I'm back!

Have you missed me? Hopefully you've been so busy enjoying school holidays and getting the New year off to a fantastic start that you haven't even noticed my blogging hiatus.

We've been having a lovely January. It's been a nice combination of accomplishment, activity and relaxation. We re-painted our bedroom, bought some new bedding, which then inspired me to make a set of 3 framed artworks to hang above the bed, plus I've sorted through lots of cupboards and drawers and had a big clean-out. We've taken the kids to see the Harry Potter Exhibition, the Illusionists, a couple of movies, and lots of catching up with friends. We've also had plenty of time just chilling out at home.

I've managed to squeeze some crafting in amongst all that, playing with my new stamps. I'll take some photos in the next day or two so that I have something new to show you. In the meantime, here's a very *bright* design from last year's stamp-a-stack using the Blossom Party die and a few punches:


The colours are Rich Razzleberry, Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, Very Vanilla and Wild Wasabi. I used the Big Shot to cut out one set of flowers in the 3 main colours and came up with 4 card designs, just adding a couple of punches.

I'm getting excited - Sale-a-Bration starts TOMORROW! I'll be back then to show you this year's selection of free products. I know you're going to love them.
