Once Upon A Springtime Again!

How gorgeously, whimsical are these Graphic 45 papers? I just love 'em and being a huge fan of fussy cutting they have lots and lots of fiddly, twiddly bits too. I seriously think Graphic 45 are the only paper company whose papers are all suitable for both cards and LO's. 

Anyhoo, have a peek at todays card. 

See those fairies, fussy cut. Those flowers, fussy cut! I find it very therapeutic.

Paper Sundaes have asked for 2 toppings out of these: flowers, lace, distressing and the colour pink. I have used flowers and the colour pink.

And the whole thing.

Happy paper crafting and don't forget to pop over to Unique Cardz Sketches for some sketchy inspiration.

Once Upon A Springtime.

I really, really like this Graphic 45. Once Upon a Springtime collection. I love how they have included a couple of pages of die cuts.

The die cuts make things so much quicker.

See? I whipped this one up in no time and entered it into Paper Sundaes Challenge #55 - Two or more images.

Graphic 45 And Imaginise.

Some of you might remember that I won a fabulous Imaginise stash from Me and The Little Rascals last year. 

Well, I've just gotten around to using some of it. Fun papers to use and this card is made with some of the Perfectly Posh Collection. I felt that such a busy paper didn't really need much else so I kept the embellishment to just one beautiful flower from The Clip Cafe.

Check out the flower centre! Too gorgeous!

Next the continuing love affair between myself and Graphic 45. I know I've said   this before but these papers are to DIE FOR! Love, love, love Graphic 45 and Once Upon A Springtime.

I think this is my all time favourite card. Love the colours and the dimension. In the next lot of photo's I've tried to capture the 3D elements but not being much of a photographer they don't quite show it properly.

And, of course, you've spotted the obligatory glitter!

First Card For 2011.

Well, here I am! Back for 2011. I hope everyone had a fabulous Chrissy and New Year. 

I've had 3 weeks off work and expected to get so much done in the craft room, starting with a big tidy up. The tidy up was done and didn't it look lovely and uncluttered! I had some lovely new Imaginise and Graphic 45 papers to play with too. Very inspirational you would think, wouldn't you? The only thing lacking was time. There was none. I managed to make only one card and I'm back to work on Tuesday!!

Here it is. The one and only using Graphic 45's new once Upon A Springtime papers.

And a closeup of the beautiful little Prima butterfly.
