By the fab owner of Crafty-Emblies
Miss Judie
i did not know what to do with it and for weeks i saw it looking at me,
lol and i went through some of the scarfs and lace wraps i have,
and this gold one slaped me and i saw it all come together.
 
i had these lovely images so i distressed them to look old i made a stick pin
with lace i got from the haul i got from miss Fiona,
i also used roses and pearl's i also used a flourish from crafty-emblies    
And a lovely key i used the tassels  to go down the side,
added more fibers down the side.

A gift for mums and nans

 
I saw a blog earlier today were the lady did a little calender
i pinched the idea as i was  stuck with what to do with my
little calender.
So thank you doreen

 
I have made 2 of these from an A4 bit of card
cut 2 bits 10cm across and length of A4
then score at
10cm, 21cm, 23cm, 25cm. 
This then gives you your base.
 
 
add tape to the small bit of card and stick to the long bit,
I then stuck some paper so it overlaped to back,
i added some paper to the calender bit and folded it and stuck to back.
 

 










 
 This is a side view so you can see how it comes together.
and decorate as you wish.
thanks for all your wonderful comments.
Love and hugs 
Nicky
