And what do you get?
Morning Muffins!
Well, you know what Monday morning means, doncha? Yup, time for a scrummy Cupcake and this week, Yours Truly had the brilliant idea of choosing Recycle! You'll need to use something you've recylced from something else, on your creation, for a chance to win stasharoony from Bugaboo Stamps and Creations by AR. And you really need to see the fab things The Cupcakes have made too.
Now, you know I hate, measuring and cutting stuff, for projects that aren't cards, because I never end up with a box. No matter how hard I try, I end up with a wonky box. Every. Single. Time. So, I am super happy with how this project turned out. I saw something similar in a magazine last year and I put it on my to-do list... Ahem!
So what did I recycle? Well, yep, I cut up the smiley face biscuit box to make this. But there's more. Did you notice those little bits of paper?
Every time I line a card (sorry folks, I'm boring and don't decorate the inside too, I just line it with white paper.) I get a little off cut, which I keep for writing important information on. Like, what day it is, sketch ideas, what time I need to collect Sweet Cheeks from Nursery, that kind of thing. I have a mahoosive pile of them on my desk, and every time Very Understanding Hubby closes the curtains in The Bat Cave, they swoosh all over the floor. Well. They don't anymore. Now, I cut them in half and put them in this. If I wasn't so Fluffie, I'd be a genius!
I'll be back in a few hours with a fume-ungous post!

Hi Faye, what a great idea and a brilliant end product - love it! The little fairy is just so sweet and a great place to store those useful scraps of cards.
Just wondering tho - who had to eat the smiley faces so that you could get the box?!

Its a perfect, cutie of a notelet holder. I LOVE IT! Great background papers juxtaposed with the adorable image! I too line my cards with just a paper insert and I always throw throw the little pieces away - I won't be doing that now! Clever Fluff (I think that might be a good example of an oxymoron!) Hugs, Lesley
If my kids see this post my whole house will be full of cut up cheerio boxes, and bits of carefully cut up paper to fit!! Great Idea, love the image she fits perfectly. hugs heidi x
