"Farmhouse Hobbies"
A kit that reminds me of the library and sewing rooms at my grandma's farmhouse, full of books, decorated with quilts and lovely bits of hand crocheted lace and doilies :
A closer look at the papers ( lovely mash-up of Crate Paper, Jillibean Soup, Jenni Bowlin, Studio Calico, and some cardstock):
And some of the fun extras:
I hand stamped and embossed some white on kraft journaling spots:
Some brand new stamps that I have been dying to try from swissgirl Designs, My Mind's Eye Sweetest Thing, and some Tim Holtz embossing folders:
Of course, my kit wouldn't be complete without washi tape:
I threw in some gorgeous Graphic 45 chipboard buttons:
And I handmade lots of fun goodies:
Paper flowers that I cut with my Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet cart and textured paper:
Jumbo paper clips with felt bows:
And then, of course, I had to meet the challenge to make 3 CHA inspired items:
Here are the items that I was inspired by:
Jenni Bowlin wired vellum feathers (I loved, loved, loved these!)
Studio Calico Mr. Huey's Masks (I cut mine out of a cheap plastic file folder, and the plastic sheet that comes with the Cricut mats with my Cricut and SCAL)
There are so many more things from CHA that I loved, but this will give me a little bit of a "fix", and I think I will have fun playing with my "new" goodies this month!
Now, it's time to visit the other Master Forgers, and see what they have come up with for their kits this month!
