Butterfly collection

I'm never content to be doing the same thing- must be the gemini in me!!
I  have created a new line of "butterfly" paper bag albums using the last of my mariposa papers.
THE BUTTERFLY COLLECTION
Loads of luggage tags (my latest obsession) and fold out flaps.
Although I think my favourite thing is the photo matts.
Which I have turned into pockets by only adhering 3 sides- so you can slip the tags underneath- neat!!
My unmounted cling on "stamp it rubber stamps" set of butterfly stamps came in last week so they also got a work out too.
I have ordered some gorgeous stamps from Stempelglede and cant wait until they arrive!!
3-5 days is wayyyyy to long :-)
So here they are- the new editions to the family.
Seriously wanting to keep the turquoise one- it's a problem!!!
have a great day all
:-)

KT custom made album- Nicky















This masculine album has turned out so well- if i don't mind saying so myself!!!
This 6 1/2 x 61/2 paper bag album has bold colour with heaps of space for creativity.
I have embossed the plain paper and used lots of foiled fleur de lis, no girly ribbon here! 
Striking satin black and organza ribbons along with hidden library pockets and 3 large tags hidden in the pockets. The butterfly paper has been used sparingly and has a touch of gold glitter on the body design.
As an added bonus i made a few flaps ready for embellishments or extra pictures.
Hope you've all had a great day

Simple pleasures make lasting treasures






Oops haven’t had my new stamp’s in the door 5 minutes and have already used them on my latest album!
The lovely Mel from Kaszazz in Bunbury has just delivered a big bag full of goodies.
I've never used kaszazz stamps or products before and I gotta say- impressed!!
They are unmounted and look a bit scrappy- but I gotta tell you the images are crispy clear and i think they will be well used.

So here it is my latest eBay offering
"Simple pleasures make lasting treasures"
a memories paper bag scrapbook album- journal.
As always it's a one off design- i never copy the same layout per bag like many others tend to do, and the papers are nearly the last of that series- DCWV Mariposa.
So here we have it - 
ready for sale

Precious moments- ebay listing available for purchase


All my albums have a particular meaning or theme to them; this one is a “precious moments” a journal for soul searching and to fill full of inspiring special memories that you want to keep forever. I imagine this to be a special album for someone to pop in photos but also to make notes on moments and memories too.
I tend to use a lot of butterflies in my work, they symbolize energy of love and joy!
In ancient mythology the butterfly stands for wisdom and everlasting knowledge.
Butterflies are also transient and symbolize change!

This album has butterflies and birds with A LOT of gold foiling, the handmade heat embossed gold pearlised fleur de lis make this really special. I have used them as “tag holders”. There are approx 22 tags throughout- the backs are blank for you to make hidden notes on.
There are also a few hand stamped positive affirmation words throughout.
I have created for you spaces to be creative- feel free to add photo’s, pictures, quotes that inspire you.
There’s hidden flip up and out panels for secret hidden journaling or photos.
Did you see the handmade bird motifs throughout? These are handmade by Prima and are amazing, they are made from skeleton leaves that have been treated with a pearl finish, and then amazingly decorated with rhinestones and teeny weenie clear beads and glitter.
It is pure quality and a gorgeous finishing touch!
A perfect to give as a gift or if it touches your heart just keep it for yourself!

Let you heart guide you paper bag journal- latest ebay listing

Phew what a week it's been!
I made this album a week ago but have only just had a chance to list in on eBay.
I think subconsciously i didn't want to let it go!!
too late now- it's out on the web in my little shop
 for more pictures or to purchase click here. 





Another night market tonight- set up is at 2.30  and it goes to 9.00pm
Tomorrow back in the fairy van- basic refit is done- just need to find homes and set up displays for all my new stock.


Having a slight panic coz it's a bit of a radical departure from my usual "fairy" stuff.
I have spent all my money on lots of beautiful things that I love and believe in and that have a place- use and meaning. If it doesn't have a story it wont be in the van!


There  will be distinct sections- making it easier to find what you are looking for.
*The fairy section has been reduced down to the basic best sellers- must haves such as wands, fairy dust, snowglobes , wishing fairies as well as a few new surprises. Making it quicker and easier for kids to make choices.

*There’s the inspiration section-, cameo pendants, tarot cards, spirit cards and beautiful things













*Prosperity and abundance – feng shui wind chimes, bells, tibetan singing bowls, charms and good luck statues etc

*dragons - dream dragons, monster munchers nightmare journals, large and small dragons along with a bit of skull stuff for the boys.

Stay tuned for more  details and pictures!!
Pressure will be on tomorrow to finish it for Sunday markets.
have a fairy happy day

There seem to be a heap of new creators in the marketplace.
Having had the run of the market for a while, it's a good poke in the ribs for me to lift my game!
SO hopefully you'll notice more refinement in themes through my creations?


Here is the first of 2011 new work listed on ebay- and the first time i've offered anything internationally. I have done private  custom made albums for people in the USA, Canada, China and the Uk, and have figured I should be 'out there' a a bit more.
