Hi Everyone
I hope that you have all had a good Saturday.
The weather here hasn't been too bad. At least the fog lifted.
Today I allowed myself a little treat, whilst hubby was at football, and escaped from my craft pod to visit a lovely nursery nearby. There used to be a craft store there but it closed some 18 months ago. But today another craft store has taken up residence and there was a lovely lady called Jo Unwin demonstrating.
So what a lovely treat. A new craft store nearby and the chance to watch someone else crafting. I always love watching other people craft .. .. it really inspires me.
Jo was lovely and during part of her demonstration she showed everyone how to make a little origami Christmas tree. So I rushed home to make the tree .. .. .. if only to prove to myself that there is nothing wrong with my short term memory LOL!!!
So here is what I made once I returned home
 |
| ***Do you like my little easel I bought today .. .. .. it was just too cute pass by LOL!!*** |
This used:
Well there might not be anything wrong with my short term memory .. .. but there certainly is with my long term memory because I have no idea who made the paper I have used.
It all came from the same pack which I bought years ago when I first started cardmaking. But I didn't keep the packet as it wasn't important in those days. I have mountains of it left. It seems to go on for ever and ever and will probably have antique value soon. LOL!!!
So the paper aside there isn't much else to report on here other than
Glamour Dust which I applied to the stripes on the paper and the spots of the tree
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Small snowflake punch (with no name on it)
Sticky back Gems
Ribbon from the stash box
I am going to enter this card into the Bee Crafty Card Challenge where the theme this week is "All that Glitters".
Right then, off to do a little bit of colouring now. Need to have my daily fix .. .. especially as there was none on my show and tell card today. LOL!!
Have a lovely evening and thanks for calling by to see what I have been up to.
Love
Gorgeous creation love the colours and fab papers, big hugs love Pops x

Lucky you having s craft store within easy reach. A super little Christmas tree and the papers are a gorgeous shade of green - pity you can't remember where they came from - but as it was a long time ago they may not even make that design anymore.
