Who knew that paper and card could produce a typewriter !!




Its a friend's birthday tomorrow, she works in the office where I work , what other gift box would you give but a trusty vintage typewriter.  I cranked up the Silhouette Cameo and cut the pieces required to make this project. 

It takes time and a bit of concentration as you have to line up and glue correctly to let the typewriters shape to form.

I added my own sentiment to look like it had been freshly typed on ther and voila!  a gift box which  you cannot buy in the shops.  Thats the beauty of handmade, creating projects you cannot buy anywhere else.

I hope she loves it.

Good Morning everyone !!  Thank goodness its not raining !!  Yesterday I had prepped my front garden for the stone delivery this morning and had wanted some greenery. This is what I found, I call it Hedge in a box, its actually artificial ivy screening, but hey it gives you instant greenery and has cheered my garden up no end.

.

Started potting and placed these little cuties on my hedge !!  Cant wait for stones today.

Will be sure to keep you updated.
