playing with paper...
I spent a lovely afternoon the other day, playing with pretty papers & making some gift tags. I use these to write a little thank you note to send with my jewellery. They are also good if I need a tag for a gift, lol.
I started by cutting some plain card to size (these are about 8cm x 5.5cm). We have a generous stash of scrap-booking supplies, so I raided that for some nice colours.
Once I had my base, I got out the fancy papers (most of the ones I used are washi paper) & started putting them together. I picked colour combinations I liked & stuck to quite simple designs - either following the lines of the fancy paper, or cutting geometric shapes. A little scrap-booking glue & voilà a nice stack of gift tags.

a photo project in four parts...
Earlier this year when I was brainstorming ideas for this blog & other projects, the phrase 'month of mornings' popped into my head. Originally I was just going to take a photo every morning for a month, but then I started thinking about seasons & which month I would pick....
Eventually I decided that I would take a months worth of photos, but in four parts - one week each season. So this week I am taking a photo every summer morning, in a couple of months I will take a week of autumn morning photos & so on...
...naturally I also have a few extra photos from each day (& it's only day 2, lol)...
(I will post week 1 early next week)
summer | autumn | winter | spring

enchanted forest { the teleidoscope }
a natural enchantment - week #5 of The Teleidoscope - Enchanted Forest
*there won't be very many teleidoscope posts from me this year (just the occasional one or two), but a combination of an appealing theme & an opportunity to visit Wirrabara Forest this week was too much to resist...
