Star-Inspired

Hi,

Gee have i really been back over a week from our A-M-AZING holiday - the ship was super (and not too big), crew so helpful and friendly - the pastry chef made me the most devine dairy free desserts, the ports were great, although weather was not brilliant until we got to Bergen, but we didn't really care as we were having such a great time - so much so that we have booked another cruise for next year :-).

I have a few flower stamps and i seem to avoid them in favour of my cute animals !, so thought i would change that and use : Penny Black - 'Star-Inspired / 4156K', decorated with pearls : Hobby House - 'Liking Lilac', have made the shape using : Tonic - 'Layered Circles' the papers are : LOTV - 'Promises' (and if you have noticed my favourite), ribbon is from : The Ribbon Girls, the sentiment is : Woodware - 'Tiny Phrases' and the frame for the sentiment is : Cheery Lynn Designs - 'Horizon Fishtail Banners', that i first saw on the lovely Sarah's blog - although buying them was a feat in itself !! - i was doing a Kay Carley class at The Glitter Pot on Saturday, with my crafty friend Louise, saw the dies and thought i'm sure they are the ones i want, so texted the lovely Janice who confirmed they were the ones, thanks hun.


The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are :

Penny Black Saturday Friends - where the August Challenge is 'Floral Fantasy'

Sweet Stampin' - where they have a 'Photo Inspiration' - i've gone for the colours purple and green

Papertake Weekly  - where the Challenge is 'Spots And Dots'

Crafty Creations - where Challenge No: 269 is 'Flower Power'

Thanks for looking and for any comments you would kindly like to leave, would be most appreciated, Luv Sam x

Lovely to hear that you had a good holiday Sam. Love your card, that's a lovely stamp, although I fear I do the very same thing and favour cute stamps rather than floral!! So glad you found the banner dies, they are rather lovely aren't they!!? xx
