A really easy case I found by Kanga on SCS. I changed the colour combination and I was very pleased with the result. This is a card that could be easily made with any stamps you have.

Scribble This


Wow I love this set and I don't even own it yet, one of my downlines lent it to me. I can see it is going to have to be on the top of my next shopping list! Here I have done a very simple 8 by 8 layout using the stampset to make all the patterened paper I have used. I have used very vanilla and certainly celery c/s stamped with certainly celery ink and brocade blue c/s stamped with brocade blue ink. The flowers were stamped in basic brown ink on very vanilla c/s and then coloured with stampin' pastels chalk. I only used celery ribbon and then rose red and orchid opulence c/s to make faux ribbon. The tab is made with the new round tab punch from apricot appeal c/s and stamped with the hello stamp from the Taggers Dozen set from the mini.
We made this layout in a recent workshop and some ladies swapped the very vanilla and certainly celery c/s around so that their photo was sitting on a colour rather than a neutral. They looked fabulous! Call me if you'd like to try this layout in a workshop in your own home.
