What Are You Looking At?

Morning All,

Butterflies for Mothers Day

OK so I'm cheating a little with a card for today... this is one I made for the current issue of Papercraft Inspirations whilst testing one of the projects using the fab Sizzix dies that you stamp and then cut out. I think it fits well with this weeks Less Is More challenge of punches or dies. Hopefully I'll get change later in the week to put together one of the ideas I have...

Inspiration:
Less Is More: #55 Punches or Dies
Die-Ing for a Challenge: #1 Anything Goes

Card Recipe:
Sizzix/Hero Arts Stamp and Die Set
DPs: Pink Petticoat printed onto pearl card
Scallop Die: Die-namics Simply Scallops
Pearls: Hobby House

Right off to do some more decorating....

The Invites... And My blogoversary

I've just realised that today is my first blogoversary ( for some reason I thought I was next week lol) so I'll be doing some more candy this weekend.... 

Anyhow... I've spent a few long evenings making my SIL invites which were a little time consuming to say the least... It all started when I went to the Doncaster show last June and took Kirsty and MIL with me .... Whilst I went off visiting my usual suppliers etc. they wandered around and Kirsty stumbled upon the LOTV stand.. and a card made with this stamp.... Now I would never normally use an image on invites and probably never will again... anyhow 85 coloured images later... this is the final card.... I kept it quite simple....

I'll be back at weekend with my first card as a Saturday Girl... make sure you join us..
