Sweet Handmade Package...

Today I mailed off this sweet package I handmade. I made the bottom of the box out of chipboard. I painted the outside with white acrylic paint to look shabby and adhered a piece of the paper, also used for the lid, to the bottom inside. The top, lid, I made out of kraft styled scrapbook paper and scalloped the edges. I tied it up with a strip of ripped, frayed polka dot fabric, a tag with a handmade ribbon rose and one of my decorated cupcake clothespins. Inside I enclosed half a dozen of my decorated clothespins for submission to a magazine I LOVE, Somerset Life! We'll see what happens from here :)

Shabby Cards...

A few shabby cards I made this weekend. Mother's Day is almost here:)

 

More Sprinkles...

These little softies were a lot of fun to make. I couldn't just make one (hee hee). I used some of my very colorful buttons on them, some crochet roses my Mom made for me and miscellaneous trims. The ears are cut from felt mostly in the shape of hearts. There are also tiny hearts sewn to the top left sides of their smiles. My inspiration came from a pin on Pinterest manifattive.blogspot.co.nz.

Sprinkles...

I made this Sprinkle today. I love the pink and orange colors together.

Little Birdie...

The bird pattern is hand drawn and cut from chipboard then covered with miscellaneous patterned papers. I stamped the word "nest" and cut the letters out seperately and attached. The edges are trimmed with german glass glitter, so pretty! I have attached a seam binding bow topped with a hand dyed button and floral stem. The eye is a half pearl and I have attached a twine hanger to the top.
