Wedding Card and Bukuro Bag

Morning all, it is such a beautiful Autumns day here.  Clear skies and touch of coolness in the air.  The kids are sleeping as it is the first day of school holidays or officially a 'pupil free day'.  :-)  Bliss.

Today I am sharing with you my first ever wedding card.  A friend has asked me to make a wedding card for her to give to some friends.  

It's an okay card....I have made another two that I much prefer but one is for DT so can't share yet.

I have started with a blue base card as the couple getting married are sailing people....so I was thinking water.  I rounded the corners and added a layer of this beautiful vellum paper with roses on.  This is the last piece. :-(  Then I added the ribbon and attached a bow.  Finished by adding some gold wedding stickers from the Sticker Store.  I added a bling to each heart.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crafts and Me #30 - Ribbons ends 20th April

Creative Craft World - Love and Marriage ends 26th April

Scrapbook Sisters - Wedding or Anniversary ends 26th April

Here is another Bukuro bag that I made.  I used slightly smaller pieces of material on this one and it has turned out so cute.  I hope everyone is having fun creating these bags.

Bukuro Bag

Morning everyone, a start of a new week.  Wonder what this one has in store for us all.

I am sharing another Bukuro Bag that I have made.   These are so much fun.  I have another three to share over time.  The lovely fabric on the outside of this bag I received from Mandy in one of our Fat Quarter Swaps at Craftmad.  Isn't it lovely.  I teamed it up with a small flower print fabric I picked up from Spotlight.

I also made another clown card to share with you but discovered my camera is out of battery.   So that will have to wait until tomorrow.  

Denise of Stamping Vacation has set us Design Team members a challenge.  

We are seeing who can get the most entries for their challenges.  

So my plan is to make a clown card a day until my next challenge and hope to inspire many of you to enter in this fun challenge.

When I Grow Up Challenge - Theme is Clowns which could be clowns, red noses, big shoes, clownlike hair.  So enter your wonderful creations here so I can visit and see them.  

You will be entered to try and win the $25.00 gift voucher to the store of your choice drawn 1st May.

Have a wonderful Monday.....off to hang out some more clothes.

Bukuro Bag

This month over at Craftmad our sewing swap was a Bukuro Drawstring Bag. This was so much fun to make and all you need are two fat quarters and some ribbon.... oh, and a sewing machine.

This is not my swap bag as I forgot to take a photo before I sent it away.  I will show you when my partner posts a photo of it in the gallery.  I enjoyed making the swap bag so much I have another five on the go here and one is going to a special friend who has been very patiently waiting for a package from me.

I started with a fat quarter the (outside fabric) that I received from Cathy in last months sewing swap which we swapped two fat quarters. I have teamed it up with a plain yellow fat quarter.  Since this is a Japanese style bag...to get the shape you use a little origami.   Finished it with a yellow cross grain ribbon.
