Mouse's Lilac Album

 

This is a folio album made using various free tutorials and walkthroughs as inspiration. 

I decorated it using Stamperia's Lilac Flowers 12 x 12 paper pack and their Provence 8 x 8 paper pack as well as some plain and patterned pads in shades of purple and lilac from various eBay stores. 

The Album is just over 8 x 8 inches

August ATC - Sewing

For this ATC Swap we make 4 cards on the monthly theme and send three to the organiser.  She sends us three random cards in exchange.

The fourth card we make is for us to keep.

The theme for the August ATC Swap was Sewing.

I pricked out the lines on this paper and then used embroidery thread to sew the design.

Here's my card with the three I received:

Hannah's Window Nook

 

This is a window nook I made from a kit from Cool Katz Craft

I added lots of personal touches, from the bunting to the books and decorations on the top shelf

I printed off scaled-down covers for the Penguin Clothbound Classics to cover the book blanks

Cute spines!
