Don't you just love making something for nothing. This pretty little flower vase is actually an old coffee jar decorated with adhesive vinyl cut on my eCraft machine. I've had a quick play with vinyl on the eCraft before but only to see if it worked. Today I actually had a project in mind. When I pop to Tesco I always have a quick look to see if the flowers are reduced and yesterday there was a bunch for 75 pence reduced from £5.00, at which point I decided I was worth it!! So my little vase has daffodils in it so I needed another small vase, so coffee jar to the rescue, once it had been tarted up a little.

Oh my I want to sticker everything now!! I've started with Edna-May my eCraft but have lots of ideas for future projects too.
Here's a picture of the snow last night - let's hope it clears up today! It doesn't look like it's going anywhere just yet though!!
So with this much snow it means I'm going nowhere today. So I'm off to work on my sister's wedding invites, cutting and embossing here I come!
Enjoy your Sunday.
Love ya
