Pretty pink hearts

 

Being Valentines Day I thought I'd post some pretty paper hearts I recently made for the Good Mail Club.  They're made from that soft Japanese paper which I cut, coloured and stitched together. I wish I had made more! I am not big on Valentines Day but it has been lovely this year receiving some pretty mail in the post. I will post pictures when it all arrives :)

 

So readers, have a 'love"-ly day!! I'm so glad you take the time to pop by for a read. I am always surpried when a friend mentions something they've read here - sometimes I wonder if anyone reads this little blog :)

How I have been amusing myself lately...

I've been making cards!

I have found it rather relaxing and a lot of fun.

I've used my old wooden printing blocks for these 'wordy' ones.

There's that Washi tape!

I've also made use of tissue paper and some sweet rubber stamps.

Each one has a matching envelope too. Fancy, huh?

It all started because I made these gift tags and was having too much fun.

See what you can do with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a big HECS debt???

I do laugh about that a bit.



I did start making a washi tape tree but the shape was wrong so now it's just a prototype :)

Can I ask you guys what you think? Be honest, constructive criticism welcomed - you can post anonymously!!

Which ones do you like best? (if any that is!)

ps. yes I did try to iron out the wrinkles in the fabric, but hey, let's keep it real :)

pps. how exciting is it that The Block starts on tv tonight? Woohoo!!
