The Blog County Fair
Being a Design Member of the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) has afforded me many great opportunities, one of which is to collaborate with many of the world’s top craft-industry professionals. Two such designers, Vicki O'Dell and Laura Bray, have created a special Blog County Fair 2011 event.
Welcome to my post on the Blog County Fair.
This year, my family and I attended the Kutztown Folk Festival, which is a great County Fair located in Pennsylvania. The petting zoo is always a favorite and I loved that the fair made sure they had portable sinks nearby so little ones could wash their hands after feeding the farm animals. Our family had a lot of fun feeding these cute little guys.
Inspired by county fairs, I created a fun heart to add some charm to country baskets. Pink Duct Tape was placed on cardstock and then embossed using fellow CHA designer’s (Brenda Pinnick) Textured Impressions by Sizzix®.
The Textured Impressions made it fast and easy to create a great-looking embellishment for my basket. These would make great party craft project or favors.
Make sure to come back to my blog on Wednesday
