WOYWW Box Clever

Hi I have not been to WOYWW or blogging for a few weeks, but just thought I would share a project with you that I made a few weeks ago.

If you have not been to my blog before, Welcome. If you are wondering what WOYWW is. If you have not already been to this blog then pop over to Julia’s stamping ground and see what everyone is talking about, and visit some fantastic peoples work from all around the world.




I got this box at an ATC meet and fund raiser last August.
At the time I did not know what I was going to use it for
or what I was going to do with it.

I hope you like what I did?


Using Tim Holtz tissue tape I covered the box.
I then coloured the box with a selection of Distress Inks
and then decorated it with stamped images which I think look great.

My distress inks look great in it too.


BUT

For a few weeks now I seem to have lost my MOJO.

So with this in mind, I thought instead of my Distress Inks
being hidden away in the box.
I decided to have a tidy up in my craft
space and make some storage for my ink pads
and distress stains.

Next to each ink pad is a piece of blending foam with the
name of the ink printed with my label maker.

The shelves are made from some Ikea CD racks I bought a while back.

So now I just need to find my Mojo and get back to crafting. So this is

what is on My work space this week ZILCH.

I do hope my MOJO will come back this week.

I will let you know next week.

Thank you all for popping by I hope you have a great week

HAPPY CRAFTING XXX

    Well, while your Mojo's down, at least you've been creative in other ways!! WoW, that storage is impressive. Labelling the pads is pretty impressive too..go you! You'll be so grateful that you did this when your Mojo kicks in!!

    Hi Liz, long time no desk visit - not sure why I haven't been your way for so long, hope the inspiration comes back soon - it may just be you needed a break, and a new experiment is about to spring forth...

    Hi Liz
    I loved your box when I saw it at Beamsley. And I love your ink storage. I know from experience that your Mojo will come back, But while you are waiting, just be glad of what you have created. I am supposed to be creating a DT project tonight but nothing is coming together!! Perhaps my mojo has gone on holiday with yours!!
    Hope you have a good Easter.

    Hi Bobs!! Love your box and your storage solutions. You can't get those CD racks from IKEA anymor which is a real nuisance as I wanted some for my craft room. I have put little labels on all my distress ink pads as well - only trouble is I keep putting them back on the shelf the wrong way round so I still have to rummage! If you've got no mojo wanna do a challenge using those new stamps? Let me know!! Cindy #67

    I love what you have done to the box. I thought it might have love letters or other trinkets inside, but Distress Inks are way more exciting. I like the CD racks with the pads and corresponding foam pad right there. Is it really a CD rack or a cassette rack? I have an old cassette rack I keep my inks on. It is hard to find those things these days. Sorry your mojo has gone on holiday. It is probably on some beach somewhere with my mojo picking up seashells.

    Wonderful ink storage! I love upcycling and making something new. Regarding your mojo...I just saw this video of a talk given by Ira Glass about beginner creative types. Sorry I don't know the link, but if you get a chance to look it up (I believe it was on Vimeo) it is wonderful!

    Happy WOYWW!
