"Persil" ribbon storage

2009-01-24T13:34:00.002Z

I have the EZ ribbon purse which cost a fair bit. I like it, but when stuffed full, the ribbons get tangled so I decided to make my own and then have a box for each colour. I used a soldering iron to make the holes in persil laundry liquid tab boxes. I am so pleased with the results....at zero cost too!

Claire has be a very naughty and tagged me...I have done it enough times now so no one else get any ideas!! So here are 7 random facts about me:

1. I like marmite. I make toast for the "boys" at work and they hate Marmite so they get marmalade. I am very nice and use a different knife to spread their muck marmalade

2.Although my UKS name is Pinkfairy (pinky) and my craft room is pink I dont wear pink or scrap much in pink. Strange that.

3. I have just bought a Turquoise Ipod for when I do my keeping fit as my two children nicked my two old MP3 players.

4. I've dabbled in different types of dance ballet at Pinepapple studios, Tap dancing at Buckingham Palace, belly dancing and Streetdance locally. All good fun and you can take the piss as much as you like but at least I have a go and dont sit on my arse 24/7!!

5. I once got so drunk that the taxi driver had to carry me indoors and dumped me and ran....wise man as I promptly threw up

6. Hate public swimming pools. Why is it theres always a dirty nappy in my cubicle or a dead wasp. Cant stand someone elses "water" on the floor either. Yuk!!

7. Cant stand to see these teenage girls walking round with orange faces at the moment. They have lovely young skin and they trowel it on? Oh to be a teenager again!!

Second 2 weeks..well....one "major" no- no would be posh spice or any other shallow bimbo. Fred Dibnah would noy exactly be on my guest list either...what a boring person he is!!

3.What are your three favourite crafting products?

Easy....scissors, trimmer and herma. Cant live without em

4.If you could invent something to do anything what do you think it would be?

Jam ATC Swap

2007-10-15T16:14:00.000+01:00

Fisrt time I have ever done a collaborative ATC....bit worried about it initially as to how much to leave enough room for the next person to add something. Anyway, this is the end result from 2 of my original backgrounds.

The pink one was alcohol inks on a silver metallic card. Dansmum stamped it, embossed it, sakura glazed it, added gems & star. Chicken Licken completed it with ribbon& fibres. The end result is great

The autumnal one was a brayered background. Dansmum stamped, added rafia and he title.Chicken Licken add the fibres and burnished leaves. The end result is lovely too

Thanks ladies xx

2007-10-08T17:23:00.000+01:00

My Circle Journey using one stamp only. I bought the heart stamp specifically. The cover is painted with dabbers, bit of utee and I have stamped the image onto acetate.

(I have subsequently bound it properly and tied ribbons on)

For my entry inside (no you cant see it yet!!) I was going to use it as a "body" but then changed my mind and did something else using a soldering tool....you will have to wait and see!! LOL

Choosing a stamp was hard...I hope you are able to come up with something different each time...

2007-10-05T22:19:00.000+01:00

A team challenge to alter something so I altered a monogram "P" which I'd bought at Ally Pally last weekend....dabbers, stamped with script and a swirl, image torm from patterened paper, utee and a bloom....to be hung in my craft room (whn its decorated and I can move back in!!)
