Pretty Papers

We have a new challenge today at Try It On Tuesday with the title of 'Pretty Papers'.
A challenge it was for me too! 

Aside from the other stuff going on in my head at the moment I had such a terrible job trying to find papers. In a mass clear out a couple of years ago I got rid of all those papers I had coveted, bought and never used and left myself with only a few (still never used either!) so I was a little bit bothered as to what I could do.

I remembered some time back (and I MEAN some time back) there had been a freebie with one of the Cardmaking mags so a delve into a box and found them at the bottom - a little bit tattered as all kinds of stuff had been dumped on top of them but pretty papers nevertheless.
I got out the lace box too.
I chopped off part of the front of the card and simply edged it with lace.

If I'd have been on top of things I probably would have stitched this card as I always think stitching looks good on a vintagey card. Maybe next time.

Thank you again for looking and for any comments you leave.
I hope all is well in your part of blogland. x 

Children

Try It On Tuesday's challenge for the next two weeks is called 'Children'. 

I've used one of my fave Andy Skinner stamps onto a smooshed background made up of Picked Raspberry and Fossilized Amber. 

Hope you will go over to the challenge blog and join us. 

Thanks for looking today - for some time I have been only able to blog infrequently and have not been to visit any of my followers. 
With lots of support I am, (I think!) getting back on track but it is going to be a long process. 
One of these days I will be back to normal!
But I want to thank everyone that still comes and visits me - I DO read all the comments and appreciate them all.  x
