Baby Bunting

I made some tiny bunting for a friend using 4 different patterns of pink floral paper...

...and ink-smudged the edges of each triangle with pink ink...

...then strung them on pale pink leather cord...

...and tied a loop at each end and finished with a star bead...

and this is how they look hung up...

I used three different patterned papers in lilacs, pinks and blues.

and embellished it with a lilac paper rose, buttons and a peel-off heart backed with a contrasting paper.

Sweets for my Sweet...

I love this jar!

I painted the lid with white paint then stuck all kinds of lovely stuff on it.

There's dried rose petals and buds, buttons, paper flowers, pearl embellishments and more buttons...

...and the jar is filled with love heart sweets.

Mini Notebooks

After a long break, back to crafting!

Here are 3 mini notebooks I made, borrowing the idea from my son, who has made several for himself.

I have used my usual embellishments, ribbons and some scraps of vintage lace.

I even ragged each page edge on the larger of the oblong books but resorted to shaped scissors for the other two.

I doubt they'll ever get written in but I may use them as mini photo albums when I finally get around to transferring my old photos to the computer!

For Baby

A couple more pram hangers I have made...

I love the lace on this pink hanger. It is a scrap left over from our family christening gown.

The paper is a smudged pink with pale brown dots and the large heart is a sizzix cut out, aged around the edges and embellished with a pearl heart and 'Ssshhh...'

I also made a yellow and mint green hanger using a checked pattern and embellishing with a yellow and green pearl heart and flower.

The tiny bear is made from fimo clay.

Little Boxes...

...made using large paper scraps and my usual embellishments...

A Small Noel

Just a little heart-shaped hanger for Christmas. Covered in silver holly patterned paper and embellished with silver peel-0ff snowflakes, small stars, a pearl flower and a pink organza bow.

Merry Christmas

I made this 'Merry Christmas' hanger...

...I used thickened card, cut to size 21cm x 7.5cm, and covered it in a cream paper with a lilac pattern and pink foil design...

...and decorated it with hearts, buttons and bows...

...and a beautiful gold peel-off corner. I also used a couple of leaf-shaped sequin embellishments which look just like angel wings. The hanger is lilac wire, I wrapped a small section around a skewer to give a little twist.
