Pretty papers make pretty gifts


Happy Friday everyone, hope you've had a good week.  I thought the sunshine was too good to last.  We're back to rain again here! Oli and a friend headed off on a last  minute .com holiday in Tenerife earlier this week and has called a couple of times to let me know how great the weather is.  Come back sunshine, missing you already.   
I've been running up some new samples and a couple of gifts this week with the latest G45 papers.  I've used the Botanical Tea papers this time to alter this notelet box I've made as a gift, and have started to fill it up with notelets and envelopes made from the patterns and solids papers that compliment the collection   I'm loving my envelope punch board the girls at SirStampalot persuaded me to buy.  Envelopes are so easy to make with it to fit any sized card you want.  I had to add one of the easy to make ribbons inside the box too.  I love them :-) 




I'm at Pink Tulip tomorrow so if you're in the area and can call by to say hi and have a browse at all the new products just in it would be great to see you. :-) C

  3. Good afternoon Clare,

    It's been a while since I last left a comment but what a beautiful project to come back to. The papers are just fabulous and as you say when you have such beautiful papers as Graphic 45 to work with you cannot fail because they make everything look terrific. Thank you for sharing this with us and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

  6. Hi Clare! What a lovely notebox. Great idea. And that bow. I have to echo everybody else's comments. How did you make that bow! Can't wait to see what you'll make next. As always G45 papers are the best to show off the art ideas. Have a great weekend at Pink Tulip!! :) Hugs, Ruth Ann xoxo

IndigoBlu Tags  Happy Friday everyone If your a follower of mine you 'll know that I've been off work for a while following an op, but my life as a lady of leisure came to an end this week when I returned to the world of totally british beautiful fast fast cars and ones that go anywhere!!  I had a wonderful welcome back from my colleagues so thanks to everyone for making my first day as good as it was.  I thought I'd feel like the new girl, not able to remember anything, but just like riding a bike it all came flooding back :-) Now I feel like I've not been away lol!!!    I cant deny I'm not pleased its the weekend and I've got time to re charge my batteries before attempting another 5 days on the trot :-)  As I've just joined the IndigoBlu team official this week I thought I'd share a couple of tags with you made with stamps from the  Pomp and Pageantry and Grand Tour 1 plates and the ledger background which I really love.  Tag 1 IndigoBlu
