and well and enjoying a good start to your weekend :-)

I was up bright and early so I thought I would sit down and make a CAS card for the Less Is More Challenge and become a ‘proper’ Limette by trying to enter every week ,,,,, :-)

This week Mandi and Chrissie are asking us to use tearing on our cards, I tore a few bits of Washi tape :-) ,, LOVE this stuff !



The script tape is from Tim Holtz and the other 2 were in the Monthly Card Kits from Simon Says Stamp. I had a fab parcel yesterday and in it was this fab n funky Retro Squares die from MFT so I had to use it ! The spotty paper was also in the parcel, it's from a Classic pack from Fabscraps,, I have been wanting this since I saw it at the CHA and it is so popular it was always out of stock !

I finished with a sentiment from Hero Arts and a few little red gems :-) I am quite happy with how this turned out ,, do you like it ? I appreciate your comments ,, the good and the bad so please be honest :-)

BTW, do you have a Silhouette Machine ?? I found a fab deal on the downloads yesterday, pay $18 ( + a 25% discount on that )for $30 image download voucher !! ,, I bought 2 ! what a fab deal,,, for more details click HERE :-)
