The Favourite Season

The autumnal crafting is a beautiful way to celebrate this season. Although my thyroid issues are better in summer, I still love autumn more.

Last autumn I had overbooked my schedule because I was so happy to be back home from the studies in a quiet rural area. This year I will try to take things easy, so I can keep up. Blogging happened too be one thing that I couldn't keep up with, but let's try again. I wish I had shared these autumn projects sooner, but it's never too late 😃

The small gift bag with self-made mushroom and leaf motifs.

This hobby is one that I seem to do in cycles. Always feeling like there's something still undone. Paper crafting feels like a good way to take a break from work, where I use computer all the time.😅 Plus a creative hobby where you do something with your hands is suppose to be good for your brains!

This loaded envelope had three envelopes connected together.

Now I better continue cooking some lunch, have a nice weekend!

Spooky Things Move in the Mist

 Halloween is one of my favourite seasonal celebrations with all the things to do and watch.

I may have started early this year, by watching the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, seasons 3 and 4, from Netflix.

There were few spooky and fun craft exchanges last year with Halloween theme. One of them was a three-piece exchange. I most enjoyed doing a tiny zine!

The "zine" of mine was maybe more like a miny magazine than a decorated booklet because I loved making a story! It was an exciting way to use stamps creatively.

The hole package was in a decorated mini grip package:

The zine I made from green copy paper. I used stamping inks and teared paper to create misty background.




The zine had three spreads. My story in a nutshell: The birds spread a message of a party in an old mansion, gathering guests along their way.

The last page, the back cover has the mansion. I wanted to keep the green glow in the building by stamping very ligthly.

There were some happy mail stuff hidden between the pages. I guess the photo of them is lost by now.
However, there were two more craft project in the package. I will make a separate post about them.
