Hippo!

Hi Everyone, a card today I made for the Outlawz sketch challenge I have been
looking through some of my thousands of files and I have so many that I haven't used, I decided to start using the ones I haven't. This card is made mostly with freebies, I'm such a cheapskate! BUT it did take time, so maybe that's more important? I'll let you decide LOL.

Milk Carton boxes

Hi Everyone 2 little boxes today, I was looking through my files for a box, when a follower email came through, with just what I was looking for, thanks Carol. I cased them LOL. I thought it a wonderful idea and so did my eldest SiL, I gave them to her for her 82nd birthday. One with some expensive choccies in the the bigger box and the other with a Cadbury's creme egg. I think she was more thrilled with the egg LOL.

Symmetry

Hi Everyone, my DT post today is for

http://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/

I have to be honest I had to look up the meaning of symmetry to make sure I was on the right track.

It has reflection symmetry. It has one line of symmetry. When you fold a shape along a line of symmetry, 
one half fits exactly over the other.
 When you put a mirror on a line of symmetry and look from either side, 
the shape looks like the original.

 as luck would have it I saw a card that I liked in a magazine and cased it. 

shape - Photoshop shape

paper - Craft Sensations paper pad
