Clever Corners...


My first card using the wonderful corner stamps by Clarity Stamps. They are just so much fun to use. I spent hours making all kinds of patterns before finally putting this very simple card together.
I would have loved to add ribbon to the card, but after searching supplies couldn't find any in the shade I wanted - time for a shopping trip methinks.
The leafy frame is actually made by using the leafy corner stamp 8 times to create the frame pattern - only possible with clear stamps. The background paper is one from the vintage range by Kanban.

A very simple notebook...

A little while ago I bought some tiny note books with the most awful cheap looking pictures on the covers. I thought they would be just great for altering. This is the first one I've got round to doing. Not much space to be creative on such a tiny cover, but I managed to fit one of the beautiful images from the Whiff of Joy spring stamp set, a ribbon and a couple of tiny gems in each corner.

My notebook is for the challenge at Stamp with Fun where the theme is 'anything but a card' this week.

Have a perfect day...

It's Monday and that means it Pink Elephant Day again - oh my it doesn't seem two minutes since we were all so excited to start the new Challenge Blog and now we're on week 17!! I really can't believe it.

This week we have a Recipe Challenge and the recipe is...

3 buttons

2 papers

and 1 sentiment!!!

I've used Royal Blue and Orange for my two papers, tiny orange buttons (2 round + 1 heart shaped button = 3) and one 'Have a purrfect day' sentiment.

A cute image of a cat with the fish bowl sneaked in on the act too - I'm hoping that's okay with the bosses! The cat is one of two cat images, accessories and sentiments from a clear set by Woodware.

Pop over to the Pink Elephant to see what the rest of the DT have come up with and I hope everyone will have time to play along with us this week.

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
