i do ... vintage wedding

With sincere apologies, I am very late with my Crafts 4 Eternity DT post this week.

This week's challenge is a sketch which I've rotated anti-clockwise.

I am also entering this in at the following challenges:

• anything goes: Raise the Bar and ATS Wednesday Challenge
• anything goes + option glitter: Just Magnolia
• sew mad: Cupcake Craft Challenges

Here is my finished piece, for which I am finding it impossible to take a decent photo of the whole piece in the light we have at the moment.

Papers: Graphic 45 ~ Baby 2 Bridecollection.

Felt archway: Prima to which I've added some dimensional flowers.

I've added a Tim Holtz ~ Kraft Glassine Pocket which I've decorated and included some tags in the pocket.

The image is Magnolia ~ Tilda with ~ Veil. As usual, I coloured her with copics and added some stickles to the flowers.

The tags are also by Graphic 45.

Thank you for looking.

baked with love ... vintage recipe album

 

The weeks are whizzing by and here we are back at Friday again. Today's challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity is anything but a card. Maybe my favourite theme :)

 warning: very photo heavy post

I made the 'baked with love' title on the front, by taking a piece of Maya Road chipboard piece, painting it with PaperArtsy ~ Fresco paints and then using rub-ons for the words.

I've used mostly Webster's Pages ~ Sweet Season papers throughout, but I've thrown some other bits & pieces in. These are Christmas papers but I've tried not to have it all looking like Christmas as I wanted it to be a recipe book for the whole year through.

 

I have used both the 12 and 6 inch versions of the paper and lots of kraft paper.

 

Some of the edges have been die cut with a Magnolia ~ Doo Hickey die.

For this page I made a pocket and filled it with some handmade recipe tags.

 

Front of tags:

 

 Back of tags:

The next page is a piece of Hambly acetate ... which I love.

Lots of machine stitching on this album ....

... and different sized pages.

A Maya Road Kraft Pocket.

Another pocket filled with tags.

 

 

 OK, this page is a fun one and one of my favourites.

Two mini pockets with pull out tags.

I am entering this in at the following challenges:

• shabby sparkle: Cupcake Craft Challenges
• tags: A Spoon Full of Sugar

cherished love

Hello all and welcome to the weekend ... again.

This week at Crafts 4 Eternity we want to see your shaped cards and projects. So I have made a book spelling out the word LOVE.

This was actually bought as a chipboard book and I just covered it with paper and stuff.

Papers: My Mind's Eye ~ Love Me Do

I made eyelets with paper covered chipboard.

Thank you for looking and wishing you a lovely weekend.

Edited to add: LOVE to our Norwegian friends today. Such terrible, terrible things happening and our hearts are with you.
