What a Week!

Well this week seems to have gone so fast cant beleive the schools break up in less than 4 weeks!Yes we all know once that happens the shops will be ful of christmas stock.Mind do love christmas and this year proud of myself as i promised to do 10 Christmas cards a month yes im up to date !

Well this week not got much crafting done as had sick girls off school to look after .Idid manage to make some ATC's for swaps ,and also 2 acts' for competition using peeloffs as the main center piece.

I used the new peel offs which slid into my bag whilst at the Papermill shop in Spalding.Oriental fans i made 2 using same cream handmade paper and also black card.the 2nd one i did i changed so i had sections of the fan layered ontop in the cream handmade paper i used to cover the cards .i embellished one with pearls and the other used gems .hope you like?all comments welcome.

Well apart from Estate agents trying to con us and again trying there best to get us to reduce our house ,i think next week we have finally deceided to tell em not for sale anymore ,and we are going to rent out and keep this lovely house until such time we deceide to sell hopefully when the market picks up .

Well have good weekend and the start of a new crafting week hopefully can get bit more done.

School Memories Paper Bag Album

My daughter is due to leave junior school this july ready for high school,boy how time flies!!!
Anyway she wanted a album that she could take in and get her friends to sign,and take photos of the class and teachers .This is the result.Now my youngest daughter wants one as we are now leaving Suffolk and moving to Hertfordshire so she wants one to remember all her friends.
I made a black board on the center pages of the album one page for school messages ,and one for class photo.
When i gave to my eldest daughter her reaction was WICKED.......so i think she liked it !....lol.
I hope you all do to .

Wedding Paper Bag Album

I have just made this wedding paper bag album as a sample as i have 2 orders for wedding albums ,one a paper bag album ,one being a A4 size album ,which until now i had never made ,but ive started to put the pages together using 10 A4 cream card 250grms ,scored 1inch in and made 2 holds ,threaded ribbon through to hold book together.That is as far as i have got ,im in two minds once decorated the outer front and back page wether to laminate it?Once i have completed it i shall upload photo on here would be grateful for comments.

Have good weekend & happy crafting jude
