Project Life - my album (part two)


Day two! This was made with some photos from our first two holidays together that I'd printed out to put in a framed collage, but I printed waaaaaay too many and so they've been sitting all sad in a drawer for more than a year. Hurrah for liberating the pictures! I don't really like my handwriting on this layout, and I went back to change it a few times. I used more of the gold glittery thicker (which I love), plus some Fine & Dandy papers that I cut from the paper pack. 


"Chopez chopez" was an in-joke between me & Luke when we were in Madrid - we were both hopeless at Spanish and so started making up our own words when talking between the two of us. One evening I told him that "choppez choppez" was definitely Spanish for "hurry up", we'd had just enough Rioja for it to be funny and it became a bit of a catchphrase. It seemed to suit this little guy well... he definitely wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere. 



The following year we went on our first camping trip together to Dorset. Lots of the photos from this trip are up on our walls, but we still had some fun ones that I wanted to put into the album. 


The tag here actually came with a really cute necklace that I bought from Etsy. I loved it and kept it (I'm such a hoarder) and I was so glad! I think it fits perfectly here. 


Post links to your Project Life pictures below, and come back tomorrow to see more... (it went a bit wrong, just to get you intrigued!)

Opinions needed

I have a beautiful, really delicate vintage filigree brooch in the shape of a butterfly. The trouble is, I can't decide whether to make it into a necklace or a bracelet. What do you guys think? (Sorry about the blurry photo - that's what happend when I only have my phone, not the proper camera):

Explosion in a jewellery box

It took me ages to find a pretty way to store the jewellery for my Folksy shop . I didn't want it to get muddled up with my own jewellery, but at the same time I didn't just want to stick it all in a box. I also wanted something that I could take with me to craft shows. At first I used a French shabby-chic style mini jewellery mannequin, but it soon got full! Then I found a gorgeous bird-themed jewellery stand. Unfortunately I've been so busy making lovely new items recently that tha's got a bit stuffed too! Oh dear... (Sorry about the picture quality, I had to take them on my mobile) I think it's probably time to buy another jewellery stand. I want one that will complement my existing ones but not exactly the same. Any suggestions will be happily welcomed. And how do you all store your stock? Is it tucked away under a bed or proudly on display to make the most of any visitors?

Win a bracelet!

It's competition time! Would you like to win a one of a kind bracelet made from a vintage brooch, chunky amazonite nuggets, rock crystal, pretty pink Peruvian opal and Swarovski crystals? One that fastens with a cute heart-shaped toggle clasp? I thought so! Just to whet your appetite a bit more, here's a couple of pictures: Because it's nearly Valentine's Day I thought I'd have a bit of a soppy theme. So, to win all you have to do is follow me on Twitter here (if you're not already a follower, if you are you can get retweeting right away) and RT any of my tweets that mention the words "Valentine's", "love", "romance" or "romantic". For each RT you will be entered into the draw (no more than one an hour, though!). For two bonus entries, just blog about Made With Love or this competition. The competition runs until midnight on February 9th and I will be announcing the winner then via this blog. Good luck!
