Kerri Smith 100 Ideas~35. Give away something you love~

I am going to stick this photo in my journal for 35. Give away something you love.

I received this Russain Doll Ornament in a swap via Swap-Bot and absolutely loved it. It has been sat on my desk ever since. Recently I created a Russain Doll theme birthday present for a friend and found this mug that matched so well with the ornament that I had to pair them up and send them off together. It was such a hard decision to give it up though as I didn't want to part with it.

 

Have you ever given something away that you love?

Kerri Smith 100 ideas ~layers~

I decided to create a flat entry of layers, I used 5 different designs in paper, 2 different tapes to layer on top of it. My rubber stamp border, Russain doll and the layers on her. I then created a second doll as a tag to write on the back why I created that layered effect. If I'd thought of it earlier I could have turned the first doll into a card or pocket and wrote inside her. Its why I should sometimes think things through but I'm one to work on things as I they come to me when decorating.

Do you plan things before you start doing anything?
