Love... From Stampin' Up!

Hiya - I have so much to tell you but I'm sure you'll get bored so in summary...

• I've been swimming for the 1st time in 16 years
• I'm going to start running... for the 1st time in 16 years
• I had 3 classes last week - so sorry for not posting
• I spent the whole of yesterday evening crafting... until 1am this morning.

So you can see I've been kinda busy! I am ordering tomorrow as I don't want to miss out on the Saleabration items that were limited!

Last night was great - one of my downline and I were chatting, laughing and crafting until the early hours and I'm having a craft afternoon in my studio tomorrow from 3:30-6:30 if you want to come over... just call me!

I'll just share the last of my Valentine creations before I work on some other uses for my Bloomin' Heart thinlits and Bloomin' Love stamps... I've seen loads of things I'd like to case! 

 The first card was made using Versamark and the Rock & Roll technique - embossed with the Irridescent Ice embossing powder.

This one uses the Rock & Roll technique too as well as the fabulous corner punch!

 

This is my last Valentine idea for this year... in case you are still stuck! I used the Confetti Heart punch and a Circle punch for the spotlight effect on the heart.

Have a great day tomorrow with the ones you love! xxx

CAS Colours and Sketches Challenge

Lovely that you have joined me again today, and thank you to all the extra people who are joining in these challenges.

We would love you to join us if you haven't yet, just click on this link here to go to the blog.

I struggle sometimes using 3 colours on a card, but here is my card for this week.

Quite a masculine card with that bit of Real Red to brighten it up.

I used the Lovely as a Tree set and the Rock and Roll technique to colour the edges.

I embossed the River Rock card with the Woodgrain Embossing folder and sponged it lightly with Soft Suede.

I hope you enjoy this weeks challenge and I look forward to seeing what you share with us!
