Best Fishes!

I have been a bit rubbish at this blogging lark of late! I promise to try to do better :-) I spent the weekend on a crafting retreat with Julie from the Paper Haven, in our goody bag was this bundle of joy!!

There are 37 different stamps and 17 matching dies! The combinations are endless, we made 6 different projects with it at the retreat, and this isn't one of them! As ever the high quality stamps were a dream to use and layer perfectly to build up the picture. I went a bit shabby chic with this but I love the way it looks and it literally took minutes to make.

The card is for a good friend who has had some sad news, I hope this lifts her spirit a little. See below for the supplies.

Christmas Catty Sneak Peek

Hi Folks, welcome to our September blog hop! Short and sweet this month as the kids are preparing to return to school. This month we are having a sneak peek at the Christmas Catalogue! Thank you to my upline Gill Arnold for letting me play with the things she had ordered as I still can't decide what I want!! Although now the Cookie Cutter Bundle is the very top of my list, so versatile and as ever with Stampin' Up! it all goes together beautifully!

I used a fancy fold this month, this card has 2 fronts.

The cute reindeer (from the Cookie Cutter bundle) hides a stamped panel from the Warmth and Cheer suite which also includes the beautiful embossing folder used on the front red panel.

I hope you like!
