Hello Houses

Hello. It’s been a bit quiet on the old bloggo of late, as life has been just way too busy. I am sure many of you will be able to sympathise with me.

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we have a colour challenge for you…I find colour challenges the hardest. I didn’t quite have the right green, so I made do with what I had.

Remember When…Friday Feature

Happy Friday Peeps!

ff014

For this week’s Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps, the Belles are using the newly released stamp set Remember When. Andrea has discounted this set by 20% over the weekend.

This week I have made a set a mini note cards – 6 in total. They measure approximately 10.5cm by 7.5cm. My idea for this card came from the VERY talented Angeline Yong and her card here. She is a master at layered stamping, so I decided to give it a go in two different colour schemes.

Celebrate set

Celebrate - pink

Celebrate - purple

And I even made a matching carry bag for the set which my 3.5 year old just adores! Little girls and their handbags!
