June already ..

Hello

Well settling into my new job has been more time consuming than I expected and is ongoing ....

But I have been crafting in between times ... so I thought I would show you what I have been working on ...

Firstly, a mini-album using Prima's Fairy Rhymes paper pad ... I have made life difficult for myself by putting twelve pages into this album! That's twenty-four sides to decorate (sigh) ... I start enthusiastically but now ten pages in I am becoming bored with it and finishing will be an effort ... anyway here are a few pages of this work in progress ...





It's quite pretty and I have used lots of glossy accents and glitter ... hopefully in a week or so there will be a Youtube video.

I have also been a bit obsessed with making beaded charms ...


I did say obsessed ... a few close ups below ...





I may decide to video these ... it will be easier to see the detail ... I just love making these and will add to ATCs, tags and cards I expect or use several together to make chunkier charms.

I have also made a few cards - although these are completely unoriginal and more or less direct copies of  cards I have seen on Pinterest ...





The originals can be seen here ...

  3. Jacqui, don't give up on your album! It is coming out so beautiful! You did give yourself a challenge but you can handle it with a punch in one hand and glue in the other! lol Loved your charms and it would be great to see them in a video. Thanks for sharing!
