Phoenix Inspirations

Catching up with two challenges today - the first is  Sketch Saturday  and we are to choose a paste sketch from their achieves. I chose #227 And I am also entering in the Tic, Tac Toe challenge on  The Paper Players Here is my card - using the first line: Flowers, Die Cuts and Yellow I used a set of Nestabilites to  die cut my squares in some yellow decorative paper and I also used my Window Framelits to die cut my central label. Kind and Cosy is my stamp set of choice along with  Petite Petals. Hope you like it - see you soon xx

So things are really busy these days not least the fact that my daughter has recently moved to a new appartment with her boyfriend Leigh. Me and Mum have found her loads of bits and pieces to furnish the place and last week we paid them a visit to have a good nosey around! Before we went though I made her her a New Home card to take along - take a look This is a mish mash of Kind and Cozy and Holiday Home but I think it works very well! We had a lovely day and my daughter looked after us really well - she was the perfect hostess in her new home! See you soon xx
