Old Fashioned Christmas

I have been having a play today with Stampin' Up! Old Fashioned Christmas stamp set. I am pleased with how they look and I am even more pleased that I now have my FIRST 5 Christmas cards made for this year........I really do need to get myself more organised lol

New Catalogues...

Did I mention that the new Stampin'Up! catalogues are here ? I think I may have mentioned it lol.

My copy of the catalogue is already looking a wee bit dog eared as I have been through it soooo many times since it arrived. There are just so many things that you have to go back and look at again and my wish list grows bigger every day.

Well I thought I would share a sneaky peek of the goody bag I have put together for anyone who purchases the new catalogue from me. For £4.95 plus postage you get the scrummy new catalogue, the bag and gifts you see in the picture ( plus I do believe there are 2 or three other items still inside the bag which are a secret) All in all great value for money and your pack is just waiting for you.

Can you tell I am still loving the colour combination of Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla ?

Ooh I almost forgot to mention I got the goody bag template from the wonderful one I received on my birthday from Jenny over at Stamping Moments. I will post a picture of that one very soon....it was lovely.

Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip

Well ......

I have always had a soft spot for brown and pink together but my new favourite combination has got to be Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla....could this be something to do with the new catalogue inspiring me ?

This is a mini card I put together just to see how the colours worked together......and the answer is YES.

Well THEY DO for me !

Birthday Cards for Father in Law

I thought I would share with you the two cards I made for my Father in Law's birthday which was yesterday.

Heart to Heart Blog Candy

I have been blog browsing and wanted to tell you about the amazing thing that is going on over at this Cammies blog.

This lady lost her Grandmother to Alzheimers and as a way of marking National Alzheimer's Day she started a small blog candy giveaway. This small thing she started has now grown huge with donations from individual card makers and huge companies alike.

I have only just heard about this great thing she is achieving but it has truly moved me. I have my card made and as I personally do not know of anyone with this illness, my card will be in the mail today to the care home where Cammi's Grandmother was cared for.

There is not long left for you to do your bit but please take time out from your busy day to go and take a look. I am so glad I did that small thing today.

Here is my card.
