Animal tales

This is another tutorial on U Stamp by Irene Wendlandt. Its a little box filled with 4 of the love note cards.
I have used a new stamp set called Animal stories. I wasn't too sure at first but now I've got them and had a play, I quite like them.
The design papers are called Tall Tales and I really love these. The patterns are quite bold but really cute.
I used a bit of choc chip ribbon , Old Olive and So Saffron cardstock and my trusty scallop circle punch.
It was a quick little project for a Saturday afternoon to feed my craft craving!
Talking of craving, I'm starving and would LOVE a huge bit of chocolate cake LOL!
But I lost 4lb when I went to be weighed this morning so I MUST resist the urge.....
Bella is curled up at my feet asleep... not good... she howled last night and made Holly bark! So to get some much needed sleep (3am by this point) I switched places with Holly, she slept upstairs and I slept on the settee with said new pooch!! I'm hoping to catch up my sleep tonight.....

Sneak peeks

This gorgeous box is a class over on U Stamp fall 09 by Becky Roberts. I love Becky's tutorials and was really pleased when it was announced she would be one of the class designers.
There is a huge box bit at the top for goodies and a draw at the bottom to keep some cards in.
The stamp set is a newbie, Good friends by Stampin' Up!
I have also used my favourite colours choc chip and rose red.
Here's the box with the cards. I've made them the same but different IYKWIM lol!
And a close up of one of my favourites. I've also used the for you stamp from the all occasions stamp set.
On a different note I'm off to get weighed in the morning. I don't think I've lost any but I'll be upset if I haven't because I've been really good! Lol!!!! I'll let you know :)
Bella is fast asleep and I should be too. Bet she wakes up as soon as I shut the door! I had to get up a couple of times in the night cos she was crying so much. Didn't take long to settle her though.
