This design is centered around the stamp of the "lad".
I have found it difficult to locate stamps that are suitable for boy cards and this stamp was a nice find. I tried to keep it simple (my daughter says "NO BLING!" to me often) 'cos boys just aren't drawn to all that ribbon and stuff are they?
I began working working with paper crafts late last year and after a few months off over Christmas, I have become a little more adventurous (for me anyway).
I love preparing these little journals and use stamping in the process. It is such a nice little gift for someone and lots of uses for it too.
Pippin is an 18cm porcelain doll that I made, then dressed in Fimo for a project that was in Australian Dolls Bears and Collectables earlier this year.
I don't know who named him "Pippin" because I think he should be known as "Bruiser" because he always looks ready for the next bit of mischief.
Anyway he sells very well for me and most doll collectors seem to like him too.
This seven inch doll is porcelain and dressed in low fire medium called Sculpey or Fimo.
She was featured in a project in the Australian Dolls Bears and Collectables magazine along with two other dolls earlier this year and has proved to be a popular product for me.
In creating this blog, I am hoping to make contact with others who like to create and share nice hand crafts from all disciplines.
I live on a small farm about 125kms from the city and have a quiet environment in which to create. I have two dogs who are great company (sleep all day).
I enjoy crafts such as heirloom sewing, porcelain doll making, smocking, beaded knitting, card making, reading, quilting and the company of some wonderful family and friends.
