OK. I'll admit it. I'm hoarding this grey polka dotted paper by October Afternoon. It's just . . . perfect in every way. You can use a teeny bit of it, or a lot of it and it looks lovely either way. I only used a smidge of it here. *LOVE* I would totally buy a 24 sheet package of just this grey polka dotted paper. Then, I would use it with abandon, knowing I have gobs more left. Yup. I would.
See my little butterfly punched out of text patterned paper? So cute! What is it about text that has always appealed to me since, well, pretty much ever? I used to buy old books at the goodwill store and tear out the pages and use those. And then scrapbook companies started producing them in heavier weight paper, card stock, yadda yadda. Talk about making my wildest dreams come true! I find them irresistible. I'd buy a 24 sheet package of that stuff, too.
This super fun graphic flower stamp makes me so happy--it comes with a "center" image, of dots within a ring of dots, mounted on the side of the block. I stamped that in grey, to echo the polka dotted paper I knew I was going to use. This is a layout I could use over and over and over again!
Hope you had a marvelous weekend--the Mr. went out to sea and came back with crabs. YAY!!! We ate like kings, I tell ya'!
