paper haul

Haulin’ It!! — Patterned paper

I am working on a project for my son’s class to pick up a few things and then I came across one of those sales that you can’t pass up. The 12×12 paper pads that are normally $19.99 were on sale for $5.99. That’s the price I pay for 6×6 pads. So needless to say, three pads jumped into my basket. I thought I would share a few pages that I really liked at of each pad. Since sometimes it’s hard to know from just the picture of the covers of them.

Come on…teacups, you know I had to have this paper. I love the pastel colors. I could even simply cut one out and put on the front of a card.

This one makes me think of pretty wrapping paper. It’s prettier in person.

Butterflies..need I say more. Ok for those who don’t know me, I love butterflies and elephants. So if a craft product has either, I must have it.

There are also some pretty vibrant colors included too that will be great for some of my summer projects.

Can’t get enough of floral patterns. Will look pretty on a card or a home decor project.

And finally what would spring projects be without umbrellas? So happy this page was included.

So that’s it for my patterned paper haul from Michael’s. If you get a chance to pick them up, I think they are worth the money.

AC Moore Haul: Amazing paper sale

Hello! I must first give you the background so that you will find me innocent in ‘the case of a craft shopaholic’! Yesterday, I took the boys to lunch and to the movies. I recently signed up for an online watercolor for cardmakers. It sounded like something that can help expand my product offerings on Etsy. So I parked my car near AC Moore with the intention of buying one of the water color sets recommended on the syllabus. However, on my way to the arts section, I saw this…A Managers’ Special. Those yellow labels popped and I looked and then I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy 12×12 pads of paper for $6.88. That would simply be insane. So I loaded one into my cart. Then I turned and saw 6×6 pads being sold for $2.99. I could not resist. They are what I use for my cards. So I loaded up the cart. Mind you, I have yet to reach the art section to pick up my watercolor set. After stuffing many pads in my cart, I managed to find the art section and locate the water color set.

So that little watercolor set in the middle is what I originally went in for and the pile beneath is my actual purchase.

I have yet to get my video process ready so I thought I would share pictures of the pads of paper I selected and show you two of my favorite papers in each:
