Hi all.  Well can you believe it’s almost April!  How did that happen?  The Summer Mini Catalogue AND Sale-A-Bration finish TOMORROW so if you’ve been thinking about ordering any of those goodies from the Summer Mini now is your chance and you’ll get a freebie too if you order over $100! 

I wanted to show you these two cards I made for the Just Add Ink colour challenge this week. I just loved the colours when I saw them and imagined such soft and romantic creations. 

Imagined is the key word…. nothing I tried seemed to work so this is what I was left with after a few attempts.  LOL!

Stamp set:  Trendy Trees
Cardstock:  Close to Cocoa, Cameo Coral, Blush Blossom
Ink:  Close to Cocoa, Cameo Coral
Accessories:  Bella Blue DSP, 1 3/8″ circle punch, 1 3/4″ circle punch, Pretties Kit, Dazzline Diamonds, Whisper White ribbon (dyed with Cameo Coral marker)

Mmmm… what do you think?  I really have an aversion to Cameo Coral I guess so perhaps that’s why I’m not really fussed on it.

I want to say thanks to Sarah Klass for reminding me about colouring my Whisper White ribbon with my markers!

So I had another go…

Stamp set:  I {Heart} Hearts
Cardstock:  Close to Cocoa, Cameo Coral, Blush Blossom, Whisper White
Inks:  Close to Cocoa, Cameo Coral
Accessories:  Perfect Polka Dot textured impressions Big Shot die, Heart to Heart punch, Scallop Edge punch, Kraft Taffeta ribbon
Techniques:  Rock’n'roll

I think I like this better!  This is where we get back to the title of this post.  The I {Heart} Heart stamp set will no longer be available after tomorrow and I have to say it has been a favourite even though I’ve never really dabbled in heart cards much prior to having this set. I will definitely miss it!  So that’s the old bit.  Now for the new bit…. the Big Shot!  Don’t you just love how the simple Polka Dot embossing totally makes this card?  It turns a plain card into a stylish little number don’t you think?

Make sure you pop back here on 1 April to check out some more Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue goodies. and view it online!

Ok, that’s enough blabbing from me.  I’m off for a little lie down after a night of musical beds.  Who woulda thunk that with  10 and 7 year old boys I’d still be playing that game!  Oh well, even if I don’t get a good sleep, I’m a sucker for cuddles!

Cheers
