Thinking of You - Hillside Cottage - AHSC 579

Your in my Thoughts - AHSC #576

Wow, we are in May already, January and February seemed so long but since then time seems to be flying and boom, we are in May! I have the first of the May sketches for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for you today. Since the closure of Close to My Heart, I am working on a bit of stash busting so I pulled out the Hillside Cottage papers to pair with my new Flowers of Beauty stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I have decided to take the leap of faith and join Stampin' Up!, they gave us an incredible offer to join and have been so good to us. It still feels so unreal to me, a definite loss but I am excited about what the future with Stampin' Up! looks like. The ink colours I chose are all now retired CTMH colours of Blue Belle, Canary, Espresso, and New England Ivy.

This weeks card is only featuring the Peach patterned paper but you can see Flamingo, Glacier, Seabrook, and Honey Butter in the flowers with Sage leaves.
