This Week at

City Crafter Challenge Blog

Ros wants us to used up our scraps, we all have piles of them right?

I keep little pieces of patterned paper in a few boxes, and now it is time to dig them out, sort them and see which paper can filled up the little spaces here....

It is very time consuming because some paper because I have to die cut them many times to get enough to filled up but its worth it

and since I already started, might as well make a few

I think not only I used up lots of scraps, I also sent all these cards out Christmas 2014

Come play along with us.

My new favorite ~ kraft + white

I am sharing with you today my new favorite - kraft + white

and I used it on a gift wrap for a special gal

this is heavily japanese influenced, which I love....

flower with a matching stamped ribbon made from muslin fabric...

just love the earth-tone.....

of course it has a matching card to go with....

inside is something I enjoy - PTI stamp set, this is extremely precious because it is the anniversary set, which you cannot buy it with money, I hope she likes the gift.

I am linking this with "Gifting with Angi Barrs", a guest blogger at Yvonne Yam's blog - Do More With Less, you might want to hop over and play along, it is FUN!!!!

Thank You Note Card Swap

I have been keeping this for the longest time, I think I completed this a month or two ago, and thought I will wait until my partner received this card set before I post it online, but guess I cannot hold it any longer. I have not been making anything besides the huge project that I just had,  so I have nothing left on hands to post, where I usually have like 4-5 blog post pre-scheduled. Here you go -

Thank You Note Card Swap with Gift Box

I join in this Note Card Swap at Let's Ink it Up

I supposed to make 6 of these 3"x 3" Thank You note cards for my swap partner

I think it has to go with a box and envelope too, it is really hard to find envelope for 3x3 cards, so I make my own





And I put it in a handmade gift box, with the label for the envelop and baker's twine that you can find at Pixie Dust Paperie

gift box, all nicely dressed up

To my swap partner Joanna, this was shipped out to you on Dec 6, hope you get it by now.
