I did have time for a little bit of playing with pretty paper earlier. I'm finally cutting into this lovely stuff, having admired it for several months.
I also stamped a whole bunch of greetings ready to add to some cards.
When I kit for class I can get four card mats from an A4 sheet and I end up with two little pieces, like the one in the picture above, left over. They usually go straight into the recycling because I know, if I keep them, they'll most likely never see the light of day again. This time I had a purpose in mind and I've used them all. Very satisfying.
Happy Anniversary to all you Deskers out there and Happy Wednesday to everyone else. I hope you've enjoyed some glorious sunshine today, like we have.

I did laugh about your scraps.. I have a huge overflowing box that will honestly never get used and i must be ruthless and throw them out.... Happy WOYWW Helen #2
Isn't it funny how we hold on to lovely papers for so long before using them! You will surely have some lovely cards using these! Chrisx48
I also have some older paper sheets that are at least 10 years old. I recently used part of one after keeping it for a very long time. You were right - that is very satisfying, indeed. Happy 8th!

I too have paper that is years old- I kept thinking I'd keep it for something special-which is stupid, because they're all special! I've become fairly ruthless about scraps, they have to be above a certain size now before I keep them, but i do have loads. Trouble is. when I go to use them, either they're not the right colour, or not big enough. i need to get REALLY ruthless and recycle. Have a lovely week, Love& Hugs, Shaz #7 XxX
I like those papers a lot! I have a file drawer half filled with scraps of cardstock which I actually use. I look there first before I cut into a new sheet. Patterned papers are a bit different. Most of mine now are 6X6 so most of it is gone by the time I'm finished with a card or two. I have a little box of scraps but almost never remember to look in it.
I admit... I have a HUGE stash of paper that I've bought for projects and then never used because I didn't want to cut into it lol
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Gorgeous papers! I've featured hot air balloons on some fat quarters today! It was hazy this morning but by this afternoon, when I took Hettie down onto the beach, it was really hot. My nose is a bit pink :-D
Happy 8th anniversary!

Happy 8th Anniversary! Good for you using all your bits! And cutting into the paper; those designs would be in my hoard for ever pile! LOL! Have a great week.

I am in awe of those gorgeous papers. It would take me awhile to cut into them, too.
I thought of you right before I started making my ATC for Julia. I was going to use your baby wipe stamping technique for my rocking horses, but changed my mind and used a multicolored stamp pad instead.
Sorry I'm late in visiting. I had a commitment today, so had to be away from the computer. Happy 8th Anniversary from # 1.
I have only just started throwing out my scraps and along come you with a use for them!!! Typical!!
Have a good week

Hi Fiona. Only a day late in wishing you a happy 8th WOYWW anniversary! Sorry. Those papers are great - and as for those weeny scraps - don't we all keep them for ages? Then decide to throw...What a relief to find I am not alone.
Take care. God bless.

Those papers are lovely - I look forward to see what you create with them! Good for you for throwing out the little bits - sometimes i swear they will find me dead under a snowdrift of them! (so I throw mine out too!) Happy 8th WOYWW anniversary! Lindart #51
Sorry Fiona I'm on catch-up it's just been a busy week. Gorgeous papers and the scraps.... I can relate to those Lol! Happy woyww anniversary. Have a great weekend, Angela x17x
I can relate to your comment about the scraps. I have 2 huge boxes full, but I do dive in occasionally and use up loads of bits. Lovely looking papers. Happy belated WOYWW Sarah #27
