Card Making in America

Lucky for me my friend in America is a card maker and so she has lots of stamps for me to play around with. She showed me a recipe folder that her friend, Valetta, had made using this Chef stamp so I just had to try making a card with it. I really liked how Valetta had used this stamp.

When we get back home our Andrew and his partner Samantha are coming up for a meal so I thought this would be an ideal card to make to put the menu inside.

There was this cute stamp which I thought I could use with some of the gorgeous paper as a mount for it so here is another one I made. The washi paper is so nice I couldn't resist making the card.

The final one is a sassy looking lady and as Mary has just got this saying stamp and she loves it we had to use it on a card. Somehow I don't think this lady gorges on chocolate do you?

I have missed my blog and will try to post again with some pictures from our holiday another day. I have missed doing my challenges and I notice on Lots to Do the Challenge is "a card - any card" so I am using these three to help me keep up with the challenges a little.

I would have loved to do the RSS challenge as well but Mary does not have any hessian so that one is a 'no no' for the moment.

Great to see you getting to play together, Neet. Love the chef - great idea :) Nice to use someone else's stamps for a change - it's great when we're not limited to our own!
