To keep myself occupied, I have been playing round with some digi pages I purchased from Webster's Pages. The originals are 12x12 so I am still working out how to print them for cards. I have a selection of bits... some parts of paper, some I've printed out in 6x6 size and will cut down and some I printed out onto A4 paper. I decided to make a card, but printed the piece a bit small.... so some improvisation...some extra PP, punched edge and some ric-rack and here's what I did.
The flourishes are from a set by Rosie's Studio and the sentiment by Hero Arts. I had another go at a rolled rose... didn't turn out to bad. Added some stickles for a bit of shimmer and for the leaves, I added some folded velvet ribbon. This card is for someone special and as the rose adds bulk I decided to make an envelope box ( seen here at Splitcoaststampers) I added some more of the Webster's Pages that I printed out onto plain copy paper.
As this week's Simon Says Stamp Challenge is "Animal Antics" I am entering this card. I was trawling through the 'net and saw this challenge and thought it fitted perfectly for the card. I like when that happens!
Oh well, I have to go pay some bills on-line and finish reading the blogs on my list... so take care.

Well one has to ask is it worth downloading paper, and trying to print it the way you want! I have given up as I could never get it right, so Dawn you have done well and your card is great. Good advice from Sally, creating will help as it is what you love to do.
