We have been enjoying the Easter Holidays, and my daughter went on a play date the other day to a school friend's house, she insisted on taking a little bag of craft items to do make with her friend... what a proud mummy am I! 

-{Prettily Penned}-

I have to confess that in my crafting life I have various little obsessions for making particular things.

I have enjoyed making paper flowers for a long time now, and am always looking for ways to use them, mainly on cards, wreaths. bunting, and now...pens!

Below are pictures of a `paper pen' bouquet made for my son's teacher.  I used the beautifully elegant Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper.  Then tied around the pen, just under the flower some Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon and Linen Thread.  The flowers were then finished with some diamante `dew drops'.

-{Summer Mini Blog Hop ILWS}-

Hi there, welcome to my blog, you may have got here via Amanda's Gorgeous Blog.

I've taken part in a Blog Hop, organised on the fab forum In Love With Stamping.  If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop click {here} to go to Alison's blog.

All the blog's on this hop should be featuring the lovely new goodies in the Summer Mini catalogue.  (Please contact me if you would like a copy).

As a demonstrator we can get our hands on the new products a full month before anyone else, here is what I have made with the beautiful Attic Boutique Designer Series Papers.  Do you also see the pleated Ribbon? That's a new addition too!

I made a card holder inspired by the one Heather made {here}.  I changed the dimensions so it would hold C6 size envelopes.

Here it is opened up.

Here are the four cards that fit inside.

Do you spy something new below? It's Baker's Twine, I am so pleased Stampin Up have decided to stock this, it is so trendy at the moment and so pretty on cards.  It comes in all the 2011-2013 In Colours, and a White.  It's also at a bargain price of £2.50 for 22.9 metres.

Thank you for visiting today, click {here} to hop to Jan's blog.
