The UPS truck paid a visit today and the goodies WERE ALL MINE! It was like Christmas opening up the boxes. This may sound weird but I love to “organize” my stuff when it comes in. Mind you it doesn’t stay like that for long.
I have some girls coming over on Saturday for a class and I am holding another class Wednesday evening that I need to get ready for – but sometime over the weekend I hope to play. One of the goodies was the new Sizzix Pop Up Cake die – I can’t wait to try that out. I have seen some great cards made with it – but it does look fiddly.
Another swap card I received at London’s regional was this card by Rose Murphy. I have this stamp set and to be honest it is not my favourite. Whenever I coloured the elephant it looked too cartoonish. WELL… I have changed my mind. Rose was very clever and stamped the elephant on some DSP and then cut it out and glued it on top of the stamped image on the card. What a difference it makes to the elephant. Of course I love the colour combination that she used.
On a side note – this is not a lot to some but I am over 3000 hits on the blog. Whoohoo. I am working on some blog candy for my 5000th hit. I can’t wait.
Have a good one.

ooh – how cute and the elephant looks really fancy with the paper piecing :).
Oh I can see why you changed your mind! He’s adorable done in dp!!! Love the color combo too! Enjoy the new goodies and we’ll be watching to see them as you use them! 🙂
The elephant is cute in patterned paper. Congrats on the hits.
Great card! I wouldn’t have thought to paper piece the elephant, but it looks great!
Oh, I agree with you on this card! It looks great with the paper piecing! Gorgeous colors, too.
It’s always fun when the UPS truck pulls up to the door and the packages are all for you….
Congratulations on your 3000th visit that is exciting…
I just love goodies. Have fun. I love the paper piercing
