Umbrella Card

Hello all of you ladies out there. Hope you all had a fantastic weekend, and got lots of creative things done. I did!! I finished 19 recipe cards for my RSA swap, created a card for Stamp 'n Stuff and did a lovely scrapbook page of my gorgeous guys. I think I am going to also feature some scrapbook pages in the future. So look out for that.

Anyway, the card I created this weekend was my first attempt at paper piecing, and I must admit I really enjoyed it. It was a pretty straight forward project for me to start with, but at least I now have got the idea!

The stamp I used is by Stamp 'n Stuff and is No. 160J and you will find it under the General category and it is only R18.00. This is a simple but very versatile stamp, and I look forward to using it in lots of different ways.

Hey Ne'
Your cards are coming along so nicely. Please DO start uploading some of your scrapbooking pages as soon as you gan - I'd love to see how that's coming along too.
Thanks for the call this morning - maybe a good chat over the weekend if you have a chance?
