 STAMPIN'UP - CRUMB CAKE  #121699 and STARFRUIT #126836

I have heard, a lot of ladies find the card stock Starfruit #3126836 a hard color to work with, but for me, this was love at first sight. 

I love this SEAM BINDING RIBBON! - CRUMB CAKE #122332.

This seam binding ribbon is available in 8 different colors! 

Another reason to love STAMPIN' UP! They have every thing color coordinated.

Stampin'Up makes our lives so simple, we have more time to create!

The chevron lines have been cut with a craft knife, then rolled back.  

The stamp used  for the ink splatters -FRENCH FOLIAGE- #121166c / #120845w

Over inking can be wonderful! Some thing different!

Sprayed with SHIMMER PAINT #116806 (self made shimmer mist) This gives the shimmer gold finish....love it!

Sorry ladies the mini clip is from STAMPIN' UP, but it is retired..they will just have to release it again...don't you think? 

See how the STARFRUIT #1268336 card stock distresses! Just so thick and fluffy.

 Love the new release-Stampin' DISTRESS TOOL #127562. (page 14 of the mini catalog )

I find this tool, is good in the hand, thus easy to use and because you have 8 blades, it is great value for money.

 A bonus! It comes in a little clear plastic zip bag, so it makes life easy when you are on the move going to a crops or fun afternoons with the girlfriends!

Another reason to love STAMPIN" UP!

Last but not least! Don't you just love this little face? This is Edward, my sisters little one. 

Time does not stand still. Edward started his first year at school the beginning of the year. He is loving it!

I hope you have enjoyed your visit, have a inky day,
