It was a tense week at The Papercraft Sessions. One of my ladies was just 2 days away from her due date and we were all a little worried that she might give birth at any minute! Fortunately, she didn't, but I'm thrilled to say that she had a lovely little baby girl last night and both Mum and baby are doing well.
This week the main project was a cute double jotter pad with matching pencil and holder. I showed my age by saying it was ideal to keep by the phone... but was told that most folk have cordless phones now and so they were never in one place for long! Not restricted to phone messages though; these notepads would be great in your handbag or even for your grocery shopping lists.
Once again, everyone turned out smashing work and I just love that moment at the end when everyone's projects are put together for a photo.
The main feature of the co-ordinating greetings cards was the gorgeous flourish from the 'Baroque Motifs' set. The small telephone stamp used on the jotter cover is from a US Stampin' Up! set. The colours we used this week are, from l-r, Garden Green with Certainly Celery, Real Red with Regal Rose (2 in this colourway), Elegant Eggplant with Perfect Plum (2 in this colourway). If you're wondering why one of the last two jotters is lighter than the other, it's because one lady fell in love with the pattern on the other side of the double-sided patterned paper! I can't blame her, it's printed with the text from Shakespeare's Sonnet 83 - beautiful words.
