birdies flying by

I’m loving my @lawnfawn stamps right now, and the stripy paper from American Crafts Soho Garden, so cute…

So when I hunted out my promarkers I also picked up a couple of stamps I bought years ago, in this case so long ago I don’t even think that they make this set anymore, anyway a little bit of colouring and some cute papers from American Crafts and I’m quite pleased with this card.

I was fortunate enough to pick up a few pads of 12x12 papers in TKMaxx including Dear Lizzy’s Neapolitan and Lucky Charm. I also picked up the banner I think from 5th and Frolic. Im also quite pleased with the measages I printed off using a CK font. Anyway a few more cards, but my fingers are starting to itch for a bit of Scrapbooking instead.

and now for something completely different...

So this is pretty much the last of that LilyKate pad… for a change I got out my much cuter WRMK Twirl papers for a slight change of scene.

even more lily kate

Two more LilyKate cards (I promise I’m nearly done with that paper pad) basically both using the same ‘sketch’. I’m quite pleased with the card using the strips of cut offs, a nice effect I feel.

these 6x6 pads go a long way...

Just one card today,and its randomly posed with some supplies that I didn’t use when making it, but looked good together, it’s an interesting thing when you just allow yourself to use the same supplies until they’re all gone, having to become inventive so all the cards don’t look the same, and to make the most of supplies means that I have been a little out of my comfort zone. Anyhue…

every last scrap

Making the most of my Martha Stewart butterfly punches and the scraps of my LilyKate papers (I’m definitely getting down the pile now), I’m back to being pleased with my cards right now.

more from miss lily kate

And so I continue using up that LilyKate paper pad from Basic Grey. It is only when you try and completely use up a pad like this that you realise just how many papers you get for the money, or looking at it another way, just how unrealistic the idea that I will ever use up all of my scrapbooking stash is… The same could be said of my mothers embroidery thread pile where I got the thread to crochet those butterflies…
