I have spent a lot of my time in the last few days searching for some paper that I thought I had bought( haven’t found it yet, and am fast running out of places to search!) and in my searching have found lots of other forgotten papers that have gone in and out of fashion, and are back in now and will benefit from being used with some new dies and embossing folders that I have bought in the meantime, so next on my list is to use up these papers. First up is this card, made with Stampin Up Beau Chateau, which is a retired paper, but I have rejuvenated it with some fussy cutting, and cutting a banner.The sentiment stamp is from Stampin Up Vintage verses, and I used 2 different kinds of ribbon on the card as well.Taught a lovely group of ladies this morning – we had a great time.. nothing better than card making when the weather outside is so cold! Til tomorrow….

Storyteller number 10
For this one I used the same piece of 12 x 12 storyteller patterned paper ( kaisercraft) as yesterdays card, and cut the strip with the flower image, and fussy cut the lace printed strip, and stuck both on to the front of my white card blank. Just added a mini flower, ribbon and punched leaf to finish. Today I have spent a lot of time in the craft room using up some older papers – hopefully we will be able to find some time to photograph them in the next day or so! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Storyteller number 9
Today we are revisiting Kaisercraft Storyteller patterned paper, with a card that I designed for one of my classes last month. I cut the top third off the front of a square card blank, and layered some paper on the back piece, then covered the front piece, and fussy cut the piece of 12 x 12 paper that had the clock image on it to layer on top. In between these layers I placed a die cut ( couture creations cameo set die) and added a ribbon bow and perfect pearls.A short shift at work today, so I have spent an hour or so in the craft room clearing up some unfinished projects, and all ready for a full day in there tomorrow.. can’t wait! til tomorrow…..

I found a couple of graphic 45 Botanical Tea cards that I haven’t posted yet, and nathan and I haven’t done any photo-ing since we have been back from holidays, time just runs away just now, so I thought I would show these in the mean time, until we find a morning to get the camera out. I have layered two pieces of the patterned paper,and used some very slim strips to act as a frame, fussy cut the tea pot and flowers,and butterfly and added a ribbon bow ( as I tend to do!) and some kindyglitz and rhinestones to finish. I have lots of papers I havent created with yet so I am hoping to get into the craft room this weekend if it’s not too cold – it’s a miserable day here today, so it’s not looking good for the weekend!
