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'

I had a fabulous day at Stampin' Stars training on Saturday.
One of the great things about training apart from listening to Zoe Pearson and Natalie O'Sheas recent trip to the home of Stampin' Up! is to swap.  These girls all have wonderful ideas and it is a pleasure to share with them.

First up is my swap. I have used the Hearts Collection framelits which I recently acquired as I am not a heart sort of person! I have teamed it with the new Pretty Print Embossing Folder which will be available in the new catalogue from 29 August. So if you want one of these Seasonal Catalogues drop me an email.

I am frantically preparing samples for the Catalogue Launch on Saturday, please see details on LHS.
When I need a lot of samples in a hurry what better place than the Idea Book and Catalogue for inspiration.

I changed the colours but the inspiration for this card is on p 99 of the 2013-2014 Annual Catalogue.  

I have used Crisp Cantaloupe a lovely new In-Colour, Crumb Cake an old favourite and Early Expresso. The DSP is from Soho Subway, The stamp set which is fast becoming a favourite is Chalk Talk.

The inspiration is this .....

Yes, the latest from Innocent Smoothies.

and the result...is a CASE from Carolyn Lindenmayer of Qld Australia.
