Fabulous Friends

When I started my blog and joined In Love With Stamping I could never begin to imagine that I would make such close friends - I doubted if anyone would ever even read my blog! But more than a year later I can't imagine life without two of my most cherished friends - Steph and Aimes; I met them through stamping but our friendship runs so much deeper.

I was having a hard time of things last week (hence no appetite for blogging) and these fabulous girls were there for me - listening to me, giving me a much-needed shoulder and cheering me up. Thank you girls, love you!

Speaking of fabulous friends, I also wanted to say a big hello to Emma - it was so great to chat on Sunday and can't wait to meet up hun!

I'm glad to say that I've my mojo has come back and I'm back on my Christmas card kick - another one using my favourite Medallion stamp from Stampin Up. I embossed the medallion with white e.p and dotted burgundy Stickles around the medallion - nice and sparkly IRL ;)


Recipe: Stamps - Medallion/Seasonal Wishes
Ink - Versamark/Bravo Burgundy

Card - Very Vanilla/Kraft/Bravo Burgundy
Other - Bravo Burgundy ribbon/burgundy Stickles/pearl/white embossing powder


Here's a bunch of cards I made for the challenge we set on A Passion for Papertrey on Monday, it's all about the bling!

All card details, as well as details of the challenge are on A Passion for Papertrey.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hey Kate,
Sorry that you've been down in the dumps lately.......glad that you've gotten your mojo back.

The cards are very elegant, I still haven't gotten the Medallion Stamp yet may have to rethink that tho, I've been seeing some wonderful cards using it.

So sorry you've been feeling down hun. I thought that as it was quiet your side that you were perhaps on holiday, how wrong could I be. Love to see that your mojo is back. I especially love the medallion card, very much your usual elegant style. If you ever need another shoulder then I'm here too.

Stunning cards - I am totally in love with the medallion stamp and it may just be your fault!
