Scrappy fun :)

Oh yes...I played.
Krissy sent me this gorgeous vintage kit from Wicked Princesses *sigh*
I love this kit.
My fave part is Krissy's vintage blossom. And in true 'Kirsty' style, I haven't used it yet. I do this. I buy something I love and then 'save' it. For forever. Until I forget why I saved it...but rest assured, I am working on another LO which WILL have the blossom....or not ;)



I made twisty roses out of sewing patterns :)
I love the soft tissuey feel of my old sewing patterns, so I figured they would be perfect for flower making!

Unfortunately the humidty meant my crackle paint didn't crackle quite the way it shoulda. Ah well...
And this quick, simple LO, that really is all about the journalling.



I wanted this story recorded before I forgot. I forget quickly....



And a pop dotted butterfly:)
Go check out Wicked Princesses to see the new Apple Jack and Nerdy Bird kits...WAY cool!
