I've changed my name & a manly card

Hi everyone,

Firstly I just want to say no you are not going crazy! This is/was Pajalus Paper & Fabric Addiction.  As you can see I have decided that I needed to have a bit of a change.  I felt that my blog's name didn't really suit who/what I do.  Since the majorityof what I blog about is cards & most of my cards are made from scraps.  I felt that I needed to change the name of my blog to reflect that.  Then decided to go the "whole hog" & change a few other things as well.  Hope you like the new name/look :D.

Now onto the important stuff - my latest card ;-D  which is for Mike. 
What do you think?  Is this blokey (manly) enough?  Like many of you (I'm guessing) out there, I don't have much in the way of manly stamps, papers, etc.  So as per usual I had a rumage through my ice cream bucket of scraps & found these bits of Curio papers from Basic Grey to make the "bones" of my card.  I then had a good look through my Hero Arts stamps to see what I could use.  The tree seemed ideal, as it reminded me of saying (which I can't remember) about how trees can stand tall in strong winds, it seemed to be a good idea at the time.  Then the band behind the sentiment is just one section from CG112 Hello (go here to see the stamp).  I really like the way it turned out.

Happy crafting every one :) xoxoxoxoxo

90 Minute Scramble


Hi everyone,
I did my very first 90 Minute scramble on the Hero Arts' flickr group today. It was a lot of fun & if I am truthful a little stressful for me. I need to remember one of my New Year's resolutions - to sit back, relax & BREATHE.
There where two themes to choose from. The first was to use one 2010 & one 2011 stamp. The second was New Year. Since I don't own any 2011 stamps I had to do the New Year theme. So what do you think? I am so-so about this card. I think it needs something more (but then again I always think that), but I wont be adding to it. I've decided it can stay that way. Ever since I read Kathy's tutorial (with lots of yummy pictures) on backgrounds, I have been playing with my Distress Inks.
Thanks for stopping by, TTFN & happy crafting everyone ;)
PS When did blogger change & does anyone know how to move the pictures you upload to the entries? PLEASE help me I have no idea what I am doing!
