Waterlily Note Pad Holder

This is just a quick post as I am on kitchen duty tonight so need to get myself in there before I manage to find something more interesting to do and then the hubby won't be fed <g>.  I should add he is more than capable of cooking, he is meant to do 3 nights in the kitchen and me 3 night on the 7th night we starve lol.

What  a lovely time I had in my craft room today and for the first time in a couple of months fired up my Black Cat to do some cutting.  I made a note pad holder the other day and made an .svg file for the card and box shapes but ended up doing it by hand as it was a first attempt, from there I could modify the cutting file.  Anyway, end of that story and onto my project for today.

    1. Wow, I Love this note paper holder. Your colours are so beautiful and I love how your specially made flowers reflect the wonderful water lily of your image. The green leaf flourishes are so delicate and beautiful and the little gold flowers give a lovely touch of sparkle .

      Oh Treasure, I know you too well .....After reading your introduction I was enjoying your photographs and my attention was caught by your green pencil that matches the green in your image exactly. Initially I thought "was that luck or design" then I thought that it would be typical of you to think about colouring it yourself. Can you hear my hoots of laughter as I've read your ingredients? Brilliant and ingenious.

      This is awesome, beautiful, creative, .....and if you want more superlatives then I need to grab the thesaurus. Love you Treasure xxx ♥ ♥ ♥
