    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

      Thank you for the follow-up message Carol. Of course we have seen your gorgeous fat pages, I remember them very well.

      I really do love this album cover, the more I look at it the more I adore it.

    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.

    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
