It's the weekend - have a good one!

Morning readers,

I've a make to share with you today ... we crafters hate waste don't we? Well, I broke in to a 6" x 6" sheet of double sided designer paper recently and made two cards from one piece cut to 5" x 3½" and was left with a sizeable strip - so, what to do with it? Now, I COULD have made an ATC but then most of the fab pattern would have been obscured so .... hope you like it, it's the last, I PROMISE!

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
• Card in light tan and white, for my card front, insert and matting layer
• Snippets of card in designer paper (Pink & Main "Tuxedo party"), white and black
• I cut my designer paper in to narrow strips and, using double sided tape, affixed them to my card front. I cut the ends at an angle using a small pair of scissors
• Visible Image sentiment (from VIS-HAP01) stamped on to my white snippet using Versafine Clair nocturne ink before matting on to a snippet of embossed black card

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

1. Paper Rocks Scissors - challenge No. 11 - ANYTHINGI (using paper and scissors) GOES
2. Snippets Playground - challenge No. 521 - USE SNIPPETS
3. Penny's Paper Crafty - challenge No. 611 - ANYTHING GOES (their FINAL challenge)
4. Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - Dec challenge - ANYTHING GOES

Since it IS the season of goodwill, I try to see as many of my friends as I can fit in, during December. Yesterday it was the turn of my two oldest friends, we'll always be friends (they know too much!) - we lunched at an Italian restaurant close to one of them (which meant we could walk) and we enjoyed a lovely mean. At the end of our meal when we were full but fancied a little something sweet .. we requested a portion of profiteroles and three spoons .... they went several steps better and served three plates with a profiterole on each and beautifully presented ... my raspberry was balanced on the top but took a nosedive just as I was about to photograph it - thanks Antica Roma!
