It’s been a "Papertrey" kinda day!!

My amazing blog buddy Steph (Much Ado About Nothing) very generously loaned me some of her Papertrey stamps aswell as giving me some samples of their papers, card and ribbons!! Isn’t she the kindest girl EVER?? Well, while the baby napped, kids played on the computers, DS’s, Wii’s and whatever, I played with my crafty bits. The only thing I’ve used that wasn’t in the kit Steph sent me was some PM gems and as you know, it has to have bling if it’s been anywhere near me!!! Her blog, A Passion for Papertrey has a challenge on to make a standard C6 card using Papertrey products (not exclusivley, just include them somewhere). The third card which is clearly square (!) obviously does not qualify but the other two do!! The stamp sets I have used are Floral Frenzy, Butterfly Kisses and Around and About Sentiments. The stamps are great to use and the co-ordinating papers, card and ribbons are a dream. Steph has also sent me some samples of the “Chocolate” papers so I can’t wait to have a try with them too. These papers are called Raspberry Fizz and they are just gorgeous.

Well, I promised the kids I’d take them out for dinner so I guess I’d better wash the ink off my hands and step away from the scissors. I only have three of them here as hubby has taken the other two up to the Lakes with his friend. We have a motor boat and a wee apartment in Windermere Marina Village so try to get up there when we can. The apartment is booked out this weekend though so they’re all sleeping on the boat – hence why we all haven’t gone!! It does not make for a great night’s sleep but it is a lot of fun. It’s actually nice to spend some time with the children in smaller numbers too!!
