Its DT Lou here with a super cute Saturated Canary make!! well, just look at her, she is way too cute not to ink up and...shhhh...she's on offer in the shop too so quick go get her before anyone else reads this post!! he he he!!!

I just had to squeeze one of her sentiments in too so I squooshed it onto the stitched circle die that comes in the blueprints 1 set!! they are just my fav cardmaking die set ever at the moment and they make it so easy. I masked off a little border at the bottom when I stamped her so that she sat in the rectangle nicely!!

Scraps...How do you use yours?!!!!


Morning Peeps!!

well this is a question I ask myself everyday when I look at the snippets of yummy papers on my less than tidy craft desk!!!!! but I love them so much I don't want to throw them away!

what to do? what to do?!!!! romfl!!! so this is what I came up with last week when I was enjoying a couple of putting the washing on the lie days!!

I got to thinking my pegs were a little bit boring and needed some cheering up so out came the glue and scraps of Pink Paislee Prairie Hill papers and my glossy accents and 30 mins later I had pretty pegs!!!

All I did was spoldge the scraps of paper onto my pegs with the glue and then filed around the edges to make them fit gorgeously.

Then I gave them a good coat of glossy accents and smoothed it out with a brush.

But...I couldn't stop there and made myself a little magnet for some of my notes from Mo.



 So, how do you use your scraps?!!!!

Have an awesome day,
Hugs Lou xxx

I have layered the Teresa Collins Everyday Moments papers with Bazzill cardstock...I think I used Starmist. I embellished with some Bakers Twine, Lace a paperclip and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.
