Paper Gift Bag



This is a paper bag that I made from a 12 x 12 sheet of patterned paper.   

Altered Paint Brush



This is not my original idea but saw it on Pinterest and had to give one a go.  I painted the brush white and stained around the edges with my walnut stain.  The white doily I crocheted myself and layered one of my handmade flowers on top of that.  The little pink butterfly was made with ribbon and felt.  I made a dangle with beads to match the color scheme and ran a strip of eyelet lace and flat pearl string around the brush.I stamped the word INSPIRE on to remind me to stay inspired while I am working in my craft room.  At the top I made a hanger with some narrow ribbon and embellished it with flat string pearl and small roses.

Decorative Gift Bag



This is a gift bag that I made out of patterned card stock.  I embellished it with a paper doily and used my spellbinders dies to make the matt.  There is a lace bow and a punched flower with a gem in the center.  I attached eyelets at the tops and made a handle with matching lace.

Card...



A card I made and embellished with a string of sequins and added two images.  Also added a lace flower that I made.




Shabby Card


Very simple card using a piece printed image.  I embellished with a row of sequins bind the picture.  Also, some puzzle pieces I altered and a felt rolled rosette.

Simple Card





A simple card using an image cut from the paper I had from a swap.  I'm sorry do not know the name of the paper line.  Embellished with a lace bow and a puzzle piece that I painted pink and then embossed with Utee and attached a Wild Orchid rose to in the middle.
