Easter Flowers

Would you believe me if I told you I went into my craft room this morning with the intention of making my Mum's Mothers day card, but Lying on the desk were some part kits from last weeks stampers 10 that didn't get used, I hate waste so I started on the kit pieces to make up some samples. So now its nearly quarter to four & I still haven't made a Mothers day card, Where does the day go? Who steals the hours? Cos If I find them i'll be chasing them off.


Some of the cards I made today I cant share until after the release of the new Mini catalogue on Friday.

Last Nights Stampers 6

Last night was the penultimate meeting of my current stampers 6 group, the evening followed a lovely sunny day here in Norfolk so my cards reflect the sunny mood.
The inspiration came from Carol a fellow demonstrator & a bookmark swap I received on Saturday at the regional training event. I love the different spritzed flowers that are showing up on everyones blogs at the moment.
Carol had two lovely colour ways one in the Brights palette & a second option in the Subtles palette, I chose to open up my Colour coach & use the combination that fell open

Stampers 10

Tuesday was Stampers 10 evening & as always it was lovely to meet up with the other crafty ladies, Angie unfortunately wasn't well & she was missed as she is always laughing. So get well soon Angie.

Helen was the hostess & she had challenged Michelle & asked for mens cards. I know from talking to my customers at work & some of my crafting friends that Mens cards are always a challenge, but as always Michelle rose to that challenge & we made two beautiful mens cards.

The card when open displays the greeting
