Home Decor...

So here is the little wooden tray I was talking about on Friday. I believe it came with little wooden Xmas embellishments in it from QVC about 5-6 years ago...as I said the embellishments have been given away long ago, but I kept the little tray...

I have added Papermania print papers to each of the rectangles and then added pics, stickers, diecuts etc to the inside of each rectangle. I added some bunting made with twine and washi tape and also some "potty people" style ribbon that I got in Hobbycraft.
I love this little tray and it sits in my recently semi tidied craft room...in a little corner that has a few of my cards/projects displayed...

Something Simple....

For a Man in your life....
As most Men don't seem to appreciate the fussy cards, I made something using just papers, cardstock and a sentiment....so pretty simple for me.

I have used papers from the My Minds Eye Kate & Co Oxford Lane paper pad, and also cut one of the sheets that had sentiment type things on, to add the specs. The tie was cut by hand using a tie on one of the pieces of paper as a guide/idea of shape...I then finished off with a quick Craftwork Cards sentiment...

Over the weekend I have a Home Decor item I made using a little wooden tray that came in an old QVC kit I got donkeys years ago...the kit is long gone/given away....but I kept the little wooden embellishment tray....
