I've been a crafting fool!

These past few days have been very busy for me. I have been working on some paper craft projects to submit as samples for an upcoming holiday fair I want to participate in. I submitted photos of my projects, and...I was accepted! I'm super excited about this fair. It's one of the most prestigious ones held in my area, and my other crafting friends say that they always have a good time at this one. It's a large fair on Bainbridge Island, and from what I understand, they advertise over in Seattle, so business should be good! If you're in the area and want more information, here's the link.

Here's a slide show of what I've been working on these past few days. Please tell me what you think as I would love any input (good or bad) on these items. Thanks!!

I LOVE the stationery set, I think your clipboard needs something else...and I think the bow on the Christmas thing is too big, I think the door hangers are really cute and the vacation notes are awesome! Good luck!!!

Thanks for your feedback, Martha! I didn't know what else to put on the clipboard b/c I wanted it to be functional vs. artsy. Any suggetions on that one would be appreciated!!

OK, I just had to wipe drool off my screen! I love that door hanger with the zoo theme. Where did you get that patterned paper? If I could get my hands on that paper, I'd take my little man to the zoo just so I could use it! LOL!!!

I can't really tell from the picture but, could you add some ribbon to the clip part of the clip board??? That might give it that extra zing without detracting from it's functionality. :D It's really cute by the way! :D

I am with Erika on the clip board...a bunch of ribbon tied to the clip would give it a little more pizazz.

SUper cute! I think maybe a little ribbon on the clipboard?I will post a picture of the clipboards I altered on my blog. Love love love the cards and the baby hanger things and the frames look like a little ribbon could make them a little happier?

I also love the stationery set. I am interested in the Christmas card. Are those stamps or did you use a mask. I also think some ribbon would help both the frames and the clipboard. If you just tie a simple bow around the bottom of the clipboard, it would dress it up quite a bit. I wish it were fall here. We still have temps in the 90s.
