I am very surprised at myself because this week I actually made something for a challenge .... the PaperArtsy challenge to be precise. In quite a few years of crafting now I think I've only made 2, possibly 3 things for a challenge. However, I've really been enjoying the fabulous inspiration from the guest designers over on the PaperArtsy Blog and this week has seen some wonderful stuff from France Papillon. Her second project was a couple of wooden spool keyrings which I really liked and as I already had the ingredients to make one myself decided to have a go.
I'm not going to give any details on how I did it because the wonderful France has done a video HERE showing exactly what to do and I pretty much followed it so here are the photos of my efforts.

The stamps I used are all PaperArtsy from HPXT03, HP1008 and mini 62 (love this little script stamp and I think it was the first PaperArtsy stamp I bought).
It's my little granddaughter's school summer (? what summer) fayre next Wednesday and they are asking for 'unusual' items for their tombola stall so I think I might make a couple more of these to donate.
Have a good weekend everyone and I hope it stays a bit dryer for you than it's been here the past couple of days ........ we have had some horrendous downpours the past couple of nights especially.
Till next time
Hugs
