Normally I'm very happy when it gets to Friday but unfortunately that
means it's the end of my week off work :( Hey ho, at least I got to do
some relaxed crafting rather than squeezing it in in the evenings!
Anyway, I'm here today with my make today using newbie Quixotic Paperie goodies and I'm still sticking with the experimenting (with much encouragement from lovely blog mates Sue and Lisa who, might I add, are both brilliant at shabby chic so I have a lot to live up to!)...
I love dies and these new romantic style SCACD dies are at the top of my list! This gorgeous fan is called Nature's Tapestry and the detail is amazing. I matched it up with the romantic Splendid papers from Authentique. So I hope Sue and Lisa approve! It's not as shabby chic as it should be, but I think I need to buy more shabby chic style materials, like pretty paper flowers. Any other advice on helping me get to the essence of the style is most welcome please!
