THE ONE!

Image

SHIMELLE'S new class 'Pretty Paper Party' starts today, and her first prompt suggests that we share a picture of  a sheet (or a few) of our favourite paper(s), which we have found difficult to use....not because we don't like it, or don't know what to do with it! 

No, no!....the reason for not being able to use it is because we LOVE it so much, and we haven't been able to find the perfect LO and picture to do it justice!

I knew exactly the paper to hunt for in my stash


It's a MME paper from 2007.....I bought it in a Scrapbook store here in Spain (unfortunately the store closed a few years ago!). I absolutely  loved the paper..still do...but was just never able to bring myself  to do anything with it, except to bring it out every now and then and 'adore' it!

It is now lying out on my scrappy table, and I'm hoping promising that it will be used over the next four weeks....along with others from my stash that have 'just been waiting'!

Thanks for dropping by!
take care of you
Alison xx

  2. That is a lovely piece of paper. I always worry that if I use a piece I love then a better picture will come along but then I tell myself that the lovely piece of paper will be in my album for everyone to see :) xx

  3. It's lovely. I always struggle with those sort of designs, as I don't want to cover it up! Looking forward to seeing it in a project :o)

  4. So glad you are in Shimelle's class also - it's going to be fun!

    Congrats on the weight loss! WTG And the NY album pages are coming along so nicely - how fun to use Shimelle's Starting Point as inspiration.

  5. Pretty piece of paper. I am just about to do this now. Catching up this morning as the second prompt yesterday came in way too late for me, I was asleep!

  7. I understand your dilema - I'd be so tempted to just frame it

  8. I haven't signed up for this one - too much going n at the minute - but I'm going to enjoy seeing what you all do, and how you use that paper.

  9. LOl, I think I have this in an MME kit which I have only used the papers out of that I didn't like as much. How daft are we!!!

  10. Lovely paper Alison - I've seen a few pins on pinterest using whole sheets of pp in frames that have looked delish. Perhaps you could try that if you still can't cut into it. I've signed up for this class too but not started on anything yet.

  15. Alison, I have several sheets of paper from that range, I love MME paper! But, do you think it is not used because the pattern is unusually placed on the paper? For me, that is the reason why some papers are not used even though I really love them ... not to mention I'm mostly digital these days ;-)

  18. Congrats on your weight loss!! (forgot this in my last message ;-) This is a pretty sheet of paper. I don't have that problem. I love to use up my pretty paper! Gives me an excuse to go buy more. (Not that I wait for an excuse - LOL! ~ Blessings
