These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things....


Some of my favourite things in life are the colour pink and a black and white stripe. Fun Fact: I have an especially deep love for horizontial black and white striped shirts, I really can't resit them and have then in all the styles from singlets to jumpers and in all kinds of stripe variants....obsessed.

 So this is a card that is made up of a few of my favourite things, actually a lot of things becuase I do love black, white and pink as a colour story and like a magpie anything shiny and glittered will always have my heart. When I saw this Creative8 stencil at my LSS, I knew that it had to come home with me. I have never stencilled with black ink before but I love the finished look, I wil have to play again with using black with stencils.

 Speaking of favourite things, that striped paper.
Not only do I love a stripe but that particular stripe comes from a piece of really old pattern paper that I have been hoarding for a long while.
For those who are old timers in this hobby you might remember a little company called KI Memories and some collections they bought out under the Love, Elise brand. I LOVED these lines and I loved Elsie, her scrapbooking style was a bit different to mine but she wasd a breath of fresh air for me. She loved bold colours and patterns and in terms of age and lifestyle was more my lane. I still have a few sheets stashed away from her collections and I love being able to pull them out from time to time. Getting the maximum use out of your supplies makes me super happy and I love when I can pull out something that I have had for 15+ years and incorporate it with new supplies, that makes my heart happy.
