Two little shares

Just two things to share today.

Firstly a card for my niece Sienna's first birthday. I never buy cards, I always make them, but I never love what I make. But I do love this one so it's going on my blog. :) I thought I was pretty clever sewing these sequins together. It wasn't easy! I ended up using a glue stick to stick them to paper, then sewing them together and ripping away the paper. It worked pretty well! I always like to add a monogram to cards too. I have heaps of leftover odd letters (don't we all!) so it's a great way to use them. And it's always nice to get a card that's a little personalised.

And this is for Sienna's big brother Cooper's album. Did you know you must use five pegs to hang a baby's singlet?

Darn those fuzzy rub-ons are hard to apply!

Wow, that is a beautiful card, the sequins are gorgeous! And man they sound hard to apply! LOL!

Did you paste a pattern piece over the basic grey paper on Cooper's page? It looks really cool!
