Epic Celebrations from Stampin'Up FREE until end of March

Buy Stampin'Up Epic Celebrations 

Hello there, its Friday and while normally I will be jubilant at the news, I wrote this week off entirely being really ill. Trust me I am not looking for sympathy and I am sick talking about it ( even more sick was being so ill I couldn't even bear to have the sound of the TV on). But its getting a little easier and I just wanted to take a minute to THANK YOU all from the bottom of my heart for your kind well wishes, flowers, gifts and thoughts. My face paralysis is doing SO MUCH better, miraculous in fact ( I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy at the weekend after waking up unable to move my face last Sunday). Its a virus and at such hard to predict but it seems it was temporary and I can smile once again with both sides of my face.  So hopefully a little more rest and I will be raring to go again :)

There is not much time left to collect some of the wonderful freebies in this year's Sale A Bration and Epic Celebrations is one of those sets on offer. I love having the trendy imagery perfect for young at heart..

I paired the Tutti Frutti papers with the trainer image and used the matching cards and envelopes which are also one of the free choices. The trainers were coloured using ink pads and a blender pen. I love those blender pens so handy to have an whip up for a bit of colouring especially on smaller images like this one.

 Bermuda bay and Crumb Cake were my ink colours perfect pairing for the bright Lemon lime twist card Base.

What do you think? Bright and cheery isn't it?

Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for your visit. Much love Monica xoxo

Hello There Friend

Hi :),  how is your week going?

I love the title of my blog today, and one of the first stamp sets I bought from this current Catalogue that Stampin'Up! launched in July was the gorgeous Hello Friend set.

I am blessed beyond words to have some over the top amazing friends in my life,  and this set is perfect for celebrating their amazingness or for letting them know you are thinking of them when life throws them a curve ball.

I have *played* with this particular set quite a bit over the last few weeks, I am also a fan of the matching Hello Friend Heat Embossed Project Kit which is what I used for all of my Retreat gift presentation this year. BTW, I know you are waiting for details of this year's retreat and I cannot wait to share them with you very soon. Its been a longer wait this time round as the first session was on the 1st of October, and my second session won't be held until the end of October, not long now and all will be revealed.

The beautiful lattice background was heat embossed in white powder and a watercolour wash was added using the Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo inks. A few over stamped flowers cried a lively background showed off by the whiteness of the card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Basic Grey ink and layered on a Flirty Flamingo circle, a few stamped and fussy cut flowers and some sequins added sparkle, the small section of burlap ribbon added texture. 

What do you think? do you have this set yet?? If you don't but you fancy owning it CLICK HERE to order yours today. 

I wish you a lovely rest of the week, thank you for visiting me today.

Till next time hugs and kisses
