With the start of a new Mini comes in inevitable card swap amongst team members. Its a great way to have a heaps of cards to show at workshops - we all have different styles and tastes - I love hosting the swaps as this means I get lots and lots of parcels to open :o)
So this is mine ... a simple design I cased from Sue Madex (who recently qualified for the Stampin' Up! Incentive trip - we are all so proud of her).
My card used the new Cottage Garden set and the matching Cottage Wall Designer Series paper. I've used the 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" circle punches - it was a very quick and easy card to make - just as well as I had to make 16 of them :o)
Hope that you are having a great day ... we are off to Raymond Island for the Easter long weekend ... don't worry I have my crafty box all packed and ready to go ... now I wonder if hubby will notice it stacked in the boot of the car ;o)
You may have just come from the very talented Kimmy Meiklejohn, but if you are starting here, don’t worry … you can make the complete journey just by following the links at the end of each post. There are 14 stops along the way and we hope you will visit each one to see the wonderful creations we have to show you!
When I first saw the new mini I fell in love with this set ... Cottage Garden - there is even some new Designer Series Paper to match - called Cottage Wall.
I love the spiral punch from the Ideas Book and Catalogue and have used it here to create a little extra detail - and backed it with some Old Olive ribbon ...
And of course once I got started ... I couldn't stop at one so here is another using the other side of that yummy stripy Cottage Wall paper ... isn't it brilliant that the flowers match the stamp set. And just how cute is that new butterfly?
Now as usual, if you visit and comment on each blog in the hop and then email ME, you'll be in the draw for some blog candy - this monthly kindly donated by Kathryn Mangelsdorf. Now unlike me, Kathryn is one organised chickerdee and has posted a picture of the candy for us to drool over, no I mean show ... to you all ..
Right onward and upward you go ... blog hop and comment and then email me to let me know ... hope you have fun. Off you go to our lovely and very creative team leader Claire Daly who has a lovely creation to share.
ps in case you get lost here is the whole list ...
