Steampunk Debutante

Don't even ask me what that means.  It is the name of a line of scrapbook paper that I love for its funky designs.  I made a book with the paper.  Love the colors.  Lots of imagery.  Take a look!

Etsy shop Opened "CreativeOneDesigns"

I have opened a store on Etsy for various handmade items.  I'll be busy making some stuff to sell and going through my stash of projects to finish.  As usual I have more ideas than I have time to finish.  I've included photos of 2 new items here.  The Flap Fold Book.  Happily, the first 7 items of origami folded fabric bags sold already - all to one buyer!  That's a good feeling!

Star Light, Star Bright

A pack of scrapbooking papers, ribbon, double sided tape, waxed thread, and some embellishments went into making this 5 1/2 inch star book.

The papers include glittered, metallic and flocked accents and

were

all a nature/garden theme.

A little trouble with the coptic sewing. I could not recall exactly how to connect each of the 7 signatures. And, once I knotted the thread I couldn't go back and re-do without damaging the paper. So, I covered them up with more ribbon 'n bows!
