Ahoy there Matey!  Here to share a card made with one of the sets from Steph’s latest release at Clearly Besotted Stamps.  If you haven’t been over to the shop to see the sets in all their glory then don’t waste any more time – they are AMAZING!!  I couldn’t wait to ink up this set – Ahoy Matey.  How fab is that little ship?  Steph has released 12 new sets in total and each one is so different and unique – there is literally something for everyone!

{Birthday Boy} Stamps: Ahoy Matey (CBS) Cardstock: Stampers Select White, Enchanted Evening, Ocean Tide, Hawaiian Shores (PTI) Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Aqua Mist Tools: Modern number dies (PTI), Glossy Accents.

Hello everyone – been some time since I posted but life has been somewhat manic this past few weeks!!  Thankfully I had time one night to get together with some some great friends for a crafty night of fun making little items for the school fair which is tomorrow.  We’ve been doing this for a few years now and it’s always lovely to actually craft socially – don’t think there’s many of us get much time to do that!

One of the things we made this year are these little pillow boxes made using PTI’s pillow box die.  They are SO simple to make and are great for little gifts or even gift cards!  I think we ended up with about 40 of them – but here’s a small sample.

Thesse also fit in with our new “Christmas” themed challenge over on A Passion For Papertrey so pop on over and you could win a PTI gift certificate!

Merry Christmas,

Caryn xxx
