Milk cartons!

Happy Sunday. We're off to see Transformers 3  'Dark of the Moon' in 3d this afternoon. The weather this weekend is lousy!

One of my passions is making boxes/containers out of card. I am the proud owner(not yet much used!) of an Imagine. I was really pleased as it means I can indulge my 'milk carton' addiction! Well, I could if I could get the cartridge here in the UK!!!
My best friend Kate surprised me this week with a plastic template to make a milk carton........thanks Honey.
I made a couple of cartons,the first one I'm sharing is part of a gift for my son's teacher. School breaks up very soon and thought I would fill this with chocolate.
I am linking this over at The Paper Variety which is a Photo Inspiration Week.

I thought the photo of the child studying and the bright colours fitted well with my colourful teacher gift. 

The next one is one I made the day before Kate gave me the template. Lots of measuring and work(boy am I so used to die cutting machines!!!) but still (I think) quite effective.


The flower is Tim Holtz's flower die,stamped,inked and glimmer misted. If anyone wants to know the measurements and / or how to make this - just let me know.

Thanks for looking.
