a couple new cards

I've been working on some new cards the last few days. They will all be added to the picasa album. Here, I would like to show just a couple.
This one is a simple, "duplicate" cutout from cardstock, with scrapbooking paper on the front. The flowers have been stamped and cut out from scrapbooking paper as well. The idea popped into my head yesterday at work, so I had to quickly make a model out of some used manila folder, so that I wouldn't forget :)

This card features fragments of images from some marketing pieces. I love the colors and i couldn't possibly let such bright materials go straight to the recycling bin!
I also used buttons and my favorite "cotton" lace. I'm not sure if it's really cotton, probably not, but that's what I'm calling it in my little crafting world.

For the weekend, I'm very much looking forward to a trip to Indiana Dunes - we are trying to get a group of seven people from our Polish church to travel together first time EVER. Should be exciting - there is a lot of nature to see there and also some old farms and artefacts. Yay!

tea lights

I've been asked for some ideas suitable for inexpensive wedding table decorations. The lady has already purchased large candles and she has hurricane lamps, as well as some ribbon. I thought tea lights like these could be scattered on the tables - inexpensive, really easy to color-coordinate, and also not very time-consuming to make.

finished!

I delivered 44 items (mostly hearts) to the Shelter today. I feel like I have run a marathon :) Hopefully, the visitors at Lombard fair will like them, and also everything else other crafters have produced for the event.
Individual photos of the pieces can be viewed here.

The next show is in two weeks and I'm sure the time will just fly by! For now, this weekend's to-do list is already filling up. One interesting item of business is coming up with some suggestions for economical wedding decorations for the family where I teach Polish. The color scheme is lovely: yellow, orange and green, and I do have a couple ideas swirling around in my head already... I will share when they become reality!
