Over on UK Stampers we have been talking about our old papers, do we still like/stroke them or if we have some that we really would never use what would we do with them?Above are some of my papers that I know I would not use as they are (not that there is any thing wrong with them) so I decided to 'alter' them and here is the results!
Here are the papers in the same order after they have been inked, spritzed and screwed up!Much more useable for my taste.
Here are the tags I made from them. (Silly me didn't put them in the same order) The 1st is paper no 3, 2nd tag is no 2. 3rd tag is no 5.
The 4th tag is no 6 paper and the 5th tag is no 1 paper.You may have noticed that there are only 5 tags and 6 papers well I had a little accident with paper no 4 I spilt a cup of tea all over my desk when the phone rang and made me jump and the tag got completely ruined! Oh well never mind I had a fun afternoon!

What an amazing idea! I recently went through my papers of several years ago and bemoaned the fact that I had "wasted" all that money. You have now given me a new lease on old supplies!
awesome. Love your new papers!
Fab stuff, and much more useable now !!
What a good idea to do up the old papers to use them now. I do have a nuber of papers that I will not use, still needing to stroke them and love them.
