If you like to recycle a little bit than this is a gift wrap made for you, I'm using a pink tissue paper wrinkled on purpose (reused from a present) and scrap cardboard paper. I ripped off the top layer to make the paper ribs peaking through giving the wrap an interesting look. I also added 'a ribbon' from the same material. It is basically a piece of cardboard roll cut couple times and attached with double side tape. Happy wrapping!
I had more plans with my old pajama pants... more jewelry matching the brooch in previous project.
I was little bit frustrated though because all I had was a dull needle
made of really soft metal. Every time, I stick it through a thicker
material or more layers it bent like rubber. So, it took me quite a time
and couple stabbed fingers to finished all the fabric parts. But, I
managed it and I love the outcome! I might try a different color and
fabric for the next piece. Maybe, I can use my underwear this time. | Tak som ten pyžamový materiál znovu využila ... náhrdelník v rovnakom štýle ako brošnička
v prvom projekte. Bola som trošku frustrovaná, kedže jediný šitcí
nástroj bol tupý ako... ani neviem k čomu to mám prirovnať. Ihla sa
stále ohýbala ak som mala v ruke trošku hrubšiu časť narolovanej látky,
takže som skončila s dokonale dopichanými prstami. Ale podaeilo sa mi dokončiť a celkom som spokojná s výsledkom! Asi vyskúšam aj
iné látky a farby v dalšom projekte. Vyskúšam trebárs aj
spodné prádlo.
Well, at least it should be a hot sunny summer but it looks like we are changing into a rain forest here. At least I have a hobby that keeps me busy while the sky cries out loud.
Simple card... again. The cactus is a cut out from a magazine. The sun is made with 2 pieces of punch out flowers with one of my fiscars punch. Both - cactus & the sun are attached to a white blank card with couple self-adhesive squares to give them a little bit of plasticity. A card with a summer feeling:)

But, back to the moo cow on the picture. She was on the brochure with all the info about the milk products that the company offered and so. I cut her out because she was just too cute to be trown away and I saved the pic for later... you know when the mojo is high and working:)
...I stole it from a wine bottle:) While we were in Jamestown, RI, one of our friend Shannon who lives near by came for a visit and she brought us a bottle of red wine. It had this grate B&W tag with a layer cake on it, which is also the name of the wine 'Layer Cake' (very good wine by the way). So, after the wine was gone and I had scissor handy I cut out the cake, add couple foam squares to it, and stuck it to the green blank card. 'Marvelous' the card says and truly it was (the wine I mean). The end!

Another quick card design from me as I'm busy woman right now, very wedding preparation busy, hehe. I used a scrap red paper (from an add brochure) and 4 foam adhesive squares to lift it a little, blank yellow card from Michaels, a little cute crab punch from Fiscars, and 'a small miracles' stamp that I got at Michaels as well. Enjoy the everyday little things and see them as small miracles!

...and alive, well kinda:) I had little bit issues with my wedding preparations and I am stress out as hell! 2 weeks ago they canceled my place that was reserved since March because of technical issues and I was looking for a different place that would be at least half as good. I found couple that could work but this week the owner of the canceled place got back to me with a great news - the problem is solved and I can have the place!!! I am really happy and also concerned how everything will worked out. Now, I understand all those brides on the US show - Bridezilla. The only difference is that I am organizing almost everything by myself. Well, I am difficult person as well but in this case my family is aggravating me not the opposite. I believe the wedding will be fun, I hope I won't have a collapse:)
I forgot to take pics the first time I went to check out the place. Hopefully, I will take couple this weekend when I will bring the deposit. For now I will just describe it a little - before a children camp -> now, completely renovated wooden cottages, hiding in a forest, and there are sheep and peacocks near by. So idyllic! Will see how idyllic everything will be on the 25. September. Right now I am working on the menu - I think I will have just a nervous brake-down over a chicken:) So, hold your thumbs for me!
xoxo Lucy
