    Default My crafting results

    Yesterday was a crafting day for me. I made several projects, but wanted to share three of them. These are cards. My favorite one is the quilted one, but I also like the teacup one. All of them were easy to make, but very complicated. It took forever to piece the quilt card. The doily on the teacup card is hand made, and if I do it again, I'll probably buy a paper doily to use.

    Oh....they are so unique! I would be thrilled to receive something so creative. And I think I like the teacup best. But maybe because I still have my cup and saucer collection, so it caught my eye. But I think that the little tag's sentiment is what really won me over!

    Looks like you had a great crafting day there! It's easy to see how much you loved making those! Thanks for posting for us!
