how about this to get you thinking - isn't this little chick adorable - and with Easter not too far away either - well he can certainly double up for use I think.

and the sentiment is a stamp in another one of the sets you can earn - The  very useful 'Perfect Pairings' set -a  complimentary set of stamps you can mix and match to suit your particular project..

 or this : the Flowering Fields stamp set - and the co-ordinating Wildflower Fields Designer series paper to go with.

2016 - and a Happy New Year all!

hello everyone..

Hope you all had a truly magical Christmas - And Santa was busy filling everyone's stockings with things on the wish list..   We had a lovely time and with a long break from work - I finished on the 21st December and not back til the 4th - so yes, am sure its the same for  lots of you - Monday its looming large.. to say am not looking forward to it is probably an understatement.. he hee..!

and having had quite a longish break from inking and Stamping up!  as well - have  finally got round to starting my Thank you cards.  All are a variation on a theme of Rose Red and Whisper White, mainly  inspired by the lovely colour combination of the Love Blossoms Designer series Paper stack - just one of the many fabulous items available in the new Spring/summer 2016 catalogue ready to launch on the 5th January and you get to see a sneaky peak of just one of the designs here. Some stamping, some punching, some die-cuts, but all easy and kept me out of  mischief for an hour or so..

Hum.. if there is a card challenge to enter to do with 3's - well am there ..  totally unintentional but it just sort of happened that way.

With  Valentine's Day fast approaching there's a range of stamps, dies, papers, toning cardstock, glimmer papers, and embellishments in the Love Blossoms suite.

As everything co-ordinates this means you spend less time  deciding what goes with what,  leaving more time for crafting - a definite plus in my book!

Just love the way Santa is standing guard.!  What is more surprising though, is that he is still in one piece.. Chocolate does not not tend to last very long in our house I have to say..

Seriously though,  the papers in the pack are lovely -  hearts, flowers, reds and pinks abound..along with toning scattering of Crumb Cake and Garden Green - but essentially yes,  it just has to be Pink in my eyes!!!

Would you like to find out what else is coming..  - just let me know and will post out a copy of the new catalogue to you.

Well will stop here as sadly am thinking of having to take down my tree, lights and decorations to put them all away til next year - but it has been a nice long break.. and Santa is calling me...

til next time when I plan to have a tour through the new catalogue at the ready for you..

which of course means there are  only a few more days left to order anything in the Year End sale and the out going Autumn Winter catalogue ..!

Happy New year again all - and may all your days be filled with something nice! and thanks to everyone who stopped by,  left a comment,  or just found time to come and visit.. it was very  much appreciated.

Til next time

Jan x
