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.

Welcome from Nicole's blog.
This week we had a special colour challenge. It was to use three of the new 2015-17 In Colours.
