It's anything but a card ...

Hi Folks

This is a very quick post as I am off in the morning to Cardiff to see Elton John, so I hope this posts as it is supposed to do.

At  MAWTT, Pami is hosting this week, and her chosen theme is Anything but a Card.  Our sponsor this week is
Every Crafts a Pound, where you will find a host of really good deals on branded crafting goodies.

I have something that I have been trying to finish off for a while, and kept putting it aside, but I have finally finished it, so decided to use it for this challenge.  And, it really is anything but a card - it is a Configuration Box.  I actually started this at the ArtsyCrafts Tim Holtz event, and have been faffing about trying to decide what to put in it.  This is the finished result, and I am pleased with it.   The photo is poo!  But I will try and get some decent ones. 







I am entering this for the following challenges:

Bearley Mine - Anything goes
Craft Room Challenge - Anything goes
Creative Craft Challenges - Moveable parts
Deep Ocean Challenge - Anything goes
Everybody Art Challenge - Distress
Papertake Weekly - Anything goes
Shopping our Stash - Complete an unfinished project
Try it on Tuesday - Weird and Wonderful
Craft your Passion - Anything goes
Haunted House Design - Macabre Monday - Pleasure and Pain (you need to look closely at the doll!)
Make It Monday - Anything goes


I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you.

    You've created fabulous cards since I was last here trying to catch up, Val, but this box is stunning! Not sure about the little hanging figure - that's a bit spooky - but absolutely fabulous creation! Hugs, Lesley
