This is my place to share with family and friends. You might find handmade cards, digital scrapbook pages, photos or a little chatter because those are the things I love. My blog is a work in progress, so be patient with me. Most of the time I think I will be talking to myself, but hey, I'm used to that!

Everything old is new again....

It really is when you have a huge paper and card stock stash! I have been digging this weekend. While hubby is out digging in the snow, I've been digging in my old supplies again. I found this beautiful Club Scrap card stock that was embossed with black. When I got this card stock in a monthly scrap kit, I had no idea what to do with it, so there in the paper storage it has sat, sad and neglected. I decided to see what I could do with it. This brightly colored card is way out of the box for me, but I like it. I used the long rectangle Nestibilities to cut the window on the front of the card. I rediscovered a pretty butterfly die with matching embossing folders and I embellished the butterfly with a black Spica glitter pen. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.



Thanks for stopping by. Leave me a comment and add your blog address and I will come visit you. Have a great weekend :)

Gorgeous! Oh my...I love that color...but I agree, I think it would have intimidated me at first as well!

I love going through my stash and finding things like this. Sometimes you just need to revisit them to get a clue, and it's fun to actually use something from you stash, isn't it?

The black and blue is very cool! The paper would have scared me a little, too, but look what you did with it! WOW!
