Here we are Prima songbird papers number 9, I am ready to move on, but we are so close to finished with this series, that we will carry on. Here I have matted the main image onto Stampin up early espresso cardstock, the banner was fussy cut from one of the papers, and I finished it all off with some gorgeous lace and a bit of bling.I am still battling this fluey thing, but did venture into the craft room today as sitting up is better than lying down – too much coughing when I am lying down – and I have made a start on a rather large order that came through yesterday.Til tomorrow….

Prima songbird number 8
I hope you are all still enjoying this series, only a couple more to go!Of course the paper is still prima songbird,and for this one I just did lots of layers, using the 12 x 12 papers, white cardstock, and stampin up early espresso cardstock. I added a prima flower, seam binding, and some bling to finish. Short post today, as I am still not well, and am heading off back to bed.Til tomorrow….
Prima Songbird number 4
The more I see this paper, the more I like it – tonights card ( using Prima Songbird 12 x 12 sheets) makes use of layering to achieve a different look, and I distressed all my edges and inked them all with a tim holtz antique linen ink pad. a prima flower and leaf and some blingy rhinestones finished the card. Quick post today as I am off to visit the tax man. Hopefully he finds some extra money for me! Til tomorrow….
Prima Songbird number 1
Yesterday while I was teaching my lesson I discovered that the new Prima collections were in store, so I purchased quite a bit of paper! When I got home I realised that I hadn’t even cut into some of the previous Prima releases, and so today I rectified that! I decided that I couldn’t touch the new stuff until I had at least played with some of the older collections and took out all my Prima Songbird paper ( which only turned out to be 4 sheets – not sure why thats all I bought of this collection – it’s gorgeous – I can only think that by the time I saw it this is all that was left of it) . Anyway I had 4 sheets, One was immediately fussy cut into lots of bits and pieces, which left 3 pieces for backing and matting. I made 11 cards, and that is another collection finished.Over the next couple of days I will show all the cards I made with my 4 sheets, as Nathan was very obliging and photoed them for me this afternoon – a couple of them were still drying! This card was the last one I made and it’s my favourite. I had very little paper left, so dug out my stamps to come up with this one. The bird stamp is stampin up young vermillion ( a favourite), and the leafy background is from the stampin up just believe set. The with love greeting is from stampin up field flowers set. Inks used were stampin up certainly celery,choc chip,baja breeze, and ranger tim holtz antique linen. I added white seam binding,prima flowers,and white perfect pearls to finish. I am on a creative roll now, so am heading back into the craft room to start on another collection. Til tomorrow….
