Recently i bought some of the new Prima Something blue collection. I bought the A4 paper pad and a pack of atc sized cards – I think there were 36 or 48 cards – ( I will check before next blog post and let you know) and these cards had all sorts of images on them. This is the first card I made using them.I did some layering, sponged the edges with tea dye distress ink and rounded my corners. I added some lace and ribbon and liquid pearls, and a vintage style card done! til tomorrow….

Once I find it. So for now it’s back to the room to continue looking! Til tomorrow….

Two cards today, both using Kaisercraft On This day paper pad and collectables.The top card is still following the wedding themd, but the bottom card is a sympathy card. a lot of the images in this collection can be used for so many different themes.

Those ones won’t make it to my blog as I have had to put them straight into my lunch room boxes as people are already asking for them.I have also palyed alittle bit with my new bo bunny paper – took a card or two to settle into the swing of that paper but I am on a roll now! til tomorrow….
