Phoenix Inspirations

I think I have mentioned before - me and my pal Bev get together once a week to craft - well I say craft we drink coffee, gossip and laugh for most of the time but we do get a little crafting done! This week it was my turn to choose the stamp set and I chose Whimsical Wings. I love this set but didn't manage to get hold of it as it was a Hostess Gift in the last catalogue. We both used yellow and blue as our main colours and I added a little Crumb Cake to mine.......mmmmm cake! Short and sweet I'm afraid today - I have an exploding cupboard which has now exploded all over my craft room and I should really get it tidied away - then again the boat race is about to start ...... mmm men in shorts...... I may just take a little more time off!!! Bye for now - Jacqueline xx.

A little while ago my friend Bev lent me some of her Stampin' Up sets to play with. You have already seen the Loads of Love and now it is the turn of Whimsical Wings. It is a lovely set but only available as a Level 2 Hostess Gift. Here's what I made I managed to make 3 cards before she snaffled it back! I used S'U card stock and inks - left is Pale Plum and Mellow Moss, right is Night of Navy and Bordering Blue and the center is an easel card using Perfect Plum and a touch of Pale Plum. They all had Very Vanilla as a base. (Except the one on the left - I don't know where that came from!) Hope every one has enjoyed their weekend, see you soon - Jacqueline xx
