Both very cool projects. I nearly passed out at the sight of the hessian flower though, I've just finished cutting 400 hessian pennants for my sister's wedding, and I now look at hessian with fear and dread lol! The metal closures are gorgeous! Creative Blessings, Tracy x

Super creative work Carol and it all looks so very tactile, one of those you want to reach out and stroke if you know what I mean.

Many thanks for sharing with us at Penny Black and More and Stamping Sensations challenges.

Very interesting - First vap starter box I've seen and I'm sure who ever recieves will love that lock! Thanks for sharing at the PIP challenge this week.

Awesome hardware on both these projects, and I love that you've got the burlap texture on the flower of #1. Like the 'mixed media' effect on the journal cover, and ditto the cardboard recycle. Both are very impressive in the details & styling! TFS & Hugs
