Where has the year gone! My daughter has just returned to school this week and has only 7 weeks of Grade 3 left, I am sure she was only a toddler a year ago! We had a lovely week in Ballarat with family only it was very cold and stormy which caused havoc across the southern states.
Anyway to a few challenges I have had my eye on this week. I have finished my daughter's birthday invitations which I will put up next week when they have been sent, just need to work on the take home gift now.
This first card combines the gorgeous colours of the Shabby Tea Rooms latest challenge and the Sweet Stop's latest design.
This patterned paper would be my favourite of all the PTI papers but I always forget to use it.
What you need
Cardstock - PTI white, new leaf; SU Early Espresso
Patterned paper - Autumn Abundance
Stamps - PTI Turning a New Leaf, Beautiful Blooms 2; SU Curly Cute
