Welcome from Karen's blog this week.

http://richesstitches.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/the-artful-stampers-blog-hop-22.html

A colour challenge this week

I have done a really simple card again this week as life is pretty hectic preparing for the upcoming school holidays and my trip to Brisbane Onstage Live..

Here is what I came up with using a new set that is in our holiday catalogue.

We have finally got a new camera.... now I need to learn how to use it as it is very very different to our last one.

Stamps: Day at the Beach and sentiment from Tin of Cards
Ink: Island Indigo, So saffron, Pool Party, Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake
Card: Whisper White, Island Indigo and Crushed Curry
Embellishments: Dimensionals

Next on the hop is Jane

ESAD 2016 Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop

Welcome from Libby's creation

I think most people will be doing Christmas Cards so I thought I would use something else from the new catalogue.

I love Paisleys

I haven't done much in the way of embossing lately so this was the perfect opportunity.

My sister in law had her birthday yesterday so we gave her this card below :-)

So pretty.
I love embossing and putting colour over to make the images pop!
