It's amazing what I can get done -- and quickly! Here are some of my latest creations.
I dyed the tags, stamped the fabric, sewed the stamped sections down to red and white ticking, wrapped the tags with vintage laces. Yes, I know that Stampington & Co. sells these fabric tags, but they are easy to replicate. Especially if you have the Bonjour Cavallini stamp set. Short story on that Bonjour stamp set: I had bought a duplicate set several years ago. Listed it on Etsy and it sold immediately. Since then I have had three inquiries from Etsy people wanting to know if I had any more sets. Hmm! Cavallini doesn't make that stamp set anymore.
I have a roll of wonderful vintage wallpaper that is white with a heavy flocked pattern. I created a fancy envelope sometime back and posted it on my blog. Well, I was wondering what to do with a small left over bit of the wallpaper. Here is what I did first:
I made another envelope and decorated it.
On both sides. This is front since the flap is on the other side.
Then I decided to cover a composition notebook with the same wallpaper and this beautiful Paper Whimsy image. Now, I have a question for you artists. The glove is an orphan and even though it is made of thin nylon, it is still a bit bulky in order to glue down the image. Any suggestions on what to do? I am afraid that since the image sits above the surface of the notebook that it would catch on things and eventually be torn off. Should I cut the glove up and expose only the fingers and the ruffled cuff? Should I mount the image on bits of chipboard so that it sits above the glove? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The tags are just adorable... I have not been in blogland lately and it was so refreshing to read your post.
About the composition book. What if you sewed the image to the glove? Hugs, CeCe
