About Me

My photo
I'm an avid scrapbooker and card maker, although with a toddler running around I don't get as much time to craft as I used to. Assorted websites, blogs and facebook groups have provided me with so much inspiration in my own crafting I want to put my own crafts out there and hopefully inspire some creativity in someone else.

Thank You Cards

I made these cute cards for a monthly card swap group I'm a part of and I'm loving that the neon colour palette of the 80's is back in fashion. Black and Hot Pink are the greatest colour combination ever, in my humble opinion

When I couldn't find any 'thank you' patterned paper in my stash I made my own using the sketch curly font in silhouette studio and then doing a print'n'cut but you could pull that trick with any old font and word processor. I was a scrapbooker long before I was a cardmaker and consequently I'm always worried about the archival quality of the materials I use. Just making my own printed paper for cards, since archival quality doesn't matter, feels so wild and crazy to me. Clearly I live a sheltered life.

 These arn't a completely original work, there was a sketch given for inspiration so credit where credit is due. I don't think this was the very original posting of this sketch, but it is where the artist's pintrest board directs to, and that's good enough for me.
