It Started With A Bag…

Firstly, I will say…I’M BAAAAACK….

After a long hiatus from blogging and stamping in general I have finally got myself organsied. I have been busy with a few things 1. work 2. last years tax return (yes 2011/2012) 3. General organisation/clean up of my house AND last but certainly not least 4. Renovating my craft room…. how exciting… I will post pictures when I have finalised the finishing touches, I am waiting on paper storage cubes to be made, but so far the results are awesome.

Anyway, I have jumped straight back into my cardmaking, and one thing I am often asked is “where do you get your ideas from?” well last nights card ‘started with a bag’ my new Guess bag to be exact, I loved the detailed Guess design fabric with holes in that showed a glimmer of silver material in the background, this started my idea for a card.

I also wanted to try and incorporate something similar to the Guess logo…

I searched my craft room for ‘the right’ papers, I still have a stash of retired Mocha Morning Specialty Paper, I LOVE this DSP… one of the patterns was perfect for punching holes using my crop-o-dile (yes the holes were individually punched)

Here is the final result, I decided this card was the perfect design for a special occasion Birthday, I also used a key from Trinket Keys and the Silver Glimmer Paper just finished it off…
