Greenhouse Card With Sincere Salutations

Hi all,

Okay, here's my last card in the Greenhouse Garden/Mellow Moss & Cameo Coral series :) I've really enjoyed playing with this stamp set and colour combo to create my fourth and final card for now. I think I've exhausted Greenhouse Garden stamp set for a little while and hopefully these cards have given you some inspiration.

Countdown till the Mini Catalogue.

Hi all,

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you that hopped over to my blog since Sunday's Mini Blog Hop went live at 10am :) It's so lovely to get so many nice comments on my creations and it was equally lovely blog hopping to all the other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that took part in the Mini Blog Hop that was organised by Helen.

I hope I've given you some ideas on using "Framed "With Love" stamp set and that it really doesn't need to be for scrappers only. I can't wait till 1 hours time when the Mini Catalogue, not that I'm counting, becomes available to you to purchase from :) I'll be putting in an order this weekend, so if you should wish to place an order with me, please do not hesitate to contact me on alexhau@rocketmail.com and I shall be happy to order your wish list however big or small :)

Take care,

Bye for now,

Alex
