Dreams



I am a fan of Debby Hughes' work, her fab blog is here

This is my very-influenced-by-Debby card (small peg + twine + sequins + angled layers), I hope she doesn't mind!

Sentiment stamp by Clearly Besotted, punch by SU
Sequins are Doodlebug and the tiny dots are the inner bits - I used a cocktail stick to dab a teeny amount of Glossy Accents direct to the card and then dropped the dot on top.

Small peg I have had about a decade and that is not an exaggeration, used to make 'washing line' cards with them many years ago...

New Home



Chevron paper is by Fancy Pants
Sentiment stamp is Waltzingmouse
Die-cut has been in my stash for a very long time!




Covered a giant peg to match, it's about six inches high. I love these pegs for using as receipt holders/ paperweights.

Peg


I'd been looking for some over-sized pegs for a very long time with absolutely no luck. I think part of the problem was I have no idea what the correct name for them is so Google just brought up normal wooden clothes pegs.
Anyway I finally discovered them in a craft shop at Embsay near Skipton. They have a website here.



I wasn't sure whether or not to take the pegs to bits and then paint/ varnish. My worry was that I would not be able to put them back together! I know there's not much to a peg but sometimes in the past I have painted things and it has altered them somewhat with regards to size, ie drawers no longer fitting etc.

So for the first one I decided to keep it simple and just slap some patterned paper on, adhered with Mod Podge. Paper, button and seam binding all by Stampin' Up.

I purposely put the paper on upside down because I knew I would mostly be using the peg upside down too, as a memo holder.



Literally a five minute project :)
