Welcome to Pretty Paper Junkie's first post.
Instead of trying to breath new life into a sorely neglected blog I though I would try to start over.
If you followed me as Pop Paper Scissors, you know that I have not posted for many months. My
creativity came to a halt as I focused on taking care of my husband. Sadly, all the love and care my children and I gave, could not keep him with us. My sweetheart got his wings August 27th, 2017.
Maybe I shared too much, but I want you to know I am going to be okay. Creating and blogging has been something I enjoyed and now I am going to use it again to help with the healing.
The new blog is still under construction, but I do have a project to share with you.
I made that little broom by rolling up some red card stock
and some burlap ribbon (same ribbon used to wrap
around the base). Then I wound some red wire around both
to tie them together. The pumpkins and berries were
plucked off some floral picks I bought at Michaels.
The flowers in the little window flower boxes are
some old stickers I found in my spare parts box.
My lack of photo skills are pretty obvious here but I
wanted to show all lit up. (I looks like I placed the roof
lid on on a little crooked too.) The glitter paper shows up,
but but the colors are all wrong.
This was project was created using an SVG Cuts cutting file. Love that company. You should take a look. All the papers I used are from DCWV. The patterned paper is DCWV's Tim Coffey paper pad and has the most delicious fall papers.
The foil roof was embossed with a Cuttle Bug EF.
Let's see, is that it? Yup
