Hello Spring!

 Hello everyone,

hope you all having a great weekend!

I just wanted to make a quick post about all 

the spring crafting going on in my studio

and also share a bit of news.

In reascent years I started working with old books and old book pages,
the reason for this was my dislike of troughing anything out,
("No I'm not a hoarder" I call it collecting),
and I accumulated quiet an assortment of old, well loved, yellow books,
which needed a new purpose.
So recycling or better upcycling was the way to reduce my stash a bit.   
This is one of my upcycle Spring Bunnies😊
Repurposed with love!
I found the tutorial on Instagram and just dressed him up with
some flowers and ribbon.
There are so many possibilities with this craft, so I'm sure you will
be seeing more of my old books in the future.
If you interested, here is the link to Katerina Skripnik's instructions.
I hope I gave you an idea for re/upcycling some of your stash.

The laser also got a workout,
I'm in love with personalized bunny tags and the two
you see are for the grandkids.

Well, now on to a bit of exiting news.
After many years of debating the ins and outs of owning
my own business and many times talking myself out of the idea for
one reason or another I finally walked myself through
the doors of the courthouse and registered my business!!!
It is still a work in process and I'm hoping to get things up and
going in the next few weeks.
So, let me introduce you to

Productline will be mainly Greeting Cards and Laser cut/engraved items.
If you see anything on this blog you like,
please feel free to message/ e-mail me for more information.
I'm excited to start a new chapter in my life and can't wait to see where it will take me!
And no, I will not be changing the name of my blog,
MyPaperDaisy
has been a huge part of my creative story and I intend to continue this journey.

Please stay tuned for more updates
and don't forget to visit my Instagram page!
Have an awesome week
and always remember to
Create Something Beautiful!

I'm still here!

 Hello everyone,

WoW, it sure has been a while since the last post!

Lots has happened since then, however I'm not quite ready to get into detail

of the live changing events in my live.

But as I superglue and duct tape my life back together, I want to assure you

I will be fine moving forward into a different and new normal.

The events over the last 2 years have taught me a valuable lesson:

Life is short, every day is a gift, tomorrow is not guarantied.

So live life to its fullest, make as many memories as you can 

because at the end that's all you have left to hold onto in your heart.

So enough of the pity party
and on to business.
Some of you might follow me on my 
Instagram page and know that I haven't totally fallen of the 
face of the earth.
Actually, I have been quite busy with cardmaking, knitting
and an amazing new adventure in laser cutting and engraving.
 
Here are some of the creations ...












... and last but not least this pink beauty.
Playing with pattern repeats to 
create a curvy texture!

If I sparked your interest
just hop on over to my 
Instagram page and find out
more about my newest 
creations! 


Well, that's all for today,
remember,
Live life to it's fullest!
Create something beautiful!

Till next time!

Diana
