    This years Christmas envelopes for the family, made in vintage style. Made with DL size envelopes.




    I've been ignoring the tassels for too long. Here are the latest ones.

 I love the chunkiness of this one, it took several hours to make.

 this years Christmas tassel.

 this one is for my car mad great grandson's 2nd birthday.



    After doing the whimsical houses, I made a people journal too. I left them with no faces, I didn't want to ruin them, posing them was fun. Look carefully at the 4 boys, can you see the song they are spelling out? I made the first one with his arms in the air, then inspiration hit and I did the other 3 as M, C & A.

My latest project. I had bought a cheap little wooden house online, thinking it would be cute in the garden, but it turned out to be thin balsa wood so not suitable for outdoors. I was going to just toss it, then had an idea. I spent a day cutting it down, giving it a reno, then made a new journal and attaching the house to the front.

Another day and a half making 40 "whimsical houses" out of my scrap papers and I have an adorable and unique book. The roof comes off the house and I have fairy lights in it. Of course I had to make houses to represent my favourite food (strawberries) and drink (frozen coke), and what house book would be complete without a tree house!
