COWARAMUP CHRISTMAS FAIR Saturday 20th 2010








Yup it's over for another year!
The annual cowtown christmas fair - hot and muggy day but a lovely light breeze.
thanks everyone who came to say hi!
Next weekend is the Happs Winery christmas craft fair- so come and join us in Dunsborough on the lawn for a glass of Happs Fushia - a satay stick and do some christmas shopping!
I'll have loads of stocking fillers so come along and get a bargain.
See you there! xxx

Custom made 2 page bag order- Heba



















This order was lots of fun! The request was for lunch bag albums with only 2 bags- 4 pages
the themes were friends and memories.
I tried to do 3 different styles show casing my diversity and different scrapbook skills.
Looking forward to your comments

finished album
IT"S FINISHED!!!
Beautiful purple and pearl custom made album
I am so pleased with the final result- especially as it uses my favourite colors!!
I’ve kept it all really simple with the dark purple/plum/violet purple colour being the focal point.
I’ve layered and layered tones of the papers and gone mad using the most beautiful ‘moonstone’ cream/ pearl (with a purple tinge in the light) as well as the shimmer paper I designed for STAMP IT RUBBERSTAMPS a few years ago. Very luxurious and really luscious
The photo matts are all embossed by hand and I have attached a ribbon/braid over the top so that the photos can slide underneath- a real feature.
I have embossed heaps of panels and added many extra features.
See the many many photo’s for details!!!
Looking forward to your comments
Cheers Leonie J

WIMWSW? What's in MY work studio wednesday!!




Maybe it should be what WAS on my work desk Wednesday?
70 rolls of 6ft hay safely carted - ongoing drama with the truck heavily loaded trying to get bogged down the sand track out of the paddock. fairy just closes her eyes and sticks her foot down!
One day it will so not be a good story- at least i have yet to take out any strainer assembly's! ( gates and posts)
175 carted so far ONLY another 760... sigh.
BUT on happier news have nearly finished my purple pearlescent beauty.
Then onto flirty purses,some mini bag lunch bag albums, and journals for the lovely Heba.
Oh and happy news have sold out of nearly all of newly listed paper bag albums so must "force" myself to create some more... geez life's tough! NOT- cant wait!
have a fairy happy day
happy WOYWW?
