Hey there.....check out my nifty toolbox!!!!!

Hello everyone!!! I finally got some time for crafting this week. Unfortunately, we've had a lot going on with our family. We found out on August 12th that my husband's middle child (Janice is 46) has lung cancer. She is now taking chemo once a week and radiation everyday during the week with the weekends off. Please be sure and keep Janice in your prayers! Also during this time my youngest son (Chad..age 36) had a really bad intestinal infection and lost a lot weight. He had cancer (Wilms Tumor) when he was 3 1/2 years old............so this really scared me. He is better now...thank God!

This past Sunday, I attended one of Klo Oxford's online classes for the Pazzles Inspiration Creative Cutter (last year I served on their design team) and she presented a toolbox template designed by Wendy @ Poppy Hill Designs (you can find her here). Wendy was kind enough to give those of us that attended the class the cutter files for it...thanks Wendy! Here is what I came up with....my craft room is mostly black, white and grey:


And here is a photo of inside. I added some strips of self adhesive magnetic tape to add weight and stability. For the handle on top, I used another one of the Spellbinders "Fancy Tags". Thanks for looking.....I just love my little toolbox!!!

Hi Pam,
Thanks for your comment on my blog!!
Love your toolbox too!!

I didn't use a tutorial for the Christmaslight. I read, I could find one on this site;
http://kittyfranken.blogspot.com/

but I just couldn't find it , so I just tried it myself.
Take a piece of card stock from 10,5 by 6 inch. Scor at long side at 0,5 inch, 3 inch, 5,5 inch and
8 inch. Then on short side score at 2,5. And from then it's up to you ;-)
goodluck!!
