Summer & a card

Don't you just love summer? I do! And yes I complain with the best of them when it is hot & muggy but I would rather be too hot than too cold. So I have been a bad blogger (thanks for the kick in the pants Heather!) and spending my free time in the pool in our backyard. July was a very busy month - the only weekend we had free was the last. So, between the 4th, my parents 50th wedding anniversary (yay!), my birthday and my 20th high school reunion, the blog has taken a backseat.

The card I am sharing with you today was one I created for my friend Kristin who is also a Close To My Heart consultant. I ordered some stuff from her and mailed her my check along with this card. And no, I can't just put the check in an envelope and mail it. lol!

Just some printed cardstock and some stickers and viola! Simple but cute! 

Supplies

paper: printed, Jolly Holiday from Hobby Lobby paper pack (circa 2008)

accessories: "Thanks" - Thickers chipboard stickers, Shoebox. 
flower - K&Company felt stickers, Berry Sweet

Better late than never...

I made some cute little Easter pails for a few gals at work to give to their children and/or grandchildren. Sorry it has taken me so long to share but I was busy procrastinating with getting my blog up. I think they turned out really cute. I downloaded the grass file from here. I cut it out using my Pazzle digital cutter. For those of you that don't know what that is, it is similar to the Cricut but I don't have to use cartridges.

Supplies

stamp: studio G

paper: KI Memories, Stampin' Up 

ink: Stampin' Up

accessories: lots of ribbon, Prima flower, Doodlebug Design stickers

other: clear pail and shredded paper

very first post...

Hi Everybody!

Welcome to my blog Papier Collé.  I am trying to put together a site where people can go to reference projects & items that I have made. I participate in a number of craft fairs during craft show season so I thought it would be helpful to have a site where people can go to get more info on what I do, where I'll be, etc so…here it is! 

Papier Collé means pasted paper in French. My sister came up with the name and I think it fits what I do and represents my love of France. Merci beaucoup Jody for inspiring me! The logo was created by a good friend and work colleague who has her own graphic design business. It is exactly what I had envisioned. Thanks Heather!

I plan on posting pics of my work, projects I am working and stuff like that at least once a week, maybe more. Hopefully you enjoy what I share and will come back often to see what I am up to! Stayed tuned...
