Outer Space Adventure

Hi everybody! The next dehoarding project is a mini book using Bo Bunny's Blast Off collection. I tried coptic binding for the first time. To all bookbinders, please avert your eyes now. It's better, believe me:


Hi Ihr alle! Das nächste Enthortungs Projekt ist ein Minibuch, für das ich Bo Bunnys Blast Off Kollektion verwendet habe. Ich habe mich das erste Mal an einer koptischen Bindung versucht. An alle Buchbinder, bitte wendet Eure Augen ab. Es ist besser. Glaubt mir:

Because I didn't have the coordinating stickers, I used stickers from October Afternoon's Rocket Age collection. The file folders, that make great pockets, are from Lori Whitlock. Ok. That's it for today! Have a fun day!


Weil ich nicht die passenden Sticker aus der Kollektion hatte, habe ich Sticker aus October Afternoons Rocket Age Kollektion verwendet. Diese Mappen, die tolle Taschen ergeben, sind von Lori Whitlock. Ok. Das wars für heute! Habt einen spassigen Tag!

Turned down projects - sorry for the ramblings

Hello! Today I thought I'd share two projects that I had submitted to the Paper Crafts May/June call. I have to admit that I was really disappointed that none of my projects was accepted. I knew one day this would happen and I've been trying to not take an acceptance email for granted. I didn't want to be arrogant, but I was really being spoilt. So I was very sad when I saw the message on facebook that all the emails had been sent out. From now on, I will try to be modest. I don't want anybody to think that I am conceited. It is just the one thing that I love and seem to be able to do pretty well. Creating things from paper. It's my passion. And it made me ambitious. And although I am working hard on my projects, I haven't lost the fun in creating. It is my therapy and the first thing I want to do when I am not able to spend time with my daughter. Because she certainly is the most important thing. That is the reason why I am not leaving many comments on blogs. I would love to be able to give back all the love I receive from my sweet blogworld friends. Because their support means so much to me. But I never want to neglect my child. She is real life after all. Oh my, I guess I am chatty today :) Sorry for my ramblings!


Here are two of the projects that I made for the "quotes for teachers and grads" feature:

Have you seen today's new release post over at PTI? Haha, I thought my idea was so clever :) . I made my door with paper hinches. These new dies will make this much easier.


The inside of the door:

And the second project, a fun giftcard holder/photo holder:

I used a mix of Simple Stories papers + stickers and Basic Grey paper here. Love this huge clothespin. 


Ok, that's it for today. Sorry for all the blah again!


Don't forget to leave a comment on my blog hop post by midnight today for the chance to win a copy of the 365 Cards magazine!


Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day!


Hugs and Love,
Vanessa
