I Played With Paper!!!!



Aren't these flowers cute?!!
I got together with a few scrappin' friends yesterday and managed to complete these 3 cards!
I also stamped some elements for other cards...hope to put those together soon!

Here's the link for the 'how to' on the flowers...

So Friday I picked up a copy of Treasure Island at a local thrift shoppe for 50 cents!
It had a smallish font and loverly yellowed pages.
I made up a bunch of the flowers...and I've only used a few pages!!!
I used eyelets instead of brads... I felt they held better...and besides I have HEAPS of eyelets I need to use!
I also inked my flowers once they were scrunched up...
So...slowly I am making my way back...baby steps...starting with some super sweet cards...one day...a lo...woohoooooooooo!!!

  1. Those look terrific!! I enlarged the photo and was "reading" the flowers trying to figure out where the text came from THEN I read your post.....silly me!!
