Always to hand

You can never have too many notebooks, mine are scattered a little, one in the car, one in my handbag, one in my craftroom and one in the kitchen drawer!  You never know when something's going to pop into your head and you need to document it before it slips away!

I made some of these for team members, simply decorated in subtle Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride.  The ovals were die cut using the Framelits then stamped with the Hardwood stamp and daubed around the edge to define.

My trusty Gorgeous Grunge made an appearance on the background and the Bitty Punch Pack that I use so often, here little flowers punched from Vellum.

The framed image is from "Chalk Talk" along with the "For You" greeting.  The frame was stamped with Versamark then heat embossed with Pewter embossing powder.  This stamp set has a co-ordinating Framelit set, buy with the stamps and receive a 15% discount.

I tied Chevron around the top to make it a little prettier.

Petite Petals

I had to make a couple of cards to welcome some lovely ladies to my team of "Inspirationals" and also I needed some team cards and here they are.

I am loving the new "Hardwood" background stamp, it is perfect for masculine themed cards but also works well for a multitude of occasions.

Here I made an aperature in a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Ovals Framelits dies.  I stamped that with the Hardwood Stamp along with the Naturals Ivory layer beneath it.  I daubed the edges to add some depth.

I used the Petite Petals stamps which have a matching punch and when purchased together as a bundle you can save 15%.

The wording on this card is from the "Fabulous Phrases" set, a very useful set to own.  I layered it onto a Wooden Element banner then onto a Soft Suede banner cut using the Banners Framelits Dies.

I wrapped around a piece of Blushing Bride Chevron ribbon.
