playing with paper...

It seems that I've been spending alot of time lately in the garden and redecorating in my little cottage...
 I
lately I've had the itch to thumb through the treasures and trinkets in my paper stash and play around some...



I forgot how much enjoyment I get out of creating beautiful cards and tags...




There certainly is no shortage of inspiration out there...





I found it here with Melissa Phillips at Lilybean's Paperie...I love yellow in decorating but don't usually use for cards...I really do love it's sunny disposition...




and more inspiration here with my dear friend Heather at Simply Handmade...she's hosting this week over at City Crafter Challenge Blog...







There is something about all the pretty paper and my treasure chest of trinkets and buttons and pearls and punches that calls me back time and again...




That's it for now...

Hope you enjoyed your visit...

Blessings,
Patty

good morning Patty! :-)
Thanks for linking up! As always, you make and (find) the most amazing paper creations! I love the one that has laughter on it, that little pom pom fringe is just too cute! I am not good with making paper crafts...I'm better at decorating. I have TONS of scrapbook paper and all the little accessories that go with it and I just stare at it....I wish you were here! lol I have made some cards, but I guess it's not my passion so I don't fool around with it much. :-0 Shame on me! LOL
Have a great day girlfriend!
Hugs
Melissa

WOW! I love all your work! They are all so beautiful! You have been busy... The two tags at the end are my favorite. But I just love making tags myself! Thanks for playing along with us over at the CCCB!
