The Best Laid Plans

By
I have had a bit of a trying week - again! My poor dad was rushed into hospital last week having suffered a stroke so of course I dropped everything to go and be with mum - luckily it wasn't a bad stroke and dad is now back at home. Apparently it's related to his lymphoma cancer so we will have to wait now to see what treatment he will need.
The thing is though that there are soooooooo many exciting things happening at Stampin' Up that I am bursting to tell you about!!!! Don't be surprised if I post many times over the next few days!
Firstly though I need to update you about this week's challenge over on CAS - Colours and Sketches - we have some very lovely colours for you to use - take a look


These are beautiful colours and this is how I used them


My gorgeous sparkly butterflies are made using my Silver Glimmer paper and have been coloured with a Rich Razzlebery marker - here's what else I used

Materials - Stampin' Up
Stamps: Stippled Blossoms
Ink: Garden Green, Rich Razleberry, Perfect Plum
Card Stock: Whisper White, Garden Green
Accessories: Big Shot, SAB Embossing Folder (retired), Bitty Butterfly Punch, Dimensionals.
(Please do drop me an e-mail if you would like to order any of the above items or indeed any Stampin' Up product from the two current catalogues found in my side bar - all my details are above in the top tabs - thanks).

Don't forget to pop over to take a look at the other DT ladies cards - we are very sad now as we are down to just 4 DT so if you love CAS cards and want to be on the team drop me an e-mail and we will get you signed up!!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
