fall flowers designer paper

this is a sellection of the fall flowers desiner paper that is available in this years catalogue.I think the designer papers are of superior quality to those that are often brought in the shop and its funny noiw how when I look in the stores my hand ust doesnt go into my pocket as stampin -up has totallyh spoilt me for choice. And there are so many uses for all the small left over pieces as with this card inspired be Andrea Walford shows there is never any waste.

wanted revisited

This is a set that has really grown on me and I had promised to give it to my sister in Law Diane because I brought it with one specific project in mind... and as things go now I love it and teamed with the Outlaw papers it creates and awesome combination no matter how you put it together this set is definately a must have

excitement and expectation

The Dawn of a brand new day: On my way to Napier to meet some of the other girls in my team, so it was a very early start, but something so expectent both in the new day and in the particular group of girls I was to meet. They where everything and more than I expected they are a team of the most creative women I have had time ,to spend time with and their openess and generosity was a gift to my heart. So this short note is for the A team Girls you know who you are and Thank you.

atc

This was different a very dear friend of mine makes atc cards they are only 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" in size therefore they are great for all those little bits of card you have left over the choc chip words and flourishes are enchanced with gold and the edges and eyes with metallic green

I think I could really get into this with a bit of practice

This baby slider card took a little bit of extra time but once i had it together I really think its neat the way that when you open the card the picture in the circle changes from the flower to a joyous baby
