When we were renovating our bathroom, I make numerous trip to Home Depot, and I "collected" a few paint chips, after the bathroom is done, I thought, what can I do with these paint chips, oh yes, make something, LOL!
I used the paint chips to make a few cover page for my little organizer...
but I wasn't too happy with these, so I came up with another card....
hmm..... now I am happy!
the flowers is a stamp set from Studio Katia, and leaves die cut is Papertrey Ink.
Come play along with us at....
pretty card
