Embrace Life!

I’ll admit when I first saw this set it didn’t do much for me but when I saw everyone else’s gorgeous designs with it, I just had to have it. So here is my first attempt

It is very simple and basic, nothing to fancy. Do you like it? I do …..I know I know I actually like one of my cards. I will say though at first I was sort of  ‘Oh yeah it’s okay’. But it has really grown on me. 

I water coloured the flower and leaves with the ink pads. I did the flower on watercolour paper, cut it out and then 3 dimensioned it on to the leaves. Easy Peasy!

Gee I’m Slack!!!

I came home today from a great day with my new Downline Sally. We had a play with my new stamps…… that story is for another day.

When I came home I checked my emails as usual and saw that two people have given me an awards today. That rang some bells about some other awards I was given about 1-2 months ago. So I thought I would catch up on these beautiful awards given by some ultra talented ladies..
