Get Well Soon

Hi all,

Hope you're having a great week so far.  Recently I was asked to make a Get Well Card for someone special, so below is a card to wish someone special a speedy recovery.

Stippled Blossoms Tri Fold Card

Hope you've had a nice weekend and all the snow has gone where you are :)

Recently purchased Stippled Blossoms as it's a close substitute to my beloved retired A Rose Is A Rose stamp set.  Had a play with pinks this weekend and this is what I made CASEd from Jenny Moors.

11 New Products - Reminder

Hi all,

Just wanted to remind any of you that have been eyeing up the Last Chance List/Idea Book & Catalogue/Mini Catalogue recently for anything that you want before items discontinue in the next few days that we still have the following items to buy that you may have over looked:

• Melon Mambo 1/2" (1.3 cm) Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon (item 115611)
• Rich Razzleberry 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon (item 115613)
• Soft Suede 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon (item 115612)
• Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper (item 115671)
• Flower Fantasy Printed Window Sheets (item 115705)

The Polka Dot Ribbons are gorgeous, and although the colours are new and are part of the Colour Renovation, these ribbons will not be in the new Catalogue (available to see on my blog from Friday). The same with the Cottage Wall Designer Series Papers, these are really lovely, so much so, that I've not really cut into mine! lol If you'd like to buy any of the above products listed now before it's too late, please let me know.

Here's a peek of what the Polka Dot Ribbons and DSP look like:


Have a good day.

Vintage Vogue - New Colours.

Yay: Happy Saturday everyone and welcome to the weekend :)

After receiving the new colours from Stampin' Up! recently, I couldn't wait to break open the packaging to play with my new favourite colour - YES, I'm in love with Melon Mambo! This new colour is one of three new colours that was released earlier this month and I teamed it up with another new colour called Soft Suede and an old favourite of mine, Barely Banana to make a card using Vintage Vogue - a stamp set I haven't played with in a little while :)

So, here's the card below using some of the new colours and accessories - don't you just love that Polka Dot Ribbon?!?
