Advent Presents .... and there's more!

I'm enjoying opening a present everyday from

 Victoria

my partner for the Advent swap.

 

The photo above shows presents from days 16 to 20,

a photo frame, some Christmas snowflakes, a diary, some

craft papers (in one of my favourite colours) and a

delightful crocheted flower brooch.

 

Days 21 to 22 are below

 

 

Are these gorgeous, or are these gorgeous!

A veritable bouquet of crocheted flowers

and a trio of hearts - I have a last discovered

why the box of presents smelled of lavender - the

red and white heart is filled with it and I love lavender!

 

Thanks again Victoria x

 

Here now are some of the presents I made for Victoria.

 

 

Four blank birthday cards using Laura Ashley papers

for the background and Tim Holtz/Alterations

'Sewing Room' dress maker's die.

 

Here's the inside

 

 

Next is a jar of 'pretty pink and green things'

(Victoria's favourite colours)

 

I decopatched the lid of the jar and  attached

some pink ribbon around it.

 

 

Finally, another Post-It Note holder

(I previously made a more modern one, but this is in a

vintage style)

Using a base fabric, I machine stitched a collage of various scraps 

together. I transferred the image to fabric using the technique

'Inkject Transfer'  

 as described by Leandra on the Paperartsy's blog.

The little rectangle is metal and embossed with

 a Vintaj DecoEmboss by Sizzix. 

There is a small crocheted flower on there too.

Once it was complete, I attached it to the mountboard cover

with Pinflair Bookbinding Glue.

 

Just three more days to go!!

Thanks for looking :)
