I tend to check my Calendar month by month and like to have cards created and completed prior to the must make syndrome..................a peek through the first 2 months in 2011 meant needing 17 cards................eek. Four of which needing to be male cards........and we all have it "the male what shall I make block."
Fortunately whilst enjoying the Papercrafts Extravaganza at the Harrogate Showground last September I came across the Lili of the Valley stand.....and as usual a beautiful display of stunning cards and stamps. However previously I hadn't noticed their cute squares - a set of 20 squares in a little display wallet......a must have. Fortunately I was shopping with my very good friend Sue and we decided to purchase an assortment of sets and share them........what a delight.
The cards pictured were created using the cute squares vintage boys set...... alongside vintage 12" x 12" papers and craftwork cards card candy, The sentiments are stamps from Lili of the Valley recently purchased................I didn't think that my usual choice for embellishments, prima flowers and / or ribbon would be appreciated!
Those are all great cards - I'm a big LOTV fan too!

Hi Helen, Yes I am liking LOTV more and more. I remember when they began years ago it was very much matting and layering with repeated images.............now I just ooh and ahh. Their stamps are beautifully drawn, never hard lines with lots of chance for creativity.....xx
