Get well soon Shelli!

Morning!

Some of you may have heard that Shelli from Stampin' Up! had a nasty riding accident last week, (you can read the full story and leave get well messages here), and she has got a long road to recovery ahead of her. I also know she is going to have the most Stampin' Up! get well cards sent to one person ever! Maybe it should be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records?!

Anyway, I too have made a card to send to wish her well and here it is...

This is made using all colours from the Subtles colour collection. Papers, ribbons and inks. 

I have gone for my first effort at a 'shabby chic' style card...not sure if it passes...what do you think? I sanded the edges of all the paper elements and used Core'dinations cardstock for the butterflies.

I added an Antique Brad as a finishing touch. Overall I think it's certainly a pretty card, if not quite Shabby Chic!

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White, Core'dinations

Designer Series Paper - Subtles (Soft Sky)

Stamp - Teeny Tiny Wishes, Oh, Hello

Ink - Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder

Ribbon - Chevron, Stitched Grosgrain (Blushing Bride)

Dies - Ovals Collection Framelits, Beautiful Wings Embosslits

Other - Antique Brads

Well, Keiran is back at school today, in Year 1! He's very excited...I'm sure he'll have a great day!

Hope your little ones settle in well too :)

And......relax!

Good morning!

Here is a card I made yesterday using some stamps I don't use very often, but I really should as they are lovely!

I have used Summer Afternoon Hostess set and stamped it in Soft Suede. I coloured theimage with River Rock, Wild Wasabi and Crumb Cake for a soft look. The papers are from the Subtles Designer Series Paper and I stitched the top of the card for a change...getting adventurous now that I know I can do it lol! I finished some paper piercing around the image and an antique brad. I left it without a sentiment as I couldn't decide on one lol!

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Designer Series Paper - Subtles

Sale-A-Bration sneak peek #4 & Less Is More

Good morning you lovely LIMettes! 

All ready for Christmas? 

I thought I was, but still got some bits to finish, including the annual 'Keiran calendar'...oh well looks like I'm going to be busy Christmas Eve!

So this morning over at Less Is More, Chrissie and Jen have set us the challenge of 

DRINKS

Now other than having had a few of them with the PTA last night, I don't really have much in the way of crafty stuff to use for that theme. Then I wondered if a colour would do?

So this is my drink related card...

I have used another stamp from the Feeling Sentimental stamp set from Sale-A-Bration, and stamped it in Early Espresso! Hope I can get away with that ladies! 

I also matted it onto Early Espresso card and used Early Espresso baker's twine.

Close up...

I've used a lot of Early Espresso here...well it's early and I need an Espresso before work to wake me up after last night!

Bye for now!

Supplies used:

Card - Very Vanilla, Early Espresso

Stamp - Feeling Sentimental

Baker's Twine - Early Espresso
