A story to tell...

TGIF my friends!

Any crafting plans for this weekend? Nothing special on the calendar for me but maybe I'll get into my crafty room on Sunday to do a much needed clean and organize. I think that I've been bitten by a spring cleaning bug and I would love a few solid days to just totally go through and take stock of everything... maybe even find new homes for some of it that have been going unloved. No telling when that will really happen though. 

And even though my mind is currently on cleaning that doesn't mean that I'm not getting a few new goodies here and there. These tiny little wood veneer birds where hard to resist and they are absolutely perfect sized embellishments for us card makers. I also got some tiny stars and hearts that I can't wait to play with as well. I paired the birds up with this On Top of the World Gorjuss Girl because the original image has a couple of birds around her, though I trimmed them away. Oh, and a quick PSA on the Crate Story Teller 6x6 paper pad... the prints are not scaled down from the 12x12 size. Well, one of them is, the blueprint looking paper, but all of the rest are exactly the same which is a disappointment. Especially since the aerial map prints really needed to be shrunk down to work well on cards. I don't get why Crate would revert back to this and I hope it's not a sign of things now that they are under the American Crafts umbrella. Still, the papers are fun and I love the mix of colors and prints in it... kind of vintage with a summer time vibe.

Alright, time to get out there and enjoy your Friday folks. See ya in 24! :)
