LOL - lots of luck!

LOL - lots of love, laugh out loud -

how about lots of luck?

I made these little folders based on the official

National Lotto one you can see above.

 It opens up to reveal two plastic compartments

designed to hold a lottery ticket.

I used Sheena Douglass technique again - faux leather

as shown in her YouTube video.

I made four wallets with one piece of A4 Kraft Cardstock.

I embossed them with a St Patrick's background folder

by Darice, and coloured them with Distress Ink -

Peeled Paint, and one of the brown colours (I can't

remember which one it was now)

Inside, I lined them with some Tim Holtz

Eclectic Elements fabric.

For the plastic inserts, I cut two pieces of acetate

(which I'd saved from some packaging or other)

and machine stitched them on.

The stitching is a bit wonky - don't look too closely!

You might be able to see the plastic insert a 

little better in the above picture.

I finished them off with a little fabric tag and

attached a shamrock charm - for good luck!

I like the really worn, shabby look -

and uneven stitching - all adds to their charm!

The question now is, will they bring me good luck

with the lottery?

I'd better buy a ticket first, that'd help.

LOL - lots of love and luck to you all xx
