Happy Birthday - Butterfly Basics

Hello again, and Happy Australia Day.

While tidying my craft area in preparation for the delivery my Sale-A-Bration order, I came across a few sheets of 2013-15 In Colour card stock and matching embellishments.  So, I thought rather than have it sit hidden for another 12 months, I should use it now.

Here are the cards I made using the Butterfly Basics and the retired Happy Birthday, Everyone stamp sets.  I think I went a bit overboard with the ferns on a couple of them, but overall I'm happy with the look. The idea for these cards from a blog I follow - www.scrappingandstampiningj.blogspot.com

I love the size of the Happy Birthday sentiment.  Using this stamp, and the retired paper got me thinking that there must be a lot of crafters who, like me use new stamps and papers and forget about older favourites or retired stamp sets.   

Watch this space, because once a month I'll endeavour to showcase some current forgotten or retired products.  I just need a catchy phrase.  If you think of something, feel free to suggest it.    

In the meantime, have a good week.

Bye for now,
