In Bloom

Morning all...

Thought I'd grab a few minutes before work to share something's with you!

I've been busy creating over the last few days. I'm getting quite a few enquiries about making wedding invitations! It's very exciting- think I may have to make a few belated birthday cards just in case!

So I wanted to show you a card I made for my Grandma's birthday last week...I have recently received a new Papertrey Ink stash and I couldn't wait to use it! I'd been erming and arghing about whether or not to buy the "In Bloom" stamp set but after seeing the beautiful creations Katie makes with it I just couldn't resist!













I also purchased the Papertrey ink in several colours- I think I'm going to have to collect them all! They are so easy to use and you don't get all the horrible excess ink everywhere, it also makes cleaning the stamp far easier! On this card I used Raspberry Fizz, Melon Berry and Autumn Rose. I finished the card with some baby pink ribbon, my new Think it Big sentiments and some random adhesive crystals (you can't go wrong with a bit of bling!) I can't wait to use this set again!!

Thank you for reading, I'll be back soon.

**A Big Thank you...**

Evening all...

How has everybody's weekend been?

I've been quite productive today - after finally feeling more human.  I thought it was about time I started making up for lost time.

I sorted out my car insurance and arranged a sky upgrade and still had time to walk the pup and create a new project that i'll be sharing with you over the next few days.

So tonight I wanted to share with you something I'm kinda thrilled with, I think its some of my best work - so lets see what you think.  Enough of the teasing, tonights post is about these beauties...

Im so chuffed!

I am lucky enough to have been given lots of beautiful presents for both Christmas and Birthday and obviously I want to thank everyone.  The way I normally go about it is to make bulk cards.  I seem to get a little bit of a production line going, I start singing songs and get them done in no time! These were the perfect design to create in bulk.  I used Aqua Mist and Melon Berry cardstock from Papertrey - I have completely fallen in love with these colours (the photograph doesn't do them justice!) I then stamped Mendhi Medallion into both corners using my favourite VersaInk Watermark ink pad.  For a change I rounded the corners of the cardstock and stamped the sentiment in black ink.  To start with I was just going to use "thank you" from Think it Big 2 but then discovered "merci" from Think it Big 3 and I couldn't resist using it! Of course then I finished it off with some black and white bakers twine.  Instead of stitching I used foam pads to add some dimension!

What do you think?

I would love to read your comments! Good or bad are always welcome.

Right so just before I go I wanted to fill you in on whats happening this week on here.  I have set myself a little challenge! I'm quite excited to show you the results! Check back here tomorrow to find out all about it.

Take Care
