Shop.gurl crafty stuff

"Show in tell! Show in tell!"
When the Shop.gurls come in to work exclaiming show in tell with a box or bag in tow I know I'm in for something good. And you know how I love to show off what they have been up too!

Fenn-I did this in two days and on a budget-eke

This girl is bubble craft machine! Check out this album she put together for her church congregation to gift to a leaving reverend. Given just notes of paper with messages on, she made the album completely from scratch using just page refils, hard chipboard, handmade paper, eyelets and raffia.

Each page has well wishes to the Reverend and embellished with cut out patterned paper.

Fenn's handy tip: To make shaped paper backgrounds for a smaller album use a photocopy machine to copy and reduce a purchased shaped paper and cut out. This is now your template to trace around the patterned paper of your choice at the size you wish. Cool idea!

Sharon-I finished these at 4am this morning-Reed

Not being one to sleep when she gets on a roll. Sharon has made 7 mini canvases - one for each grandchild each using a photograph of the child and a selection of trims, flowers and leaf embellishments. What gorgeous gifts!

Shimmery lilac for girls...

Sharon's handy tip: To create the luminenct shimmery effect, Sharon sprayed her canvases with Glimmermist after painting them with acrylic paint. She also sprayed the flowers and embellishments with Glimmermist and allowed them to dry before attaching with sticky dots. Preetty!

... and night sky black for boys.

So what's your Show'n'tell? We'd love to show off what your lovely craft projects.
