More bits and pieces

Preparations for Crop am Rhein 2015 are progressing slowly, but I have started sorting out things for the donation box and have also die cut lots of smaller scraps.

These will be sent to three girls who can surely put them to good use:

And I also made some more DIY embellishments:

I tried the sewing machine on the first two but then came to the conclusion that I prefer hand-stitching for these small pieces, so that's what I will mostly do for these pieces in future.

The supplies used are mostly from the current kit as well, except for the cameras, enamel dots and journaling card (from my stash) and the some die cuts and the cork arrow from last month's kit.
