Hello girls!
I took a few minutes during my class prep yesterday to do the latest Swap Sister Challenge!!! FINALLY!!! There is just not enough time to play … is there! But … I clicked on this challenge … and immediately HAD to try it! So … here is the Swap Sisters COLOUR challenge (Apr 4) for this week …
And … I teamed this challenge with the latest Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge #145 … which was a FAB sketch for the DSP I had in mind! Sometimes a card just “falls into place” quite easily … and the end result is really pleasing!!! So … here is my card …
And … with those colours … how could I resist another play with my Kaleidoscope DSP. This is the first time that I have used a complete pack of DSP! This was the last (part) sheet that I had left of the whole pack!!! You all know how much I love these papers. But … not to worry … even though they are now “retired” (Summer Mini ’09/’10) … I did manage to order a 2nd pack before they disappeared!!! 😀 😉 So … plenty more to play with! 😀
I still have a little organisation to do for Friday … and with a shopping trip to Miranda with my girls tomorrow … I really need to get it done! C U soon! (I hope!) 😀
OH … AND … I MEANT TO TELL YOU … THE SECOND HALF OF THE AUTUMN/WINTER MINI CATTY BLOG HOP BEGINS TODAY … CLICK HERE TO BEGIN -> Sonia Garbutt.

Well I am sure that you know that this card is a hit with me. Mmmmm….lurv the kaleidoscope papers. Bought myself an extra pack before it disappeared!
And I pray and hope that Great Friend set makes it into the next IB&C. It is just too beautiful.
I can’t beleive that I have been away for so long and have so much to catch up on.
Cheers
Sonia
Andrea adds: Ooooh! Yes! I hope Great Friend makes it too! It seemed we had all too short a time with it! 😀
