Making cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (part 2)

I use these as storage boxes for my card, etc and think they are fantastic. Used to use the cardboard boxes from The Paper Mill but they soon buckled and became tatty.



These are clear rigid plastic containers and are easily stacked and contents can be clearly seen.

They come in various sizes (A4, A5 12 x 12 etc, DL (peel offs) etc) Have a search under clear plastic boxes on ebay as there are various sellers have them and the prices vary. The A4 cost me approx £2 per box including postage last year - ordered about 15 of them.

I even bought then for my Grandchildren for last Xmas and filled them with craft bits and bobs.

Well done paddingtondoo :j:j - I've left comments on your blog. Do you get to choose a download or is it a designated one? How are the budgies coming along?

Thank you - you get a choice of 4 or so - in true MSE style I picked the biggest one .
Budgies are fine - we have another 5 now :eek: and with the latest rescue cockatiel it's a bit of a challenge to go into the aviary and not get hit in the face by one of them :rotfl:

Sorry if this is really obvious and I'm a numpty... but on blogspot you get people from all over the world blogging and you don't know where they come from sometimes.... so for blog candies how do you know which ones you can enter?

...lol maybe I can give away my Create and Craft stuff rofl....

....and I can't even get pictures in there..after 45 mins of trying I have ended up with just links but I guess that's better than nothing hehe

Hi beautiful cards Rusty, jailhousebabe ,furrys dd & mrs tidge:T:T:T:T

:(I am going to have to give the challenge a miss this week I dont have the energy for crafting. I have caught the dreaded lurgy from dd. She is feeling much better and running round like a loony.:rolleyes:

The docs are keeping an eye on me as I only started to get symtoms last night and my chest is very painful already. I am taking the Tami-flu drugs but being in the high risk group i am a teeny bit worried.:o

Anyway thats enough moaning from me:rotfl:

Oh mumhug I'm really sad to hear that...I was hoping and hoping that against all odds it would bypass you
