Butterflies

A card I made using my scraps. I'm not sure where the butterfly or patterned vellum came from originally...

Post from across the pond

I received my Papertrey Ink order this weekend and paid the customs random. I think this will be my last order as the prices have become ridiculous. It is a shame as I love their products, especially the perfectly matched colours for inks, ribbons, cards, felts, buttons...

The flower in the Meadow Greens stamp set was the reason for my order, so I thought I'd put it to use. Sometimes I find that if I leave a stamp set and 'file it away' for another day, I tend to forget about it.


Tools: Papertrey Ink Meadow Greens and Tiny Tags stamp set.

And more Spots...

Thank you to Stephanie and Caryn for your kind comments!

I have to admit it was Stephanie (whose blog I found through Michelle Short's) that lead me to my Papertrey ink obsession. I do dread looking at my order history and seeing exactly how much I've spent on that website...! 

And with Stephanie's new line of stamps, hopefully I won't need to spend anymore on shipping things in from the US. Mind you, those Lil' Inkers die do look mighty tempting...

Here's a card I made using Memory Box dies.

Seeing spots


It is a beautiful sunny Monday and I'm in bed sick. Must be all the eating out this weekend, of which something has upset my stomach (which usually has nerves of steel). It's a shame it's my week off!

I made this card last week for the Clearly besotted challenge.

60th

Apologies, I certainly do not make enough cards to justify my stash of cardmaking tools!

Here is a card I made for my mother-in-law's 60th. I forgot to photograph it but saw my chance when we went to visit her! Hence it is a little bent from the post office treatment.


Tools: Papertrey ink Dot Spot stamp set & By the Numbers die
