Tatty Teddy Sweet Treats


After a busy week and continued property hunt I really needed to treat myself to a bit of crafting this weekend. And what could be a better 'pick me up' collection than the Me to You Sweet Shop products by Trimcraft. Guilt free and 0 calorie indulgence!


This post features three square cards I created with these products. Full products lists and step-by-step instructions will be available in my Trimcraft gallery by Monday night.

New Year - New Storage

I hope you all had a great start into 2016. May it be a healthy, peaceful, inspirational and successful year.


I decided to end the year with layers of glue on my fingers - First Edition glossy deco mache glue to be precise (and I added so much glue to my fingers that I would not have left identifiable fingerprints anywhere ... in fact, I still found traces of glue on two fingers this morning). Two rectangular TJENA boxes from IKEA, which were originally white, were waiting to be turned into storage boxes. So they got covered in First Edition deco mache papers on hogmanay and decorated on 1 January.


The first box is for storing paper flowers (mainly paper cherry blossoms) and should be stackable with other boxes, so I added cherry blossoms together with some assessories to the front of the box.

The second box is for storing bus timetables. This box will be kept in a drawer with a frosted glass front hence the labelling on the lid.


Product lists and step-by-step instructions for both boxes are - as usual - in my Trimcraft gallery.
