Polka Doodles Challenge - Vintage Box

Well have you got your copy of Pen & Paper Circle Issue 2?? If you have, you may have spotted my Vintage Box on the front cover and detailed "how to" instructions inside. I've had a quick flick through and have to say there are some awesome projects from the DT included in it.

I've been really busy with various projects lately (this being one of them) and simply ran out of time to make anything for this weeks challenge over at Polka Doodles which is DISTRESS. So I'm afraid I've cheated a little and used this project for my DT sample. These are a couple of pictures of the box taken before it was sent off for publication never to be seen again - cos Nikky has pinched it!!!! LOL  :0)



Here it is on the cover of the magazine which unfortunately has sold out. The good news is though that Issue 3 of the magazine has just gone on pre-order and includes the gorgeous stamps shown in the picture below. Remember this is a limited release and you only have until the 15th May to place your order.


If you did get the magazine and are inspired to make the box, please let me know as I'd love to see your take on it.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a fantastic weekend.
