Found myself some Christmassy papers! This lovely collection of red, white and green faux-knit papers. They’re very cute and I have some matching knitted ribbons floating around here.

Happy holidays!

Second Friday of December and, like, less than three weeks until the end of the year. Anyone else not ready for 2019 to end?

Anyone else not quite sure where the rest of 2019 actually went?

Happy holidays!

What I was going to do this month was make a whole Christmas kit, split it into bite-sized bits, and then offer it every Friday until the end of the year. Then at the end of December you’d have a nifty little kit for all your sparkly Christmas scrapping.

What I’m actually doing – digging into my stash and finding some backups because I have approximately 5 minutes of freedom a day until the end of the month (and year, eek) and I sure as heck didn’t have time to make a full Christmas kit.

But if you scroll below this post you’ll find a cute little Christmas mini kit in a non-traditional colour palette. That’s as good as it’s gonna get this year.

So lets begin!

Happy holidays!

I was in the middle of creating elements for my purple and pink and black and silver gothic-inspired kit, and I thought to myself, I like paperclips. I want all sorts of paperclip shapes. Where can I find paperclip shapes? Then I went looking for paperclip shapes.

I found a typeface instead. Check it out, it’s super cool and free!

And the result was this – a simple little paperclip alpha.

Happy scrapping!

We’re halfway through November. Yikes.

Lots of Christmas preparation happening right now – who am I kidding? Australia doesn’t have Thanksgiving so we pretty much get a head start on Christmas the day after Halloween.

It’s not like I’ve been listening to Christmas music non-stop for two weeks or anything, is it? (Ahem.)

These patterns look like snowflakes. They’re Christmassy without being too obnoxious for mid-November.

Happy scrapping!

I’m a sucker for gold accents on rich, dark hues. This week I have a lovely paper set of navy blue with beautiful and delicate gold patterns. They’re from a retired set of papers from long ago; I picked the best of the bunch, fixed them up and repackaged them into this nifty collection.

Happy scrapping!
