I am up early today as I am waiting for workmen to arrive to do some work in the house.
I thought I would show you these cards I made the other day. I was playing about with my Spellbinders border dies - I bought a set afew weeks ago and I thought they were cutters but when I got home they were embossers so I had to buy 2 more sets with the cutting edgers in!! Anyway I was playing around and ended up with afew embossed/ cut edges so I decided to make a card, got out a piece of 8 x 8 lilac patterned paper and made a card. Isn,t this Happy Birthday stamp lovely? (from Docrafts on a sheet I bought ages ago)

There was still some paper and borders left so I decided to make another.

I have just posted two boxes of scrap back to UK for ladies on the Docrafts forum to use in their nursery schools and they cost nearly 15 GBP but I do so hate wasting anything and would rather someone get some use from it. So, by doing this, there was no waste left from the 8 x8 piece of paper and my charities gain 4 cards from it too.
Have a good day
