New Little Claire Challenge and Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine

There's a brand new challenge today on the Little Claire Blog and this time we'd like to see everyone make 'anything but a card'.  For all the details including the prize on offer and the creations from the rest of the Design Team, please click here.

I have to say that I have this month's challenge a bit more challenging than usual!  Apart from cards, I don't tend to make a lot of other 'things' so it took me quite a while to decide what to make.  Eventually I made a little storage box using three of the larger sized match boxes stacked on top of each other - perfect for storing Card Candi and other bits and pieces.

I stuck the three boxes together and then put kraft paper and lilac spotted paper round the whole thing - I also added some white ribbon to neatne up the edges.  On the top of the box I stamped and then paper pieced the 'Single Flower' stamp so that it matches the outside of the box.

Here's a couple more views of the box:



I'd like to enter my little box in the following challenges:

Pollycraft Monday - 'anything but a card'

Dream Valley Challenges - 'anything goes'

One Stop Craft Challenges - 'on the spot and ribbon'

I also received my copy of Carmaking and Papercraft magazine today - inside the front cover there's an advert for the Little Claire 'At Home' stamp set which is January's club set.:

Two of the cards on the bottom row are mine - the one on the far left and the one in the middle.  Further on in the magazine ( pages 40 and 41) there's a great selection of cards made with the Little Claire Swirly Whirlies stamps.
