• Various blooms and bling from stash



• Sentiment stamp punched and layered

Cute Bag Alert...

I'm not a big sewer, but I am a big hoarder of material. I think I've found the perfect (easy sew) pattern to show off some of my stash:

Rae does lots of other patterns and her blog is full of inspiration. Here's the link to get the pattern, which is only $8:

Dusting off the BIA

My poor BIA thinks I've disowned it. Not likely, but I did lose all my wires for 8 months during the move. However, now rediscovered, I have put them to good use with some lovely flocked paper, but I can't for the life of me remember where it's from!

Size A5, will be used for some pics of the house renovations I think.
