I ALREADY KNOW MY FAVOURITE MAKE OF THE DAY!!

Hi Everyone

I already know my favourite make of the day .. .. no matter what else I make today it won't beat the little creation that follows so I might as well post it now.

I nearly love it too much to part with LOL!!!

This paper stack (Ella Blue by GCD Studios) was bought last year and at the time seemed like a major investment (which in fairness it was as it cost about £18 .. .. but it is a 12 x 12 stack).   It wasn't an impulse buy .. .. .. I had been looking at the stack for months and months, just wishing that I dare spend my pennies and buy it. 

Anyway, eventually I gave in but have never regretted it.  It doesn't have a bad paper in it (though it is more like card than paper) and I have made so many creations with it that it is unbelievable.

No matter what I make with it I love it.  I don't know if it is the colours, or the patterns or the feel of it .. .. it is probably all of these reasons.

There are still plenty of pages left and loads more creations that can be made with it but I do feel I am going to have to keep my eyes open for a spare one .. .. ready for when the sad day arrives when I use my last page!!!!!  Sob!! Sob!!!

Anyway .. .. how long can someone dribble on about a blasted paper stack .. .. be quiet woman and show your make ...

OK

Here it is ....................




This used:

Backing Papers:  GCD Sudios "Ella Blue"  (surprise, surprise)
Nestabilities: Standard Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Large
Marianne Design Die: LR0115 "Butterfly"  (I love this too)
Woodware Punches:  Daisy in various sizes
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Brads, Ribbon and pearls from the Stash Box

So there we go.  My share of the day.

I am here bright and early tomorrow as it is the launch of the Penny Black at Allsorts Challenge for April.

Hope you are having a good day/evening.

Catch you tomorrow.

Love

    Lovely Jules, I adore the butterfly so pretty, and I agree about the papers, really really nice, and when we have papers we really like, it's so difficult to use them! LOL

    I have only recently come across GCD papers and I have to admit their quality is lovely. bought an 8 x 8 pack at Olympia for a knock down price and am so pleased with it. I can understand your drooling!
    Lovely card as usual.

    Hi Jules

    I've got the very same paper stack although mine is 8x8! I totally agree with everything you've said about it. I've only made a couple of cards using the papers but both I've been really pleased with. If (and when) I post them I will remember to let you know so that we can drool over the papers together!!!

    So pleased that you and hubby had a good evening....

    Going to try and join in the Penny Black @ Allsorts challenge this month!

    Speak soon

    Hello Jules, love this card and, yes, the paper is beautiful. I have a pack of Graphic46 about which I feel the same way - I haven't broken into it yet though I don't know what I'm saving it for :) The butterfly is something special too and your flowers are a joy - note to self: got to get those punches and that die
