Hi all, here we are the busiest blog day of the week! I have actually been creative this week. On Saturday I went to a three hour Stampin Up workshop and I made three cards, a birds nest and a little Easter gift box. I also had a cup of tea and a piece of cake all for the sum of £13. What a bargain I say. So I was all inspired and took the layout of one of the cards and ran with it ending up with a total of 6 mini cards.
Here is what my desk looks like this week:
There's a lot going on for a change. My favourite colour of in at the moment is Rhubarb Stalk by Memento and it goes perfectly with the burgundy cardstock from Stampin Up which I received in a swap for some Promarkers. I know people love Promarkers and collect them all but I hardly ever use them so I swapped 19 of them with a lady who used to be a Su demonstrator. The set of stamps are from Hero Arts which I bought years ago and are quite sweet and slightly Easter themed. The papers are of course by October Afternoon and Jillibean Soup.
In the background you can see my slow cooker which very kindly cooked us a piece of pork on Monday and today will be cooking a chicken casserole!
For my next trick I will be making ribbon covered Easter eggs to stick in a bucket! Trust me I know what I'm doing.
I'll leave you with a couple more pictures of my cards because I think they're tweet.
Oops nearly forgot to put the link in for
Julia's blog that's because I installed the clever button at the top!

Thank you for your kind comments! It is lovely to be back, I didn't realise how much I'd missed everyone...
ReplyDeleteThose pink/yellow backgrounds on your cards remind me of rhubarb and custard sweets! Is that was the rhubarb stalk reference was?? The cards are lovely, great colours for easter but a bit of fun too - and we ALL need a bit of that!!

Cute stamps and I love that rhubarb and custard colour scheme. Of course I now have the theme tune from the cartoon in my head, where it will no doubt stay for hours!
ReplyDeleteI agree about Promarkers, have used mine once. I'm crap at colouring and I can't be arsed with all that blending. Good swap I'd say.
ReplyDeleteI dont like peomarkers either prefer my copics,but each to there own!Im loving your cards gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteYes the cards are very tweet! You are certainly getting into the SU products, they are lovely. Did you buy anything at the workshop? Hope you enjoyed the casserole.xx
ReplyDeleteI wish there were SU demo days around here, although I really don't need to purchase anything else! I think the cards are lovely - sweet and chirpy and perfect for Easter without being insipid and cutesy cutesy.
ReplyDeleteLove your cards, so cute and great for Easter! needlewings#43
