Some cards

As there are loads of bits you can cut out in the Craft and You papers I enjoyed making some cards...I also got to trial some new distress stain colours I got with some of my Christmas money.  The first is a lilac ones - I started with some splatters and washi tape, then added on some jars and a little pound land flower.

Next up a very Graphic 45 style hen and sunflowers, I decopaged one of the sunflowers, and then added microbeads to the centre of all of them.  I stuck the chicken on with 3D foam to add some more dimension.

A few more splatters of another new stain, and then some torn paper and a tag - lots of fun to make!

Home Grown

A little more Autumnal for this page - here are some of the first apples off our apple tree - the kids love them.  I used some Craft and You papers for this page, and started with a diamond pattern, which I then stitched across.  Around the photo I added a doily and glassine envelopes, then some ribbon and a few of the cut out pieces you get in this paper pack, as well as a wood veneer and metal tree.  The alphabet is an older American Crafts one.
