Fairies All Done

At last, I am ready to send off my Fairy Booklet pages to Karla's Swap.  Whew.  I have spent many many hours of pure fun on this project.  I go into Karla's swaps with no fear because 1) I know she is game for just about anything 2) I know I will get some wonderful pages in return.  I was losing a bit of steam with just 2 pages left to do.  I made a quick trip to my friend in Salem, which requires a stop at her nearby craft store, The Craft Warehouse.  While I dithered in the scrapbook section, she was browsing the fabric fat quarters.  And that's where she took me to point out some perfect fabric.   Just the thing I needed to get to the finish line.  In the top pic I used as background a botanical pattern, with the fairy "fussy cut" using my Grandma's pinking shears. 

 These little fairies are surely sisters.  Stitched onto a sheet of old hymnal paper, with a bit of batting for dimension and some bling. 

Background here is another of the fabrics I found in the fat quarter section.  I thought this little sprite showed the spirit of an early explorer.  Allrighty then...next.
