More from my inspiration table...

I've managed to get hold of some more pics from my Inspiration table (that I started writing about back in October, here) 

I totally forgot to takes pics myself on the day!

'Apple' Waterfall card

The apple on this card gradually gets eaten as you pull the tab at the bottom :)

I found this tutorial on UTube and just had to give it a try.

'Pear' Apron card
I cased this one from a previous incarnation back here

Mini notecard wallet
Based on this one that Michelle Last made  ...

Sewing Kit...in a jar 
Oh the joy of Mason jars! I made a little pin/needle book, button tag thing and a scissor holder, that all fitted into the jar along with a tape measure and 2 cotton reels which I wrapped with SU ribbons :)

The lid comes in 2 parts so I took some Orchard Harvest fabric, popped some wadding underneath it and voila! The funky pear was actually taken from a pattern for a doorstop ( I scaled it down somewhat to make a pin cushion!)

Birthday Book

Finally finished this Birthday book that I started at  Michelle Last's Bicester Craft Day (back in October) for my mum's birthday last week (her fav colour is purple).

I filled it chock full of handmade cards (there's space for 12, but I doubled up on some of the pages)  and she really loved it :)

Book plate stamp and one of the cards in the book

I even got a chance to try out my first giant stamp- the "book plate" in elegant eggplant ink. It's big enough to be a card on its own, after one print (and a little embellishment) but I just used it as a book plate for the inside cover this time.

Here's a couple more cards I put inside:

(also made at the Craft Day)

Thank You Owly >>

(well you don't just need birthday cards :p)
