Morning crafters, or is it afternoon. I've had a day or two off after our fabulously crafty weekend, picked up my new car yesterday and have been enjoying tootling around catching up on errands that had to go on hold last week. It's back to the day job today, there's paper everywhere lol!!! and lots of creativity going on that I'll share with you soon. It's all about Springtime over on the Graphic 45 blog today. Annette and I are sharing two of our Once Upon a Springtime projects so I'm going to head over myself and take a look. What a delightful collection this is. I started crafting after it was released the first time round and don't think I'd made any projects with the papers up to now, so making the shadow box was all the more fun. The adorable characters were crying out to be lifted from the papers and made into a scene, something I love doing with Graphic 45 papers. Most of the characters came from the signature sheet and one or two; the frog and fairy layered frames that draw your eye to the middle. I added a hint of iridescence to the fairy wings, but you can t really see that in the photos. Here's the link to the shadow box if you'd like to make one yourself
and some close ups of the detail;

I've got the papers out on the table mocking up a Once Upon a Springtime project for the workshop I'm doing with Isobel, at Scotch Lodge Farm on Friday 10th April. If you d like to come along and join us call Isobel direct on 01604 810910.

Afternoon Clare, I totally agree with everything that has already been said. This project is just so stunning and I am in awe of your patience when it comes to the fussy cutting. Can't wait to see what's in store for us over the next couple of months. Take care
