Orchid in a Corner

That's the only way I can describe this card - you'll understand when you see the sketch from


Here is my card


This is the first time I have used the leaves in this set and I used a post it note to mask off the leaves so that they could overlap. Colours used are Rose Red and Old Olive with a little Crushed Curry. Don't you just love that sentiment - it could be used for so many occasions.

I am enjoying a week off work at the moment - hopefully I'll get my S' U starter kit very soon so I can start playing! The weather is lovely though at the moment so I may just pop outside for a spot of gardening. Whatever you are doing this week - have a good one. See you soon xx

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
