What do you have lurking at the back of your kitchen cupboards? This week I found a Magimix ice-cream maker, that I had completely forgotten about. Shame that some of the bits had gone AWOL, but thanks to the internet, my replacement parts arrived today!! Watch this space :-))
Now, on to this week's Totally Papercrafts Challenge.
Our host is the lovely Marion, with the theme
Say it with dies/punches
I made this little gift bag from label nesties and started out following the tutorial from Mona Pendleton .
Then I realised that my nesties were a completely different size,
so quite a bit of swearing went on, as I tried to make the box piece fit.
Then I realised that my nesties were a completely different size,

I cannot tell you the number of times I have tried to make my own flowers -
they always end up looking like something the dog has chewed up.
So I was thrilled when this one,
made with different punches, turned out ok - ish! :-)
We're looking forward to seeing what you come up with this week,
and if you want some inspiration
check out the fab work of my teamies over on the challenge blog.
