So, what have I been creating with my American Craft Papers? Well lots of things in fact. Firstly another LO featuring my new craft of crochet. The paper colours and patterns lent themselves well to the colours of the yarn I am using and the perfect excuse to use plenty of buttons. This has to be an all time record for the amount of buttons I have ever used on any craft project. 36 in all! And not even a dent made in my button stash. I keep looking at the stripy paper and thinking of Liquorice Allsorts!
Next I was very brave and reckless and cut into NEW pieces of 12x12 papers and covered all my little embellishment jars that sit on my shelves. They look so pretty....and still I think of Allsorts!
The most recent American Craft craftiness is to be seen on my mini book of snow. This just needs a few tweaks to finish and then i will reveal all in my next post.
Now where is that box of Allsorts?

Lovely pp paper and great layout. I love your lids of your jars what a busy day you have had. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat excellent button usage! I hope the crochet isn't going to take over the scrapbooking, mind you! Great layout
ReplyDeleteNo, I really don't think the crochet will take over! It's taken me since before christmas to do 4 squares. I will persevere though scrapping will always be my fav.
ReplyDeleteLove the LO especially all the little buttons. And the jars look good enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE you jars !! Have you glued the side strips? So Gorgeous! I am the green eyed monster !
ReplyDeleteThose storage jars look so pretty - well done you for cutting the paper lol!
ReplyDeleteThe jars are sooooooooooo pretty, at least you can look at the papers every day now with the jars on show. Such a good idea:)
ReplyDeleteOoh. Lovely. I love the layout and your jars are so pretty. Hmmm...I'm thinking about getting back into scrapbooking again ...
ReplyDeleteYes Helen, I did stick on the side strips of the jars. The lids where black to begin with so was quite easy to cover and let the black show through on the edges.
ReplyDeleteLove the lids of the jars - fantastic! Everyone who's read your post will now have the sudden urge to save glass jars, pretty paper, and re-organise their embellishments :)
ReplyDeleteoh my .... LOVE ... LOVE ... LOVE what you've done to those jars :) ... have to say it was worth cutting into that gorgeous paper. And I'm so impressed with your crochet ...ok, you've given me the push I need LOL.
