Stamptember day 2...

Here we go again, another card using this new set called Presents and Ornaments from Simon Says Stamps

this time I decided to make a birthday card - I know it's a Christmas set, but there are all sorts of little elements on there that can be used for other cards, so I used two of the little stitched circle dies, the solid star and some of the presents and bows. I used Stampin Up celery ink, Hero Arts pool, and a Studio G orange chalk ink - note to self, ask Santa for loads of Simon Says Stamp and Hero Arts inks

 the presents have all been given a coat of Wink of Stella clear glitter pen, but of course, that doesn't show in the photo, it looks pretty though

and I'm sharing with you a lovely thank you card that I received from Debbie, she recently won some markers, and this arrived in the mail, isn't it lovely? Thank you so much Debbie x

So there I was in the charity shop, doing some sorting, which basically means opening black sacks of donations and praying before you dive in. Along comes a young fellow who dumped eleven bags on the floor and walked out muttering 'you're welcome to it......'

So I dived in, and there was this treasure trove of designer/high end fashion, all very current, all very expensive, all very immaculate (and unfortunately, not my size). Eleven sacks full! So I have a theory (of course), - she has just done a runner with his best friend, and is coming back at the weekend to collect her expensive designer wardrobe.......well, it's all priced up and hanging in the shop, if she hurries she may be able to snag a bargain - okay, so when you are 'black sack diving' for a few hours, you need a few entertaining thoughts to fill your mind.

I wasn't called on to use the cash register this time, I can't think why - they are probably still trying to get the books to balance after my last attempt...

The latest 'grandchild gem', this time from five year old Milo....

'If Max dies, can I have his room?'

Kids!!!!

See you tomorrow, don't forget the poll please x
