There it is. I could have, should have edited the photo to remove kitchen worktop and floor, sorry to distract! It’s a lovely set of papers, at 180gsm it’s nearly card and certainly has withstood the glue on the teeny Robin parts that one sheet has so far been cut into for. I know, it’s going to take years to use.
Oh look, bonus inclusion of my trivet in this picture!
Nice aren’t they. Probably not so overtly Christmas that in five years time when I haven’t used them for Christmas pages I can turn them to some other use. Time will tell. I took these pics in the kitchen because of the roof light, makes the light in my workroom seem a bit paltry on a dull day. Talking of dull….I got caught in one of those extremely sudden, extremely heavy downpours yesterday. I had to RUN. I’m still smarting.
Ooh those are indeed fabulous Julia - no wonder you couldn't resist them lol.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. No wonder you bought them. I will be strong and resist! Ali x
ReplyDeleteooh yes totally agree they are are lovely papers. I know what you mean about those showers too, i was out in one and thought "skin is waterproof" BUT then it got SO much heavier, so ducked into nearest bus shelter for cover!!

Thanks for showing us the papers in more details - they are beautiful, I would have bought them for sure! Sorry you got caught in a downpour - there have been some real humdingers the last few days.
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to buy Christmas papers, but what you showed, I would have been tempted, too. They are lovely, Julia.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be sold out everywhere I have looked - apart from one place which wanted to charge me £20 postage!
ReplyDeleteThe papers are so lovely, Julia. I'd have trouble cutting into them as well... but I'm learning. A fellow Stampin' Up! dem has coined the phrase #loveitchopituseit She claims are reason for not cutting into those pretty papers stems from childhood when we were taught that the 'good' dishes were only for special occasions kind of mentality. She may be right... or we're just hoarders at heart lol. Maybe start on Chrismtas cards for next year?

Gorgeous pad, love it. BJ
ReplyDeleteThese are the sorts of papers I can't resist buying at craft shows, and then never being able to bring myself to use! They are for stroking only! I've got 2 or 3 in that category. However, I am sure you will do something with yours, and I hpe you will share the results with us.

Oh I agree on lasting a long time, lots of beautiful variety. Hobby Lobby is only source 40 miles away, to order on line the freight 12x12 is 2x price of the paper. I've enjoyed using the 6x6 at about $5/6 The Christmas papers I have I've had a LONG time, in fact I went thru that stash looking for embossing folder and I've way too much of Holiday stash. See you tomorrow
