Good morning crafty friends, hope you are all well?
I’ve got a bit of a bad head this morning! I went out for a meal with an old friend last night for a catch up and had a couple of glasses of wine. Not excessive by any means but I don’t often drink wine these days and I’m certainly feeling the effects of it this morning. I was always a bit of a lightweight with alcohol, Southern Comfort has been my tipple of choice since I was 18 and I think I will stick to it!

I keep (hoard!) tins and boxes, in fact anything that I think will come in handy so I was pleased to be able to finally use one of them and I have something a bit different to share today
I covered an empty nut tin and made a money box. These new adventure sentiments from Mama Makes go perfectly with the cute Lawn Fawn ‘plane and simple’ set from Dies to Die for.
The stars you can see on there are also in the new release, from a fab border set
I thought it would be great to use as a saving tin for your holiday fund, the lid on this container is plastic so it was easy to cut a slot for the coins. I was pleased with how it turned out so I really hope you like it

Loti is on Hochanda showcasing the new stamps on Monday at 2pm and you can buy them all from the Mama Makes website. There are really useful borders and hexagons, a light box set and also some fantastic new sentiments so don’t miss the shows – the team have made lots of fabulous samples to showcase the new range too

ReplyDeleteThank you Alice x
DeleteWow Anne, fantastic money box!! You've created something really special from something very humble. Fabulous stamping, how did you stamp on a curved surface so well. Such a wonderful design, the different stamp brands work so well together. I just love it!!! Debra x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Debra. I stamped onto a strip of paper measured to fit around the tin and then stuck that on, the easiest way I thought
