Good Morning everyone!

You may notice my blog is looking a little different this morning. I have been playing with a new program to design blog templates and this is what I came up with last night and I do hope you like what I’ve done. I was up until the wee hours tweaking it and would appreciate your thoughts and comments on the new look.

Speaking of thoughts …..

Here’s a new card I made recently which is a case of a card from the Idea Book & Catalogue using the lovely Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.

This card is a very soft elegant card and really could be used for any occasion – not just a sympathy or caring card.  Just change the sentiment and you’re set.

Recipe:

Stamps: Thoughts and Prayers, Frames with a Flourish
Inks: Versamark, Whisper White Craft Ink, So Saffron, Close to Cocoa
Paper: Kraft, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Sage Shadow, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Stamp a majig, Stampin Pastels, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals

I do hope you like this card as much as I do and this just shows that our Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalogue really is more than ‘just a catalogue’ as it has over 300 samples, tips and ideas throughout the book – so much more value than buying a stamping magazine which is full of advertisements!

If you dont have your own copy then contact me today to get your copy for just $10.00.

Now dont forget to pop back tomorrow for the ESAD-SU blog hop – this is the second blog hop to introduce you to the gorgeous new stamps and products included in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.
