So's arts and crafts

Yesterday I went to  Camelia's May cherries    Fimo workshop...and inspired by the very cute polymer clay cherries we made, today I created a "post-its stand" out of cardstock. Here are my Fimo earrings and necklace made at the workshop ( we received some of the cherries and the leaves ready made from Camelia): I loved her idea so much, that I had to follow it further and create some quilled cherries...:). For some days now, I was thinking of making a "post-its stand" as a present for a colleague of mine, but I couldn't decide how to ornate it...so this workshop came at the perfect moment. Here's my paper version of the cherries: Enjoy!

Hello all, At the end of last year, while visiting one of my best friends in Holland, I bought some cards with the pattern for embroidery pre-printed on them. I like them very much because they are easy to make since the steps related to transferring the design from a stencil to the card, are already done...sometimes I am lazy...:)) Here is one of them: The center topper of the card is  a spirella disk.

Hello, Today I was going through all the pictures of my projects...sorting them out and trying to keep only the best of them...:) Here's what I found... My first baby card, and among the first quilling projects.

Hello, Here is one of the first gift boxes I ever made (more than a year ago). I used  a cardboard box which I covered with a napkin, gave it a vintage look, varnished it, and then covered it's center with some quilling. Then, I needed to think with what to fill it...:) something original and sweet, as it was ment to be a gift for a very dear cousin...So, I bought candied fruits, as many as I could squeez in...:) 

Hello all, since Easter is getting closer, and we all start thinking about gifts, here is a small origami box I made some time ago (before starting the blog...:) ... ). I made it from gift wrap and decorated it with a flower made using a heart shaped punch and small golden butterflies. Here is the tutorial I used when learning how to fold it: http://foldsomething.com/2010/origami-videos/rectangular-box-with-lid/
