Fresh prints 2 ....

I love this Fresh prints paper stack, it is such good value for money. Again when you check out both sides of the paper, there are so many patterns and colour ways to use, you can make endless projects and cards. There are 48 sheets in the pad four of each design but with the fronts and backs that makes 24 patterns ....

 We recently had a full day team training event where my upline Julie Kettlewell used the papers for a "Tin of Thanks" it was a lovely project where we decorated a tin and then filled it with thank you cards made with the stampin' up Designer Note Cards and Envelopes, the size fits perfectly :) The colours are Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake and Whisper White and the main stamp set used is the new Petite Petals and matching    punch from the Spring/Summer Seasonal brochure.

Fresh Prints ....

I managed to get to my desk yesterday and wanted to do a little nod to Valentine. I have seen some gorgeous cards since I came back from my holiday but as we don't "do" Valentine I haven't made any! I really should have but the house has taken priority, I had carpets laid in the spare bedrooms on Wednesday so all I wanted to do was put furniture in the bedrooms and "dress" them :) Being a typical woman I put all the furniture in the appropriate rooms on Thursday and then decided I wanted it the opposite way around, and moved it all on Friday! So yesterday I deserved a bit of craft time, and here is my layout ....

The background which I spritzed and then stamped with the Language of Love set.

Sunny Break ....

Sorry I missed my usual weekend post last weekend, but I have just had a little break in the sun. I am back and feeling refreshed although the building work continues !!! I know we are on the home run now, and I will have some bedroom carpets laid tomorrow, yay I can't wait, carpets, what luxury. Finally I will be able to put some furniture upstairs, assemble the spare beds and maybe hang some curtains woop woop. I had a Stampin' Up delivery while I was away and I am itching to play, so hopefully I will have something craft related for you to look at next time you visit the blog ....

Retro Fresh ....

Here's another scrapbook layout, this time with the new Retro Fresh papers, I haven't had much time to craft this week as it has been full on at work and the building works at home drags on and on :( I don't know how I have managed to live here with all this going on and I told Craig last weekend that I would have moved out if I didn't have a little holiday coming up, that has kept me positive and of course my crafting. So here's the retro fresh, and the name made me want to scrapbook some older photo's, so these are from the 80's. I may do another layout with some from the 70's as I always think the colours from that era are a bit of a challenge :)
