These Three Things....

Ok, this will be a really fun one!!
This kit , which is actually an inspiration package and I will offer a different one every month, is called "These Three Things".
Just three elements, which will usually be vintage , or not easily found fun type treasures .
Then, you add absolutely anything at all (new or old) to these three elements to create your own work of art. Add as much or as little as you want to your creation.
Is it jewelry?
A wall hanging?
Something sewn, beaded,painted,soldered,glued ,died,tied ... I have know idea , but can't wait to find out.
Then the whole following month we will post pictures of our creations on the Flickr group to see what everyone came up with.I love to create , but sometimes get a little block and need to work with something different....

So let's Create Just to Create!
~Not because you have to make inventory for your
web store,
etsy,
ebay,
lollishop
,shabby lane ,
make mine pink,

(I sincerely apologize for any of our completely wonderful shops that I have left out but you get my drift. )
Not because you need to make a gift,
are in charge of school craft projects,
make a deadline,
design a June wedding

Just because it got your creative juices going and was a lot of fun!

Now , if you decide to put your fabulous creation in your wonderful shop, or the June wedding, that' great too! (Mark one off your to do list)
Make a teachers gift : ) ( oops,I forgot it was that time of year too!)

This inspiration pack will include:

~Vintage salvage german doll (these are from 1890s era and each one is slightly different)
~1920's vintage millinery velvet cream flower
~vintage metal element ( I see wings but shhh~you may see something else of course)

Now for a little bit more on "Charlotte"

Charlotte stands approx 5 tall when completed.
She herself is a genuine turn of the century salvaged Charlotte doll dug up from the doll factories in Germany.
As these girls are salvaged , they are all either missing legs or arms etc. But, we have taken care of that in this kit, and returned her to the regal status she deserves.

Charlotte Comes with:

1 origninal antique broken charlotte doll
2 velvet vintage 1920 millinery flowers
feathers
Vintage lace
Coordinating ribbons
Vintage pearls
Hand died tulle
pre-formed skirt form

Color instruction guide
Beautifully Gift Boxed Just for you! (or makes a great gift!)

The only thing you will need for this kit is glue.

As with all of the kits that will be offered on Creer Avec Moi,
I have made the template, but you can add more goodies, change colors, etc. and make her your own.
Then when you are finished, add your photos to the flickr group so that we can all admire what you have done with your creation!

Marie Canvas Book
Inspiration Kit

The Marie Canvas book inspiration kit comes with oodles of vintage elements including antique lace, beads, 1920s millinery. The binding for your book is actually from a wonderful early vintage flour sac , and the inside covers are from 1930s wallpaper as shown. Due to the vintage elements included in each project, the kits offered on Creer Avec Moi will be very limited. Once I have used up my supply of a vintage element included in each project , that will determine the number of kits I am able to offer you.

Creer Avec Moi

I am so excited to create with you!
