Hoodie's Home

I finished the little chair I was playing with and then Donna of Doings of Doone reminded me that the little Hoodie doll she had made was designed to hang so I might have a few problems with her sitting in a chair...

So I thought I would make her a little school room to reside in.. and she will be atatched to a hook in the ceiling so will hopefully sit up nice and straight like a good school girl... ;)

so made sure there was a blackboard and a school clock... and in deference to her origins added a little easel and canvas so that she has a well rounded education!

added her name to the wall with some alphabet stickers underneath..

made her some books so that she doesn't get bored...

The papers are all from Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 range which seemed to suit the schoolroom perfectly and I used the offcuts of foam board from my light box project to make the 'school room'.

Family Mini Album

A mini album I have just finished to put all the family photos in we took just before leaving the UK - when the kids actually get around to emailing me them! (Hint hint)...

I used the sticky back suede and lace I found in the 'scrap shop' in Khobar and added some crystal danglies, sewed some beads into the lace and then added some Primas and bling with my Bejeweller!

Can you ever have too much bling? LOL

Used my BIA to bind it but made the covers so that the wires weren't visible, its going to be laods easier to do this look when the Coverals by Zutters hit the shops - I can't wait to get my mitts on them!

Used Cosmo Cricket Fleuriste papers - I love this range, add some ink and you get this lovely aged looking album.

Used loads of chipboard shapes and covered them with paper, I love the look of a fat book!
