Happy Birthday Linda

Happy Birthday to my lovely friend Linda who is celebrating her 50 th today.  It seems that 1966 was a vintage year as I have several friends celebrating this year including me! It was also the year that England last won the World Cup in football and on my 21st my home town Coventry won the FA Cup.  As I said a vintage year.

For Linda's card I've used Stampin' Up! Number of Years stamps and dies and I've added some doodle dashes with the white gel pen and some petite flowers and pearls.  The paper beneath is in the spring catalogue and is called Love Blossoms. It's probably not easy to see in the picture, but I also used my Wink of Stella clear pen to add some sparkle to the numbers just painting it over the patterned paper. I do love a bit of Wink!!!

Have a fabarooney day Linda.  Let the celebrations continue!

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Number of Years

 HAPPY NEW YEAR  

Stampin' Up! has launched it's new Spring Summer catalogue along with this year's Saleabration brochure jammed packed with some fabulous free gifts.

I took Christmas and New Year off to spend some precious time with family. My brother and his family joined us for Christmas and their small children brought the excitement of the season with them and we all had a fabulous time.  Since their departure our fridge has died and it has taken some time to try to find firstly a repair man to confirm the fridge's death and then to source a new fridge. At last one is in sight!  This card was my only chance of crafting over the holidays and so read on to find out more about it and the new catalogues that launched this week.

Included in the Spring catalogue is this super stamp set Number of Years which has a coordinating set of frame lit dies called simply Large Numbers.  I used them to make this girly card for my school friend who turned the big 50 on New Year's Eve.  She celebrated in style taking her children to New York to see the sights and see in the new year.  Having been friends for almost 40 years I couldn't miss the opportunity to send her a special message.

You can use blushing bride, whisper white and smoky slate to create a pretty card with this lovely bundle of products.  A hint of silver foil card stock and a touch of the new blushing bride glimmer paper satisfies the need for bling, but my the glimmer paper is truly strokeable!  All stamps used are from Number of Years with the exception of the sentiment which is from Stampin' Up! set Something to Say.

Check out the new catalogue via my sidebar and also the Saleabration offering and see how you can benefit from shopping, hosting or maybe joining.  I love my job and although dithered for ages before I joined I haven't looked back having developed a fantastic team with folk from the UK and The Netherlands, but also friends around the Globe.  Take a small step, buy a starter kit and gain much more.

More soon.
