ISN'T IT GREAT TO RECEIVE A RAK? - BOTANICALS FOR YOU

Recently I was gifted with, or more commonly known in the crafting world as a RAK (random act of kindness), a Stampin' Up stamp set (Botanicals For You) from a friend.  I was able to play with it this week-end and absolutely love it.  The stamp set is big and bold and this is what I love about it.  Also it has very dainty flowers that can be clustered or used by themselves.

I used my regular ink pads to stamp with but in the future I am considering using embossing powder; I think this will make the cards even bolder.

I've really been enjoying making cards here lately and the creative juices have been flowing so "MOJO" please don't fly out the window just yet.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

Happy Weekend - What have I been up to?


Happy weekend everyone.  Thanks for stopping by.  On Friday evening I managed to have some me time; the evening was spent crafting with a wonderful group of ladies at a local craft store Surprise Scrapbook Boutique.  To start off the night there was a green challenge and we had to use a recycled item on our cards.  I made a doily out of a poster for my card.



I also managed to make a few cards using the Tim Holtz stamps "Runway", distressed inks and some stencils.  The crop was a relaxing way to wind down after a busy week.

Note to self......try and make a few more cards next time.🌝
