{Roses and polkas}

One of my favourite combinations on anything, whether it be clothing, home ware or soft furnishings is roses and dots.  It is such a classic and well tried combination of pattern.

For this card I used the beautiful 3 step rose from Picture Perfect, the detailed leaf from kinda Eclectic and the small dots from Timeless Textures.  Then to finish it off with those two little butterflies I used Grateful Bunch.  At this time of year I am fortunate enough to see butterflies in pairs as they seem to dance around each other in mid air.

{Something Old...Something New}

Soooo... what do you think of the new catalogue?

Any must haves on your wish list yet?

This week the children have been off school as it's their half term holiday.  It's been lovely not having to get up for the school run, and enjoy some chilled out days at home.

I've been sneaking off to my craft room to play with some of the new products , here are some cards mixing new colours and stamps with others that have been around already.  I have been experimenting with a whimsical style of stamping and leaving white space to let the designs "breathe".

I'm pleased to announce I'll be running a 

Paper Crafts Workshop 

with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Joyce Jones on 

Saturday 25th June

{Grateful bunch sneak peak}

We're gearing up for Christmas now with the children off school, presents wrapped... well not all of them, I end up sending a few that arrive as New Year gifts.  As a family we'll be co-ordinating a community meal at our church for anyone that would like to join us, so this morning I've been finding pots and tea towels ready for tomorrow.  I have three, yes three turkeys in my fridge and lots of other yummy goodies.

I've been enjoying having a little play with some of the new products from the 2016 Spring/Summer catalogue.   If you haven't got one and would like one, please contact me!

It was a friend's birthday so I made a quick card with a new stamp set and co-ordinating flower punch.

Here is a video...
