Final Week for November!

OMG - only four weeks to Christmas! So much still to do.........

Hopefully making a gift box will lighten the present load for those that celebrate Christmas.


Our sponsor The Stamp Spot is offering our winner



a $15 Gift Voucher
Many thanks for this.



Novelty bird box!

I will have more on my blog on instructions to make this on Tuesday afternoon - I am having a problem with blogger reading my blog on other machines at present.
I thought I would try and make this as a Santa or an elf box with a gift inside - this one has mints inside it!

Lets see what you can create in the remaining few days of this challenge - amazing stuff done so far!

Well, its MIDWAY for our November Challenge: Box it Up!

Hello Peeps! Welcome to our new Followers too.




Reminder: the November Challenge is to Box it Up and the TWIST is to keep a photo diary of how you made/changed your box! You can repurpose a container or you can make one from scratch but we all need something to present our presents in at some time. Just take a few photos and put them up on the post or if you have followed a tutorial, link to that then then make a few comments about how easy/hard/different you found the tutorial.

I have some more inspiration to show you - the DT just keep producing stuff! I just have to showcase it - too adorable......

Winner's post for October

Firstly, have to share this gorgeous photo of two Humpback whales playing in the Mercury Passage off Maria Island one Spring afternoon this week. Not my photo's - but so amazing! I used to live just near there - in fact if you go to my blog page and look at the photo at the top, these whales were just a little way off to the left of that photo!



Just showoffs really!

Bit like the winner of our October Challenge

#40
..........TIME - and the twist was shabby chic!


Our winner is No 3: Being Karen
There is so much gorgeousness going on in those layers!

Karen has already been contacted but why not go and leave some extra love on her blog!

Congratulations to both wonderful crafters! They both got the TWIST of shabby chic down pat!

Now, on to other news!
We have another new DT member joining us......
 Meet Claire Dale


Hi, my name is Claire! I have been crafting on and off for about 20 years now, and can officially say that I'm addicted! My craft room is my happy place! My passion is card making, but I also do cake decorating and dabble in a bit of crochet when the dog doesn't want to sit on my lap! I am married to a wonderful man, and have two grown up children, the youngest still at university and the oldest working but back living at home! I work in a school office, so get all the school holidays off to craft! I am really excited to join UnstampaBelles, and look forward to my first challenge!

Please go and welcome Claire to the team
