New meets the old…………
I've made 2 zig-zag cards here using those gorgeous Winter Green papers......mmmmmmm I'm in love with them......... which are reduced by 25% on the last chance list On both cards I have used Wonderous Gift and Circle of Friendship stamp sets, which can be found in both the old and new catalogoue. I've also dressed the tree's with baubles using glitters from 1 of the 2 NEW ranges of Stampin' Glitter and Tombow adhesive. I can't wait to get my hands on the other set............

The first day the weather was beautiful so we decided to visit Chester Zoo, it was fantastic and...

Monochromatic card
Over at the shack some members are setting a variety of different challanges for others to take part in if they wish to. This week was to make a Monochromatic card using your choice of colours.I decided to ink up my one of my newer stamps from Stampin' Up! Soft Summer this is a two step stamping set I used Note Quite Navy and Night of Navy inks. The card stock is Night of Navy and Bashful Blue the same as the papers. The sentiment is from my stash along with the buttons.
