I managed to use some fairly old snippets of aqua card stock and some newer brown snippets as well. But the best part was that I got to use some NBUS for a treat.
The elements on this card are BoBunny 3D elements from a Christmas open house day at my LSS (back in Dec, 2013). They had grab bags you could buy that day...for a small price! They were chock-a-block full of papers and full collections. Great fun!
I left the inside blank so I could write a letter!

Great card using old stuff Maureen. It's a great idea and I really must do something like this to use up some of the mountain of paper I have collected. Hope you are well and that things are okay with your mum. Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant New Home card Mo! Love the colours and a great design.
ReplyDeleteGo you, still on the buying ban - my guess is that Sook Wang is something of an adhesive tape>
Hugs, Di xx
