Stress Relief Bubble book

I forgot to upload this stress relief bubble match book which I made a few months ago it looks very flat in the picture but thicker in real life, it holds 10 sheets of 4 x 4 bubble wrap.
the quote inside read

When you are stressed and full of troubles
Just grab a sheet and pop some bubbles!
watch problems go with a loud “Pop”! “Pop”!
soon your spirit will be back on top.
This is therapeutic and soon after a while
You will find yourself begin to smile!

Directions: Pop one stress relieving capsules Every 4 - 6 hours or as needed.
Warning: May become addictive, in case of overdose please seek professional counselling.

Twilight book marks/paper clips

I was bored tonight as X factor is on and the kids are watching it, so thought I would make this for my Daughters as they are mad on Twilight! and they are book readers. I got this idea from rainmacs i do love the quote "The Lion fell in love with the lamb" now looking for a picture with the quote that is one of my Daughters favourite " Only a vampire can love your forever"




looking at the photos above I really need to give my craft desk a good scub!!!

UPDATED
since I posted it I found "be safe" font here so was able to make another paperclip/bookmark using my daughters favourite quote


Note to self ......scrub the desk!

Pegs

I made these this afternoon nicked the idea from itsallfiddlefart It was quick and easy to do, just waiting for the magnets to arrive before I can bag them and tag them with this verse found on the MSE forum
Here's some pegs,
they'll be just fine,
stick them on the fridge,
Don't hang them on the line!

I have been "baking" towel cakes today.. the christmas one looks lopsided but it is straight in real life and the pamper cake both were made out of Marks and Spencer towel bale which was £7.50 for two bath towels, 2 hand towels and two face cloths. Christmas cake was made with one hand towel, one bath towel and one face cloth, the pamper cake was mde with one hand towel and one face cloth and spa pack was out of

Pencil box, tutorial and file

After a few request on how to make this I am going to try and explain the best I can how to do this first download and print this file which I created for you to use PDF pencil unto card stock and score your first line just above the printed area..I am sorry this not professional but it was the only way I could figure it out.
One A4 cardstock printed will make two of these pencil boxes

After scoring the first line then score 7/8" from the first score line and every score line until the whole page is scored, score the sides as close as to the print out then cut the score lines at the side
Cut the sidesto the edge of the score lines and fold all the scored lines on the right sides trim all except for one as in pic below



then tape down the edges except for the long one


put glue or double sided tape on one edge and stick it down and tape the left side too


and now you are left with a box that looks like this
 
fold it over the box then trim off excess card



I hope this tutorial was easy enough to follow.
