When Inspiration Calls

Something slightly different for you today - a scribble book for when you get that hit of inspiration. I've painted the covers with acrylic paints and a touch of varnish then decorated the front with BasicGrey papers from the Ambrosia collection, added a fab large felt flower and some distressed circles and a brad.

Forever Friends in Spring Time

I don't know why but I am often drawn to yellows and greens together. As I was working through the sample of DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies I have from Sassy Crafts, these papers just jumped out of the pack at me. I thought the papers matched the sweet Forever Friends stamp just perfectly and I adore the glitter finish on the papers…
