It's been a busy Sunday so far here today at 'H' towers.. this is my second creation already!
The new Craft Barn
alpha challenge was announced this morning and it's O. I was flipping through my dictionary and came across 'overlap'. I then caught sight of my overflowing scraps box.... and the page was virtually done!
the papers are from the fabulous Paperartsy Thorndon Hall collection and left over from a project that - ahem - didn't quite work out - hence being relegated to the scrap pile!
I cut them into strips and covered the page, overlapping the strips along the way.
I then did some further overlapping with a Paperartsy mini flourish stamp MN96, which is a new one, and just gorgeous...
Think this must be the quickest ever!!
Thanks for looking.
Fab idea, funny how just looking around sparks an idea isn't it - looks great!!
