WOYWW 191 & Finished Storage Box

Hi everyone,
Its Wednesday again our favourite day of the week where we all get to have a good nosey look around everyones work desk.  To find out how to join in the fun, visit Julia's blog at
stamping-ground.blogspot.com



OK so there is a bit of a mixed bag on here this morning.  The stamped butterflies were done last night and laid out to dry for my workshop this morning so they are about to be gathered up and put in my bag.  The die cut  shapes are heading the same way.   Working to the left we have 3 small frames I have had for ages, they are real cheapies from ikea and I am going to have a go at making one of those layered picture frames which are in all the shops at the moment, thus my new glue gun to stick them all together, another bargain bought this week for a fiver from Aldi .   Just above the glue gun is another new purchase, a dylusions stamp set and on top of this is this months edition of Craft Stamper magazine.  It is turned to the page where they are showing you how to uncycle old drinks cans into gifts, solving the mystery of why I have a few cut up and in the process of being embossed.

I hear you say but hold on,


 where is the long awaited box?


well, it is here, finished as you can see.  I am quite pleased with the end result.

  1. What a great idea to emboss cans! That's a new one on me. And all those butterflies look like they are waiting to take off - very fun. Your storage box is totally on point - great work with the sewing theme. Love the hanging buttons!
    Have a great week.

  5. The old cuttlebug sure takes the work out of the can embossing, I remember years back doing it through matched brass stencils...painful work!! Like the butterflies..what's the workshop project, will you show and tell? Pretty box - you should be pleased with it, it looks fab.

  12. Great box, you must have spent ages on it. I'm interested in what you're doing with the drinks cans. I see that you are embossing them, do you have any plans yet for what they will be turned into? I go through a lot of pop and am always looking for new ideas on how to recycle the cans. Have a great week:) Lucy #23 x
