Clothes Line Box set with Katie & Bear (LPS sketch challenge)

This little box & card was so much fun to make. I was bad & cut up the Cosmo Cricket catalogue to use as mini papers on it. Don't Ya love being sneaky & cheap? (In a crafting sense, at least.) ;o)

The {Beary Special Katie} stamp set from the Little Paper Shop is one of my faves for paper piecing & the catalogue paper couldn't be better for that (it's so nice & thin..not to mention free!) :-D
