Hello – it’s Saturday – yay!  I hope it’s a good weekend where ever you are?!  I’m here to share a couple of cards I made using the September 2014 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp  called Life is a Storybook. I received my kit a couple of weeks ago but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to play with it!  I love the October Afternoon papers and stickers that came with the kit -they have a lovely, vintage charm to them.  The stamp set is great too – great little scene building images and sentiments.

My first card primarily features the stamp set.  I’ve used all Avery Elle pigment inks (spotted any of the new colours in there??!)  – they’re gorgeous!The second card focuses on the fabulous papers and stickers from the kit.  The only stamp I’ve used is the little picture frame.  The images in the frame were picked out from one of the patterned papers!

I’m very busy preparing samples for the upcoming release from Avery Elle – there’s some AMAZING new stamps and dies coming soon and you’re going to LOVE them!  Did I mention new inks?  And a new paper pad??  Can’t wait!
