I painted a Kaisercraft Advent Calendar box and also painted the drawers and inside and out.

I finished the top of with timber alphas. I papered the centre opening with Couture Creations Vintage Rose Garden and added a couple of miniature cupboards filled with various craft and sewing notions, miniatures of some of my greeting cards. I also added a sewing machine and mannequin. I filled the drawers with tiny plastic containers filled with beads, sequins buttons and various small craft items.   I would like to add my project to the following challenges:   Cr

Some more photos today of my Circus project for the Royal Queensland Show.      This is the last of the rotating panels   Views of the inside of the carousel showing the golden tent pole.

This is my Circus project which I entered into the Fine Arts Section of the Royal Queensland Show ..or the Ekka as we call it in  Queensland. I was thrilled to be awarded first prize as well as Best Exhibit in the Scrapbooking section. I started with a Dusty Attic Photo Carousel which I painted. I have used Graphic 45  Le Cirque for the project   I have layered the rotating panels with Graphic 45 patterned papers. I cut and 3d -ed the clowns, acrobats and animals etc with each panel showing a different aspect of the circus. I embossed black card for the top and bottom edges and added stars rhinestones and tiny 3d clowns and acrobats The laser cut panels are fixed so I cut and layered a carousel horse for each of these         Views of the other rotating panels.   More photos of my circus project tomorrow.   I would like to add my project to the following challenge :   Crafting Musketeers

This is my  second pocket card for the Craft Mad June swap.   I have used Graphic 45 Typography papers and tags as well as a Spellbinders die for the edge of the  pocket. I think this card would also be suitable to give to a man.     

Our swap theme for June over at Craft Mad was to swap two pocket cards. I used Graphic 45 Come Away With Me papers and tags for my first card and added a paper flower.
