Wow, two posts in one day!! Just about to go to bed and decided I would quickly do this post first. I also purchased the 6x6 pad of Teresa Collins 'Family Stories' a few weeks ago and was dying to try a card with black cardstock. Thought these papers would be perfect!
I just love all these colours together and the wording on the front strip. Told my Mum this is a 'family' card, to give to someone who is an important part of your family. A bit modern for her but she liked it.
And aren't enamel dots the best!!!! Wish they came out in sheets of 100, I wouldn't be so cheap with them then.
Must go to bed!!

A few weeks ago I purchased a 6x6 pad of Teresa Collins 'Memorabilia'. Was flicking thru it and always came back to the same grey and white pattern. I don't know what it is about this combination at the moment but it seems so modern and clean to me. Decided to put it with my other favourite combo (white and light blue) and came up with this card. Not the hardest card to make but am trying to play around with my paper sizes and placements (trying to get out of same layout everytime.......).
Just flicking through the pad again, feel another grey/white/light blue moment coming on.......
Take care

So, last night I was just putting my children to bed when I had a sudden idea for a card. A few weeks ago I purchased a 'hello' die from I Love Scrapbooking.
Its a new online craft store based in New Zealand that has lots of gorgeous new things. I had an idea to make a very simple card using the die and this is what I came up with. I love it!! I used a teal patterned paper from Lawn Fawn 'Into the Woods' 6x6 pad I received recently. And just a few enamel dots from Teresa Collins. Its very me. Then......
I thought what will I do with the cut out 'hello' from the die cut. I decided to make kind of a pair of cards, using the same Lawn Fawn 'Into the Woods' paper and only the blue enamel dots. I usually put my papers in the usual straight up and down or across position and wanted to step out of my comfort zone. It is my favourite card I have ever made so far!!!!!
I have a few Pinterest boards (tried to put the 'pin it' button on this blog with no success) and have decided to start a new board with my creations. Will be interesting to see if anyone likes them........
Take care
