A Loaded Pocket

 Hello everyone. I am super excited to share my make with you today which is is my DT piece for


It's an Anything Goes Challenge this time with the option of Anything But a Card. 

I have been doing a bit of junk journal making and have been intrigued by
 "Loaded Pockets" so I did this...


I used the cute pre-coloured Holly Hedgehog from our sponsor, Polkadoodles, and a tutorial from Septeria 18 here  (honestly I can lose hours watching her making fabulous paper creations). The pocket itself uses only one piece of 6x6 paper (of which I have loads and settled on a very old My Minds Eye pad) then using papers from the same collection made a little note book, adorned with a tassel, a windmill and some tags. I fancied up some tiny pegs, and in doing so managed to pop the springs off of both so that caused a bit of swearing I can tell you!! There is also a heavy acetate tag around which I wrapped several lengths of co-ordinating washi tape. Oh and I finished the edge with some red pom pom trim that I found. LOVED making this and hope you will be inspired enough to take part over at 
The Cutie Pies challenge blog.

That's all for now, I hope that you are all keeping well.

Toodle pip for now xx

I always admire makes like this Sarah, but what do you do with them afterwards? Love all those autumnal shades of DP, it really is a great way to use up those papers from our stashes. Bit nippy this morning but no frost. The sheep have been taking a bit more hay so they obviously felt the drop in temps last night. Warming up this week though, crazy! :)

What a fun idea with all the tags Sarah.

So.......the weekend was spent 'pony shopping', very few available it seems and ended up going to the outskirts of London. But a worthwhile viewing and Penelope a Section A will be joining us this week. She looks like a dapple with a dorsal stripe but her passport has her down as a dun. That works well for me as I had a dun to teach my children to ride.
