I sent a batch of samples off to Crafters Companion ahead of a Create and Craft show they are doing soon - only remembering after they went in the postbox that I hadn't taken a single photo of them. This on top of taking photos of something I made and sent at the weekend where, though I did remember to take photos - I didn't check what they were like....and of course the camera settings were all wrong and the photos looked as though they'd been taken in a dark cupboard.
At least I could do something about that - even though it's taken ages fiddling about with the tools in Paint Shop Pro.
Anyway. Remember the rejected card I made for Friday's daring Cardmakaers challenge? Well, I've pulled it to bits and used some of the little icons to decorate a notebook and make a little gift card to go with it.
Materials and Tool:
Notebook from Paperchase
patterned papers; Funky Hand (from my scraps pile)
Plain card; Coredinations and Bazzill
Blue and green dewdrops, Pink, yellow and Clear dewdrops
Flip-flops pewter charm, Ribbon,Stickles and Ice Stickles
Black Gel pen
Craft Robo to cut all motifs except the tiny bunting which is hand cut
I know the photo is a bit rubbish, but it's a whole lot better than the original version!
I quite like the way the notebook turned out so I'm pleased I didn't throw that card straight into the bin.
That's all for now. thanks for visiting
This is fabulous, I must do something like this!
