In February, Chris and I went to Amsterdam together. It was my first trip to Europe and I loved it .. and of course I needed a travel journal.
and I’m still crafting. Term 1 was way too busy .. but school holidays are here and it feels like I’m back.
I bought some red leather handles at a craft show last year and really wanted to make that bag .. unfortunately, the handles didn’t make it into this bag, but I love it anyway. I was so overdue for a new bag.
I’ve used an old pair of jeans, some gorgeous striped bias binding, and some beautiful red fabric.
I love this quote … and I love Donna Downey’s stamp … so I wanted to make a canvas with butterflies and my favourite quote.
It took me a while to catch on … I had a feeling it was going to consume me … and it did … and I loved every minute …
I found this Vintage Passion sheet of inchies from *iTkUpiLLi* and knew they were perfect for my Twilight inspired piece …
Today we went to the beach and it was amazing!
Australian company Kaisercraft have started selling their paper ranges in a digital format .. and I’m so excited.
I LOVE this tree … a stamp from the very talented Donna Downey … I’m loving the Distress crackle paint and dictionary pages at the moment …
I’ve had this on my to do list for ages … and today was the day!! The kids were in the pool, so while watching, I took out some supplies and collaged with an old dictionary. And after lunch I dressed her … It was so much fun!
Sometimes a project can takes months to complete … this is one such project … and I’m so happy that I’ve finally finished!
My boys are watching Toy Story 2 at the moment … and I just heard the line … “You can’t rush art” when Woody is having his makeover … and well it’s so true …
For Christmas this year I made two canvases, one for my sister-in-law Emily, and for my mother-in-law Annette. I’m really happy how they turned out .. and I love this photo of Emily taken on her recent visit with us.
twenty ten.
I love the sound of it … and I love how it looks written. there is always so much potential in a new year … I am hoping that this is the year that big things happen!!
For the past five years I’ve been making calendars … this year there were two versions .. the digital version … quick and easy …
and the crafty version …
