Lillybet's Papers

I love the inspiration challenges at Just Add Ink, but sadly I've not had much time to participate this year, so I'm really glad to be able to join in this week. It's a gorgeous inspiration I totally love the natural elements and colours in this photo- and who doesn't Love brown paper packages tied up with string as one of their favourite things. I regularly create journals for the markets and they are often personalised using bits of old music, old text, wine journals , study notes etc but this one is much simpler.  My advertising sign at the market says   "Empty Journal seeks creative genius  for casual fling" or "empty journal seeks creative mind for meaningful relationship" I have covered a lined journal using some of the crisp green and white striped DSP from the new Sweet Soiree Specialty pack.  The journal has a beautiful neutral base which makes the decorative elements stand out. The beautiful sentiment p...

Welocme back to the bloghop. We are launched onto the Christmas Catalogue. It's such an amazing Catalogue and there is so much in it to drool over!  You may have arrived here from Helen's great blog . I have to admit that I don't own any of the christmas Kits. My wish list from the new catalogue was quite extensive and kits were down the list a little but I do have some beautiful products to play with and to showyou (as well as some old favourites that have been in previous Christmas Catalogues). I was very taken with the bright fresh colour scheme of the To You and Yours Shaker Cards Project Kit. (p4).  I am off to The Handmade Expo Markets tomorrow and as well as cards I sell quite a few journals. Christmas is a time of planning so what better way to start getting organised than to have a dedicated Christmas planner- and the Shaker element was just the icing on the cake, as well as a little challenge! I had to tie some red cord around the base o...
