Hello! Oh I am so glad it's Friday! And it's a long weekend! 

I'm in love with Polkadoodles at the moment. The Winnie digi stamps are gorgeous!  And I'm waiting on an order of all four of the very lovely and creative "Stamp Soup" sets.  I just could not resist!

My card for today is a Winnie coloured with Copics. I'm using up papers I've had for a while.  I taken the inspiration for colouring her from the papers. To be honest, that's what I usually do.  One reason is I just love (to the point of obsession) paper of all descriptions, and the other reason is it's much easier to get a match when you colour (and you let the paper designer do all the hard work finding good colour combos!)

The greeting is from Fabulous Fushias by Clearly Besotted.

Here she is.. a simple card. Not too OTT on embellishments!

Hi!  I hope you are having a lovely week! Mine has been a little short on crafty time so I'm really looking forward to a crafty girls road trip this weekend!  I'll just have to try and resist the temptation of buying too much! (yeah, that will work!)

Making the most of my limited time I have been playing with one of the new sets I got from Clearly Besotted, which comes with a matching die (seems to be the way now! Not that I'm complaining as I HATE to cut things!!)

This is one of the sets I got recently (so more new toys to play with when I get some time!!).  It's called "An Apple a Day" and it has a partner apple die (which fits perfectly!)

Here it is.. click on the pic to go to the Clearly Besotted store..

Hi!   I'm all confused.. having a day on holiday yesterday made me think it was Saturday!  Not that I'm complaining!  Yesterday afternoon gave way to a major de-stash (I say "major" but the 7 full shopping bags has barely made a dent in the amount of stuff in this room!)  I'm pleased I've done it though.. not quite finished.. being really ruthless as I have acquired so much stuff over the last 11 or so years that there really is a lot that I would never use now. 

So not much time to craft but I have made a simple card using Dandelion Dreams by Clearly Besotted. 
I think this is going to be a really versatile stamp set..  I can even see a sympathy card if the colours were right and the layout was not too fussy.
