Hi Ladies. I have been very busy the last few days making some cards and a scrap book page for the release of the brand new Kim Hughes stamp sets. They will be released this Tuesday January 22, 2008. The set that I used to make my Purple Ladybug card is called Foursquare and will be sold at Cornish Heritage Farms . I can hardly wait for you to see this set.
Stamps:Foursquare by Kim Hughes from Cornish Heritage Farms. Not yet released.
Card-Stock: White Prismatic and Classic Purple. Both from Prism Papers. Designer Paper from Daisy Bucket.
Inks: Color Box Wisteria Fluid Chalk. I used a Prism coloring pencil to color in the tiny leaves.
Embellishments: Sparkle Gems from Hero Arts and purchased at Stamping Memories and a purple organdy ribbon.
Note: The sentiment inside this card is Happy Birthday Wishes from Cornish Heritage Farms. I made this card a kickstand card sideways. :) I used a paper piercing tool to pierce the scalloped circle.
I also used this set of stamps to make a scrap-book page that I will share with you tomorrow night.
I certainly hope that all of you are not having the very frigid temps that we are having in NH. As I type this post it is 9:45 PM and it is only 14 degrees. I'm certain that we will be down to single digits by morning. Brr. I sure wish the 34 degree weather would come back. :) It was so much warmer. I just keep reminding myself that there is only one more week left to January and then it will be February, That month seems to always fly right by and before you know it spring is on the way. It will be very welcomed by most of us this year.
I hope that all of you had an awesome weekend. Even though I do not work outside of my home I always look forward to the weekends. I know that when I did work I *loved* the weekends. They always went by too fast though. Have a safe, warm and happy week. Smile. :)
Just so you know you aren't alone with the frigid weather, brrrrr and suppose to be colder tomorrow. Can we all say " COME ON SPRING " :o) Stay warm and keep on stamping. Hugs n' Stuff, Lynne
