It was 6 years ago that I first used this origami folder flower and yet it is still one that gives the wow factor today.
I used the Topsi Turvy card stock from Create and Craft and also the Rainbow Cardstock for the flowers.
Isn't it pretty? I used a snowflake die by Memory Box and a sheet of the mirror card in gold to further embellish the box.
And I even found the original link that I used to make the flowers.

I'm back at Create and Craft TV with the One Day Wonder and it's a brilliant deal with 3 for the price of 2 so it's a great time to stock up on some wonderful card.
This is a card from one of my demo's this morning.
Don't forget to email into the live shows for a chance to win one of my cards.
I've took some time out from my building site home and I am at Create and Craft for the next 8 days, I'm hoping by the time I get home I will see a vast improvement although poor Chris is at work all week too so maybe we will just get stuck into the decorating when I get home.
I do hope you will join me next week I know there will be some fabulous offers and I have some wonderful things to show you. Please send in an email if you are watching I appreciate them so very much.
This is my schedule of my shows so hopefully you will catch some of them.
Thursday will be a busy day.
The doorbell chimed to the tune of the floral dance and I did my usual cringe that I do every time it chimes, Chris programmed it when we first got it and to be honest he was thrilled to bits with the result, I however try to let it finish before I open the door but as I have the builders in they had already laughed their socks off at the sound coming out of it.
I opened the door to a delivery driver asking for Jak Heath As the parcel had to be signed for. I advised that I was Jak to which he looked me up and down obviously expecting Jak to be of the male variety.
I saw Mo's name on the box and immediately became very excited to the amusement of the builders. I took my scissors and carefully opened up the box, I didn't know what was inside but I thought I had better open it carefully.
For those of you that don't yet know of Mo Manning she is a very talented artist friend who never ceases to amaze me, she writes and illustrates children's books, creates the most amazing image stamps for the crafting world both in Rubber and as Digital images.
The contents of the box just left me speechless, something that is a rarity for me. This is something that I totally fell in love with when Mo created it.
Meet Mary Lennox, created on 18th January 2014
Isn't she gorgeous, the concentration in her face, so very studious for such a dainty soul
And the little robin peeping out from behind her.
The back view.
I will truly treasure this.
Thank you Mo x
We are getting there slowly, hopefully we will see much more improvement by the end of play on Monday. Here is a few photos of where we are up to.
The window wall, still awaiting the rising damp treatment, it has had the coating to stop any more sulphur coming through so at least the first step has been done.
This is the pantry off shot, it has had the same anti sulphur treatment and it now has a new ceiling.
The other walls have been skimmed and are finished just awaiting paint, new skirting boards and coving.
Once all is finished on the walls the carpet will come up ready for painting and skirting boards then when all is finished a new carpet will be laid.
