7 Gypsies' cards

ca

Hey , blogging friends ! Trust your first week of the New Year is off to a roaring good start !

Back here today to share some 7 Gypsies' card creations for a change .

I've used paper from the new 7G Lille 8x8 paper pad for this card , 

the sentiment is by Crafty Secrets &

 I misted up with MR's Antique Patina the MR scallop chipboard 

behind the sentiment. 

One of my scrappy goals I was more than happy with in 2010 

was spending half of the previous year's $ on stash. 

This year I have every intention of halving 2010's too ! ;) 

This card uses a mix of newer & older stash - 

the oldest being the trim just below the Crafty Secrets sentiment

( which i have adhered using Helmar's Quick Dry glue.

it's been so liberating working with the right adhesive in hand - 

I can stick schtuff in places I never used to be able to 

simply 'cos I didn't have the right adhesive ! uh huh ! oh yeah !!! )  

Happy , happy ! 

My final card today uses a mix of last year's 

Conservatory pp with even older Gypsie Market pp. 

I have to say after making these cards - that 7 Gypsies' paper 

collections have such a classic , timeless quality to their prints and patterns. 

No hurry to use them up for sure . ;) 

Passport to Adventure

Found time today to kick start 2011's scrapping - 

& put to work  new 7 Gypsies' Lille 8x8 pp here. 

Just to try something new -

 I used some burlap here with  the edges already fringed up. 

A fun rustic touch - the burlap - I'll have to have another go at it another time .

Love the look of pealized spritz on black cardstock here too.
