Messing about with paper

I spent some of Sunday afternoon making a small stash of Greeting Cards to be used in the first few months of this year for loved ones. Instead of making a card here and there I'm much better at sitting down and making a few in one go. My main aim was to use us lots of mismatched scraps that I had lying around. Bits and pieces that I just couldn't bear to throughout as I knew they would have a use at some point! I'm a bit of a dithering and often can spend an absolute age trying to work out how to put things together so I had a look on the Internet and came across 2 Sketches 4 You - a lovely template site which really did help with. Add some Ink, Rubber Stamps, Buttons and Flowers and I was off - a very happy afternoon of making.

Kitchen Bunting

Last Year, I was fortunate to win a rather lovely give away from the equally lovely Ada from Vintage Sheet Addict. It was a completely joyful package of Vintage Wallpapers and Vintage Sheet Fat Quarters. The above photo from Ada's Blog shows you the loveliness that was so kindly bestowed.  I pondered for quite from time what do with them as I wanted to make the very best use out of them. Well we live in a Victorian Terraced house and the Kitchen it tiny, like minuscule! So just after Christmas we put a shelving unit in the Kitchen to hold my Baking Supplies and it very much needed prettifying.

Also last year, I bought some wooden bunting wood shapes from Etsy. I knew I would use them but they were stashed away. Well today was the day - out came the wallpaper, wooden bunting and other bits and pieces including my beloved Twine.

Within 15 minutes, it was done and up in the Kitchen. Boy, I love a quick project, sometimes making blankets just seem to take forever and some quick is just the ticket. Thank you Ada for the beautiful give away - it has made a rather dull shelving unit far more beautiful. Gosh I really love love love Floral Bunting.
