Watercolour Wonder DSP

Happy New Year 2014

New Year...New Resolutions
I have already started, my craft room has had a major overhaul. Well basically a big tidy up.  It was quite a challenging task, as the last couple of months had taken a toll on my poor craft room.  What with getting ready for Handmade for Christmas, a couple of workshops, classes, there was stuff everywhere. I now have a new book case, and all the stamp cases, punches and papers are where they belong.

New Year... We have a new Spring/Summer catalogue going live 28 January and ....(drumroll)...
Sale a Bration also starting 28 January.

Here is a sneak peak of some of the papers in the new seasonal catalogue. There is also another sneak peak product, can you guess? I love these papers, they are called Watercolour Wonder.

Four You

Thank You Cards, are a bit of a trial in our house.
Sometimes a verbal thank you just isn't enough to express the gratitude to a thoughtful and generous friend or relative.
Here are 4 very grungy and 'in' thank you cards. Some use washi tape.
Tell me what you think, as I appreciate getting comments.
I have used Stampin' Up!'s notecards, I find they are the perfect size for when you want a little note!
Stamp sets used are 'Embellished Events', a very handy set to have around; 'Gorgeous Grunge', 'Chalk Talk' and 'Hello Lovely'
