Last weekend I decided to tidy up my (craft)room cause lately I’ve been putting my
crafty bits (especially my stack of papers and my hand-designed templates) all
together in one big pile. It was at a stage I couldn’t see what I have. And
of course it doesn’t make me want to start crafting as I first have to dig ;-)
So
I gave a big clean up and while organising my blank cardboards and patterned
papers, I came across a booklet of free patterned papers (that I got from Papercrafter ) (*).
What a
shame I haven’t used them yet. Let’s change that right away. And… why not using them or at least some of
them to design a serie of frames with…hummmm….birds (let’s celebrate spring). That's a deal!
Let's start with drawing a bird on cardboard so it can be used as template
and let’s pick some papers.
The idea is
to make a serie of frames with a big bird in the center. The bird will be decorated with all sorts of embellishments (flowers,
buttons, doodles…) assorted to the background paper. And then it'll be framed.
Let’s see
the results in a next post…

Papercrafter is the renewed version of Let’s make cards.
