The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #39

Welcome from Anna's blog. 
Colour combo this week.
I don't know why some weeks are so difficult, even though this is a great colour combo I just found it really hard to get this one together. It may have had something to do with being in the middle of catering and throwing my eldest sons 21st birthday party but I did manage to get something done in the end.

I am still using some of our old products, as I haven't had the privilege of purchasing much from our new catalogue yet besides a couple of the hostess stamp sets and the Banner Triple Punch.  I am afraid I have to wait another month before I have the opportunity to do that, my wish list is extremely long. Until then I will be using what I have and will try my best to use current items.

Next on our hop is Alisa . Let's go check out what she has come up with this week.
