Hi you all! Yesterdays was cold, wet and windy here, so I made the best of it - stayed home and crafted. Left my PJs on all day, ate 2 chocolate biscuits and a slice of cake, and plenty of coffee, so the day turned out quite good!
I made some Moos for our theme of insects. I don't have many insect stamps, and even less in this size, but did manage to find a few. The moo on the cover is a 'real' moo card, which I had printed from a part photo of a hanging I made some time back. Here I have just added the butterflies, fluttering in and out.
The little folder has been made of one sheet of double sided cardstock from My Mind's Eye.
I use the paper with the stripes alternating in both directions, and sometimes inside, sometimes outside the pockets.
For the cover I used some leather look paper from India, and the ribbon and beads were from my stash.
This is a little moo card, made to send as a gift card, which has been stamped and glittered with stickles - I love the quote, too.
Here are 2 more which have been stamped over my printed moos. I had a box full made last year using pictures of my paintings. The left one is part of an abstract, the right one was an attempt to paint like Van Gogh.
Here I have used scraps of marbled paper I made last year, once again stamped and stickled.
These were made from the last scrap of the sheet I used to make the album, once again stamped and stickled

This was a fun project!
Have a great day, stay creative, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Wonderful work, Val, just love what you have made - so much variety and love went into this! Hugs, Sarah
