I really love this new stamp set from the new catalogue. I am seeing lots more cards using this in the near future. I must admit that it took me a while to come up with this one but I am really happy with the end result. This would make a great baby card or little ones birthday card.

Holiday Card Making

I have had the privilege of being on school holidays which is really great and has given me lots of paper crafting time. I have done a few pages of my Scripture Challenge book and have really enjoyed getting back into it. These are 4 x 4 cards and fit perfectly in the Stampin' Up! "So You" Project Kit album. I am really hoping that they bring another one of these back as I really love how these fit in there.

 

  

As you can see the album is looking very full and another one is required.

I also made some cards using bits of retired Stampin' Up supplies 

I really loved this Perfect Blend coffee card and plan to make a few more of these in the near future.
Until next time :o)

Then I thought "What would it look like with curtains?" so I added these.
