Paper Lane

Good afternoon all, i hope you are having a great day and a Happy Easter to everyone who is celebrating Easter today.  Go on, tell me, how many of you have had chocolate easter eggs for breakfast today? :)

Today is exciting for me because my first project for Paper Lane  has been published! I was given these gorgeous papers which are from the American Crafts' Garden Cafe Collection and this is what i came up with.  The papers are double sided and fabulous quality.  The paper i used is called 'Rose's kitchen' and i used both sides of it.  The butterfly is a Hero Arts stamp which i coloured with distress inks and copics. The border and the corners were made using EK Success punches.  The sentiment is from the 'Better Poppies' stamp set from Paper and Such. I love this sentiment.

I am an auntie!

Good morning all, hope you are all having a good day.  I became an auntie (in law) yesterday again when my gorgeous sister in law had a baby girl.  Unfortunately, she lives thousands of miles away so dont know yet when we will get to see them but wish them all the best with their new bundle of joy! So, what's new? I used this Magnolia stamp for the first time and have teamed it up with some new paper i got from the Me to You range. Coloured it with copics, added some pink lace from my stash, some pearls and a butterfly. Voila! lol
