bummed.

Totally bummed. As you know, I got our order in a few days ago but the one thing was missing was the one set that I was looking forward to! The Cheep Talk stamp set. I know, I know - this is a set that you either like or dislike, but I am totally loving the birds in this new catalogue. And my new favourite colour scheme is Chocolate Chip, Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss and Summer Sun as listed on page 10 of the new catalogue. Not too fussy on the Pumpkin Pie or Red Rose at this point. Anyways, I called Stampin' Up! and they are shipping out my missed set. So, once I get it, I will make some cards to share!

Don't forget to let me know if you can come to the Cupcake Workshop on the 20th - I have a few spots left. And as well, please let me know if you are in for the next club which will start in April!!

I do have one card to share. I had to make a sympathy card the other day and I realized that I don't have ANY sympathy stamp sets. Hmmmm....so, I dug out the Heartfelt Thanks stamp set as I felt that the flowers in that set were appropriate. Came across this colour scheme (So Saffron and Old Olive) and I thought I would give that a try. TOTALLY out of my element as you all know that somewhere on my cards, you can usually find Chocolate Chip. Hahaha. But I am quite pleased at how this turned out.

Ingredients:
Stamp set: Heartfelt Thanks
Ink: So Saffron, Old Olive, Certainly Celery, More Mustard
Paper: So Saffron DSP from retired 6x6 paper sampler, So Saffron, Old Olive, Whisper White
Accessories: Old Olive 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Silver Brads, Ticket Corner Punch

Happy weekend, everybody!!
