The papers are all My Minds Eye Hootenanny and I have layered them with some Bazzill cardstock (not sure which blue colour it is...). I have embellished with a doily, bling and the sentiments etc are all cut from one of the sheets of paper from the pad and some are then on 3D pop up dots.

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....
