Sunny Days basket

I have resisted these bold, bright colours for so long - didn't really like them at first. Oh boy what a difference a free punch makes!! (All SU demos know what I mean!)

I found this idea on YouTube by Stampin' Up demo Monica Gale and thought it would be great in these Basic Bright colours. I used the Sunny Days Simply Scrappin' kit, the scallop edge punch and Pumpkin Pie ribbon. The only problem is I just do not know what else to add to it, it just does not look finished - maybe if I fill it with chocolate it might look better!

Reindeer Easel Card

Yes, another easel card - just love 'em!

I used the usual Old Olive, Real Red and Chocolate Chip CS, with the snowflake paper from Merry Moments DSP.

The reindeer (stags?) were stamped in Chocolate Chip over Sandy Sprinkles rolled in Creamy Caramel. I used both the oval punches and the greeting from Occasional Greetings. Chocolate Chip grosgrain and the scallop edge punch were also used.

Easel Desk Calendar

Well it just had to be done! As soon as I saw Jenny Moore's desk calendar I had to have a go.

I love Night of Navy, Taken With Teal and Pumpkin Pie together - woweeee!! I used the fantastic Circle Circus stamp set and went a bit mad with the Mat Pack! I think the scallop edge punch goes well with the stamp set and found a brad from the Hodge Podge kit to match too.

After a while of looking at this combination you will need to go and have a lie down in a darkened room to recover!!
