Before my project for today, a couple of things I’d like to draw your attention to!

  • I have tidied up my Personal Craft Clear Out list, and added a lot of stamps including most of my Whiff of Joy and Sugar Nellie collections!
  • Shell from the Copic Colour Challenge blog asked me to let you all know that she is hosting a card drive for the UK soldiers in Afghanistan.  If you would like to find out more and help her out, pop on over to her blog – Challenge Addict – and check out the post.

Right, now on to my project!  After Rach posted her fab Halloween pillow box bucket I decided to give it a go myself!  I’ve gone for a Halloween theme too, but have opted to use one of the adorable Halloween Itzie Inkies from C.C. Designs – Halloween Puppy (available HERE with 20% off!).

This was a really nice simple project to create, and as I used the Sizzix Bigz Pillow Box die it was also pretty quick!  If you don’t have a die, you could easily use a pillow box template instead.  If you’d like to give it a go, you can find the step by step instructions ON SCS.

The image has of course been coloured with my trusty Copics, a list of which can be found at the end of this post!  I’ve also accented the pup’s costume with a Sakura Clear Stardust Pen (available HERE).

The paper I have used is from the My Mind’s Eye “Boo To You” 12×12 paper and accessories pack (available HERE with 20% off!).  Love those papers!  The handle has been secured with two orange 1/4″ crystal brads (available HERE).

Thanks for stopping by!  And thank you to everyone who has left comments recently, each and every one has been very much appreciated.  I’m trying to get round to visit all of your blogs when I can, just need to find some spare hours!
