A new week ....

How was your weekend?

Mine was a good one - well, apart from the pouring rain yesterday, which left alot to be desired! Saturday was lots of fun. Sheila and I had a Stampin' Up workshop to do for a group of ladies, and what fun it was too! It was absolutely boiling in the morning, and I was completely frazzled in the conservatory. We worked in two rooms, each doing a seperate couple of projects.

On Friday, I'd made this little cardholder below to take with me. Details of how to make it can be found on the Score Pal web site.

It's a little note box that I made with the stunning new colours from Stampin' Up.. Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo. I am LOVING this new colour combination - they work so well together! I also used my favourite set from the Mini catalogue, Vintage Vogue. The 3D flowers were made from the set too - it makes a change from the flat flowers.

For each flower you need to stamp three or four layers, so I just used offcuts and bits from my Whisper White and did a bit of smooching on the stamps with two colour inks.

I made three cards to fit inside the box, and here they are.. The one above shows the smooching on the stamps.

Here's the smooching in more detail. Sorry about the fuzziness of the picture. Grey clouds and not a lot of light does this!

so there we are.. my project for today. If you'd like to order the kit to make this box and cards, then get in touch - joaustin22@aol.com and I'll give you the complete price. (only because I haven't worked it out yet!! lol)

Today, I'm having a business meeting down in Mansfield, so I'll be back tomorrow with another card for you all.

Until then.. happy crafting!
