Pretty Papers

Time to sort out some of your paper stash for the challenge this time at TRY IT ON TUESDAY! 

The theme is 'Pretty Papers' - so lots of things to do with that pile that's lurking in your craft space!

My paper is from a 12 x 12 pad bought a while back in The Range. 
Bought for no other reason than I liked it.

No idea why really as I prefer to make my own backgrounds rather than use patterned paper but it was a nice paper pad so it came home with me!

I used some of the pad to make 'Exploding' boxes and this was left over. 

I die cut the flowers and foliage from odd pieces in the 'Should Throw Away But They May Come in Useful ' box!  

Come and join us with your pretty papers for this challenge!

Hope all is well in your part of blogland and thanks for looking today. x 

Colourful at Try It On Tuesday

Here we are with another challenge at TRY IT ON TUESDAY and this time the theme is 'MAKE IT COLOURFUL'

I opted to do a simple and easy make using strips of coloured card - you know from all the millions of odd bits we save cos they'll come in useful....... and in fact never use!

I used up quite a few odd scraps cos I made a couple of these and made the fronts different by using different flower dies and using different greetings.

They'll be handy in the card box and am also linking up to Snippets Playground with my snippets make!.

Hope you can join us - pop over to the challenge blog and have a look at the colourful creations from the DT!

Thanks for taking the time to look in on my blog. x
