PaperArtsy Challenge for week 4 January 2014

Morning All,

This has to be a quick post as OH and I are off to our Sons for a lovely Sunday dinner.  Lots of cuddles with Alexa as it looks like she has  tonsilitis poor chick!

It's the 4th challenge week over on the PaperArtsy blog and the principal Guest DT has been the very talented Ellen Vargo.  I haven't had time to try something in her style and to be honest it's not really my thing but my #PATwit buddies have done some wonderful work and had a ball into the bargain. If  you like abstract, Ellen's blog is the place to go.  Anyway, at the week was rounded off by lovely Jo Myhill (didn't have time for her project either which is definitely up my street) and finally Linda Caine whose work I love too.  At the last minute I decided to have a go at Linda's smashing cube. To see Linda's gorgeous box, actually called an Artist Trading Block, and how she did it go HERE.  I made mine in the same way except I made my box from scratch not having the appropriate Sizzix die.  I had thought it would be relatively simple and when my buddy Sam posted her fabulous one also made from scratch that settled it.

Everything I used is available from PaperArtsy wonderful products.





I really wanted to add the finishing touches of feet and some sort of knob on top but just ran out of time.  It was fun. to make though.

Have a lovely day everyone although our English weather is doing its level best to make us all miserable .....yes, true to form it's chucking down with rain once again but now with the risk of it turning to snow :-(.

Till next time ............

Hugs
