Weekend Find on Etsy

This weekend I'm featuring a lovely lady from Japan who I recently purchased some goodies from. Her name is Karen and she sells the most awesome tape...called Washi masking tape. Made from Japanese washi papers. You'll see it grace my pages quite a bit from now on. I've just finished a couple of pages using it!!

Remember the layout I did not long ago, featuring the new butterflies...



















Well, the aqua and green strips are the washi tape.
Fabulous stuff. It added plenty of colour to my page in this layout! 

Here's some close ups...















































It has a sort of a waxy feel, and can be used on scrapbooking pages, it can stick up presents, you can write on it and it has plenty more uses...I just love the stuff.

Karen's Etsy shop is called Wasimatta, and she's lovely.
Very helpful and a great seller. I highly recommend her!!

She also as a blog, with plenty of yummy new items.
I might be putting in another order very soon! ;)
Be sure to check her out!!

New Butterflies

I've added some hand-punched butterflies today.
The music butterflies are cut from Vintage music sheets and the text butterflies from a 15yr old novel. By Etsy terms, not quite vintage just yet! (It's got to be 20yrs to be classed as vintage)

Each are $2 for a set of 12 butterflies.

Here's the Music butterflies...


















and the Butterflies from the text...


















I've also had a play today and done a sample using each butterfly - music and text.


















Close-up of the butterfly...














A card using the text butterflies.


















So, they can be stitched on, glued, use some mounting foam or dressed up with bling, buttons, pearls, glitter, painted or whatever you can think of!

Weekend Find on Etsy

I found this gorgeous jacket today...
I can so see myself wearing this, maybe in red though.
Isn't the cut of the jacket beautiful??

It's created by Pink Roses1220.
Sady her Mum has passed away and she's not sure if she'll continue with her Etsy shop.
Very sad...she makes beautiful things!

















Just thought I'd share!

Chelley Bean Designs Article

With so much going on over Christmas, New Years and then a holiday...I've hardly had time to mention my article, that I wrote all about Chelley Bean Designs that was published in Scrapbooking Memories Vol.11 No.12.
Very exciting indeed.
Talk about a great 2 page spread...I was very excited to see it in the flesh.
It's all about Chelly Bean Designs and how it began and maybe where I'm going.

If you didn't see it, there's a pic below...









































How can you not get excited?

In other news, I've been featured again on Etsy today in a turquoise treasury this time.
I'm loving all this exposure...
