Well ive been trying my hardest to get inspiration with my boyfriends stash - but it just wasnt happening ! His papers just arnt MY papers lol ... so we took a trip to hobbicraft in Southampton and i saw this american craft paper . Now i dont know about you but i get inspired by paper ...the patterns and colours are a big inspiration for me. Calvin said he would never have chosen this paper but i love it ! There wasnt much there really - but i got a few papers .
Having been down here for over a week , im really missing my own stash lol , my stamps for one thing ! I didnt what to spend tons of money on some new stamps and having copics / prismas means that downloads are a fab option. I got the image from The graphics Factory - theres loads there but most is not for me - however i did find quite a few of these gorgeous little elf girls. I really wanted to have some images that were different and i think ive found them !


I added crackle accents to the flowers and paper and a zoomz from http://www.dewdropcraftz.co.uk/

Hope your all having a fab New Years Day !

Missing my stash too Maddy but have NO stash here to play with :-( No crafty shopping yet either :-( Lovely work as usual hon
Well there are those who would say that stash is stash is stash ... but if it doesn't 'speak' to you then it just ain't happening is it??
Well done you for finding something to tide you over until you get home to your own stash ... with a capital S. T. A. S. H.

Hi Maddy. Stunning work as usual. There is a little something on my blog for you. xx
Wonderful card,love the image.
It's gorgeous Maddy :) And I agree you have to have the right paper for inspiration. I really struggled to get going with my Christmas cards due to the kit I was using. I ended up downloading some nice papers from http://summertimedesigns.blogspot.com/. She's got loads on her blog and they're all free.
Happy New Year :)
