The sketch today over on Splitcoast is a really great layout. You can see it here. I changed the squares to circles and used my new SU In-Colours again. Just a quick and easy card really, nothing too difficult!

CC222 ~ White!

Our Colour Challenge over on Splitcoast today was WHITE! Love it! We were asked to make a one-layer card with white! I recently ordered another Nestability from Spellbinders. This one is called 'Blossom' and I just embossed it into my cardstock. The cardstock is Shimmer White from SU, I LOVE IT! My friend Debra gave me 3 sheets of it to try and it's going on my next order, it's really beautiful. You might need to click on the picture to see it's shimmeriness (is that even a word?). This one's for Auntie Nancy who sent me the most beautiful navy & white polka dot chiffon scarf for my birthday. It's so pretty, Sarah wore it yesterday!

... and one more! I promise this is it for today, are you sick of me yet? I didn't post all week and now you've got 4 cards! Well, this last one is a little outside my comfort zone, very bright and funky ... but I think I could be a convert! Well, I need to go and do some work, I can't indulge myself ALL day! Well I could, but the lawn does need mowing!

Sneak Peak for SU 2009/2010 Catalogue

Well, what a week! I received my sneak peak pre-order from Stampin' Up's 2009/2010 Idea Book & Catalogue. The previewed stamps sets were just lovely ... and I bought almost all of them (I know, naughty!) but the other thing previewed were the new 'In-Colours' ... I like them but I don't LOVE them ... but like all things Stampin' Up, I'm sure after a couple of weeks I'll fall in love!

Last night I stayed up late to make some cards. Not my best work (well it WAS late you know!) but today I shall try again!

This one is for my dad. Mum & Dad live in rural Suffolk in England and frequently get pheasants trotting through their garden! I thought he'd like this. Oh, and Dad? The yellow card is called 'Crushed Curry' ... made me think of you {{for those of you who don't know my daddy, he's the #1 curry chef in England ... really, he is! Sarah and I wait all year for one of his Indian banquets ... ooooooh yummo!}}

New Sugar Nellie stamp!

I'm supposed to be cleaning my house today ready for 10 English friends coming for lunch tomorrow ... but this cute stamp from Sugar Nellie came in the post, so I had a little interruption and did some more Gamsol blending. I still need practice, but I'm getting there :) My friend Gayle found this little stamp on the Sugar Nellie site and immediately told me to go and look at it ... she thought the teapot and teacup were perfect for me ~ thanks Gayle, you were so right!
