Here is number 3 using graphic 45 Birdsong patterned papers. I have rounded all my corners, and matted the main image onto early espresso cardstock ( stampin Up ) I used my Cherry Blossom spellbinders die, and added some seam binding and a vintage charm. I picked up the charm at a market with some other old broken bits of jewellry. I always keep my eyes open for finds like this , they usually cost next to nothing, and are agreat way to add interest and texture to my cards. Til tomorrow….

Number 6 in my graphic 45 a place in time march cut outs series.I used Stampin Up garden green cardstock, and some bazil which I punched with Martha stewart lace doily punch, and also used some to matt the main image.

Graphic 45 A place in time number 4
Sorry I missed yesterdays post, but our new air conditioning system was installed and it was a little busy around here – just in the nick of time too, as I sit here it’s 43C and is going to stay that way for quite a few days. Today is number 4 in my Graphic 45 A place in time series, still using my original 2 sheets of March cut outs. The cardstock is Stampin up Garden Green, and a lovely piece of bazil. I stamped a four leaf clover from my oxford impressions Farm stamp set and gold embossed it. The addition of a kaisercraft brad, and there it is – a good luck card ! I have a couple of orders to do, but far too hot today, the glue will dry before I get it near the cardstock, so the craft room will have to wait. Til tomorrow….

graphic 45 A Ladies Diary 12,13,14
While on Graphic 45 I thought I would show these three cards made using A Ladies Diary.Interesting story about the background paper on the top card – A workmate of my Husbands asked him if I could use old wallpaper sample books, which then duly made their way home, and the background paper on the top card is actually wallpaper!These books are terrific – if you can get your hands on any grab them!i also used a Cheery Lyn tropical flourish on this card too. The bottom two cards incorporate ribbon, lace, and an E.K.success fan border punch for that true vintage feel!Til tomorrow….
