Finding a place for everything ...

It's good to organize, tidy up, or otherwise "find a place for everything".  We all do it ... occasionally.  And whenever I do I am always pleasantly surprised by what I find.  Today's treasure was a sheet of printed daisies.  Bright cheerful colors in a variety of colors - they have me thinking of warmer weather as the snow blows outside.  Inspiration is found in many places.

A mix of printed papers in shades of green and tangerine made a pleasing combination.  I used First Edition along with Paisley Petals and our new Everyday Enchantment found in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.

A shabby bow is a must for anything I create.  This one is made of hand dyed seam binding in a light shade of blue ... embellished with matching deep green decorative pins.

A bright tangerine button, a treasured daisy, and happy words of greeting are layered simply and become the center of attention.

Once again, I am grateful for your time and do hope you enjoyed your visit!

Season's Greetings

I'm happy to be creating and planning for some card making fun at my house this weekend.  It's never too early to begin preparing for the Holidays so we'll be focusing on Christmas cards ... which I hope everyone will enjoy.  Although the colors in this project are not traditional, the patterned paper is so beautiful I had to stop hoarding and bring it out to share.  Our special this month is "Buy 3 Designer Series Papers get 1 FREE" (click here to see more).  So today I present ... Paisley Petals.  The colors are rich, regal, and so warm.  I paired this paper collection with the frame from Notably Ornate stamped in Bravo Burgundy Classic Ink.  The sentiment is from Welcome Christmas .. a wonderful set with vintage silhouettes and more.  A bit of lace is always a good thing ...

I love getting ready for Christmas.  Enjoy your day!
