I'm a Great-Aunt

Well my niece has had a lovely little baby girl called Ava. I'm looking forward to visiting tomorrow to have a cuddle. I managed to get this card done today at a monthly get together with stamping friends and borrowed a camera (and photographer-thanks Lee) to share it with you. I have cased it from a card created by a Canadian Stampin' Up! demonstrator Andrea Walford's (awesome blog, check it out)

I have used the Baroque motifs stamp set, Orchid Opulence and Old Olive ink & card along with oval & circle punches. The flowers are prima and of course I had to add a little bling. I was quite happy with my version. I hope it makes the new mum smile.

Spring Mini Up and Running

Stampin' Up! has released it's new Spring Mini Catalogue. You can click on the picture on the right to get a look or contact me and I will send one out to you. There are some lovely, fresh stamp sets and papers as well as some Christmas sets so we can make an early start on our cards and avoid the last minute panic to get them finished (wishful thinking on my part).

There were a couple of sets that took my eye straight away. Great Friend and Just Beachy were my first purchases along with Oval all and the Scallop Punch as well as the Walk in the Park papers (love these!).

I'm trying to post a couple of cards that I have made with these sets but my #!@! camera refuses to work. So I will wait till DH gets home and hopefully I can get it done tomorrow.

Thanks for visiting, Vicki.
