Its been a while…..

In fact, it’s been a very long while! I always start the year with good intentions and then life just gets in the way. Earlier this year, I lost my father and along with it quite a lot of my mojo!

I continued to run my weekly Coffee and Card group, but all other things just went well and truly out of the window. The workshops i had planned just didn’t happen.

Fast forward to last week and I attended a Stampin’ Up! ™ event in Lincoln. It was a great day of crafting and catching up with people, some who I had never actually met in person. It was a fab day.

During the day, we had the opportunity to swap cards with others – great way for new inspiration, and we also had 2 demonstrators share a project each with us.

The first project was shared by Cheryldiana Taylor and used two-tone card stock and the Prairie Grass stamp set.

And the second was by Caroline Heslam, who gave us all the 1st card as her swap and then helped us all to make the second card, once again using 2 tone card and the Prairie Grass stamps.

All this inspired me to use this technique fro my Coffee and Card ladies, but also to use all the offcuts from making the original design card to make 2 more cards. This was the result;

Many of the stamps used at Coffee and Card were retired, but are available on my shop.
