Lillybet's Papers

So I have had the pleasure of making a milestone birthday card for one of my beautiful sisters and the Large Numbers Framelits Dies were so handy. The gold foil looked fabulous and I was really happy with the gorgeous marble paper (retired, SAB- Perfectly Artistic DSP )to put behind it. I have used lots of different elements to create this including the World Traveler Textured Embossing Folder, the deco labels framelits, the fabulous Party Popup Thinlits Dies  for the inside.

Welocme back to the bloghop. We are launched onto the Christmas Catalogue.

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...

Well luckily for me I am actually travelling to South Carolina for my nephew's Graduation from Clemson University. SO making a Graduation Card was not only a necessity but a good reason to make something extra special. You will have arrived here from Allison's amazing blog.  I used the colour inspiration from the Occasions Catalogue and created a double Easel Card (Another first for me) because I wanted the stars to be suspended in the Deco framelits frame. The gold doesn't show too well in the photos but believe me it sparkles!!! Congratulations Connor. This is a picture heavy post - but it's easier than writing the description!
