The shop I teach lessons at runs a challenge every month, and this monthe challenge was ” words”. we were given a sheet of this kaisercraft paper and sent off to create working with the theme words. I came up with two cards, this is the first.Along with the paper ( I can’t remember which collection this one came from – will have to research that) I used all stampin up products – cardstock, seam binding, ruffled ribbon and sentiment stamp.I finished off with a couple of kaisercraft pearls. I was hoping I would be showing my xmas card creations using up my scraps, but due to technical difficulties of the computer sort, Nathan has been busy trying to fix my computer for most of today, so no time left to get the camera out. He seems to have succeeded, and I am grateful cos the alternative was going to have to be spend money on a new one!Til tomorrow….

Authentique Pretty number 4
Sorry I missed last nights post, but we are still having random internet issues. still using Authentique Pretty collection of papers,I also used a dress form die ( mine is from stampin up, but most die companies have one of these!)and wrapped some lace around it, and glued a string of pearls around the neck area.I folded back a corner of the layered square and pinned it with a kaisercraft brad,and added some black lace there to peek through. A ribbon bow and some ruler printed trim ( got it and the string of pearls from K-mart) to finish off this design. Til tomorrow….

Authentique Pretty number 2
Authentique Pretty paper collection, mounted onto black cardstock base. I cut a matching strip for the right hand side, and layered a piece of lace onto it, mimicking the cuts at the bottom, and added a little pink bow . On the left I mounted some of the fussy cut paper, and added a butterfly charm threaded with black ribbon. Today i have prepared my september lessons, and have been thinking about christmas cards. I have a day off on Monday,. so will pull out last years left over paper and make a start on using it up so that I don’t feel too guilty when I buy new releases which I know are on the way and I won’t be able to resist!

Beau Chateau – stampin up.
This is the other card I made with Stampin Up Beau Chateau patterned paper ( retired stock) . for this one I cut a rectangle of the printed paper, and cut it into three strips, and mounted it onto some blue cardstock before mounting the whole piece onto cream cardstock.I stamped out a sentiment from vintage verses stamp set ( stampin up) and added a bow and pearls. Not much crafting this weekend – on the up side I did complete the orders I had to do, so at the moment the desk is clear of all ” have to do” stuff! Til tomorrow….
Stampin Up Beau Chateau
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….
