A new week is here - I had a super lazy Sunday.... I was sad after hearing the news of Sean Connery's passing, I found myself in a James Bond movie binge and before I knew it I was several movies into the collection and the day was gone, so when I got home from work on Monday I quickly made a card to join in this months International Hi ghlights hosted by Kylie Bertucci.  Our theme is Thank You, those 2 little words can brighten someones day, so this month I've done a bright and cheery card using the Hippo Happiness Bundle. I used a multitude of Brights colours for my design - Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Gorgeous Grape, and a touch of Highland Heather for the butterfly "tails". Speaking of multitude of colours..... what about my nails, they were for Halloween/Day of the Dead - I like them so much I'm keeping the colours til they need to be changed!! Back to the card, I did a mixture of stamping on the card base, then used the 2 step just on the she...

Thanks for joining me today as I take part in a blog hop! with a group of Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin' Up!® business and reach some goals we have set - I'm putting my hand up to say I've dropped the ball since COVID, and are trying to get "back on the wagon so to speak, so I really appreciate your support. You may be starting here or have come from another blog - either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea today.

One of the first things to catch my eye in the Hippo Happiness Stamp Set was the butterflies, I'm not sure I can say what it was exactly, but they are so cute, and I love the little swirly dotted tr...

I'm definitely out of sorts at the moment, try as I might, I've not been getting any daytime inspiration, and then when I'm trying to go to sleep I suddenly get ideas..... not a good thing when I've started a new roster that has me at the office 2 hrs hours earlier than I used too before my return to work after my COVID19 work from home period. I've been looking at the Hippo Happiness set for days, I was focused on the butterflies... then last night I just started stamping, I wasn't sure about he card I started so I put it to one side and then things came together and this gorgeous card was created - I couldn't be happier! There are so many "hero's" in this card - the combination of Gorgeous Grape with Magenta Madness is just STUNNING layering with the Stitched Stars die cuts while a little fiddly looks amazing too, and lets not forget the cute little guy in the middle! Here's a close up o...
