Hi There!!!!

Well it's March, and with the new month come some pretty exciting Stampin' Up! News!!! First up, it means that the Brand Spankin' New Cattie is oh so close to being in our hot little hands... ooohh can't wait!!!! Of course with a new cattie means lots and lots of NEW, exciting and GORGEOUS goodies to choose from, but it also means that many of our favourite goodies in the current cattie will be retired.

Now, don't get me wrong, by no means am I excited to be losing some of my most BELOVED sets and accessories, but there are some AMAZING savings to be had and some wonderful NEW creations to be made. First up though, those AMAZING savings I mentioned... many of the items on the list are discounted by 25%.... YEP... Designer Series Paper from just $8.96...how CHEAP is that??? The current selection of In-Colour Ribbons from just $12.71 (unreal!!!!) and so many many more wonderful savings.

Kristina's Colour Challenge #43

FINALLY!!!! I'm participating in Kristina's Colour Inspriation Challenge this week... it's been a while since I've managed to sit down and make a card for it, and I'm so excited that I made it this week.

Here is the Inspiration picture for this week:-


The colours are Pumpkin Pie, Choc Chip, Ruby Red, Old Olive and Brocade Blue... Believe it or not I DON'T actually have ANY Brocade Blue so I've substituted and used Bashful Blue... I'm sure Kristina will forgive me!!!!

And here is the card I came up with:-

Again, a colour combo which is way outside of my comfort zone, that being PINK and GREEN (granted however there is a shade of green in this card!!)

I started with Whisper White and added a layer of Chocolate Chip to it and tied some Choc Chip Wide Grosgrain and White Ribbon together around the top. Then I used my Round Tab Punch to cut a piece of Blue, Olive, Ruby Red and Pumpkin Pie to make the larger circle behind the Scallop Circle. I've used the Sale-a-Bration set 'Congrats' for the sentiment which was coloured using my markers. The buttons are Pumkin Pie (coloured with my marker), Ruby Red, Old Olive, Bashful Blue and Choc Chip (also coloured with my marker).

Quite a simple looking card, but I hope you like it.

Thanks for dropping by.

Here's what I used:-

Stamps:- Congrats (Sale-a-Bration)
Card:- Whisper White, Choc Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, Old Olive, Ruby Red
Ink:- Whisper White
Accessories:- Old Olive, Choc Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red, Bashful Blue Markers, Glue Dots, SU! Buttons (Earth Elements, Soft Subtles, Earth Elements Neutral), Dimensionals, Choc Chip Wide Grosgrain, White Ribbon

Botanical Blooms!!!

I absolutely LOVE this Sale-a-bration set 'Botanical Blooms'. It is such a simple and pretty set with endless possibilities, and even I can see that those possibilities don't all include PINK. Phew I hear you say. However, the two cards I've just finished and am going to show you are indeed made with Pink and Green.

I've used the same layout for both cards, the only difference is the flower arrangement and the ribbon placement.

For this first one I've used my paper piercer to pierce around a layer of Regal Rose and Very Vanilla, which has also been popped up on dimensionals. I've also added a Certainly Celery bow on the side. Oh and the Love You sentiment is from Short and Sweet.


This card is the very same layout except I've stamped three of the rounder flower and added just a dash of ribbon on the top.

I hope you like these, and I hope that the lovely people who i am so very blessed and lucky to have be a part of my life, like them too. They don't actually know that they are on there way yet, so I hope it's a lovely suprise.

Bye for now.
