My Most Favourite Set...Gone...

I just had to have this Fishy Friends set before it retired. Such a shame. It is a pleasure to watercolour and so easy to match to any of the designer papers. What a great card for those avid fishermen out there. I recently made one for a work colleague and everyone loved it.

The colours used are Old Olive and Chocolate Chip card with Windsor Knot stripped paper. By watercolouring with Old Olive and So Saffron, it all ties together. "It's your day... ENJOY" is from the On Your Birthday stamp set.

One for the Kids.

I received the new Party Hearty stamp set as part of my starter kit and will make good use of it for the numerous cards I make throughout the year for the kids in my family.

The template for the card I have used here is one from the 2008-2009 catalogue. I have matched Brilliant Blue and Only Orange card and ink with the now retired Jersey Shore designer series paper. By raising the centre of the 'b' and adding some white brads, it has given the card a 3D effect.

An Eastern Bloom Creation......

I just love the new 'in colour' Pink Pirouette and have matched it here with Chocolate Chip and kraft card. The inks I have used are Chocolate Chip and Old Olive. To add a little details I used the scallop punch and some hemp twine.

The flowers I have stamped and raised using the Eastern Bloom set and the words are one of twelve from the On Your Birthday stamp set. I hope you like it.

New Supplies

I wanted to wait until my supplies from the new catalogue arrived before I posted any pictures. Here they are, and now I can't decide where to start.

I am so pleased with the new designer series papers, they are all beautiful. I chose Bella Rose, Windsor Knot and Urban Garden. I couldn't resist the Bugs and Kisses and Cheers To You Stamp Sets and a few of the 'in colour' ribbons.

New Site and Catalogue.

I have just put this site together and received my first stamps from the new 2009 - 2010 catalogue, so please check my site again soon for any new creations or promotions that are coming up.
