Miss Pinks Craft Spot

Welcome to the September Stampin Friends Blog Hop, this month is celebrating Fall. Whilst it's not Autumn in Australia, the weather is still very changeable in Adelaide, so whilst it is officially Spring it feels just like when Autumn comes to stay - I can't wait for it to warm up a bit, the sun to shine for more than a couple of days before it rains again. As you would know I love pink, so Autumn colours can be a challenge with yellows and oranges - not in my "go-to" range, but combined with a little Fresh Fig, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie are just amazing!

So glad the weekend is here, I've had a busy day and have also managed some crafting, yay! I opened Flourishing Phrases for the first time joined in this weeks Global Design Challenge as it was the perfect opportunity to play with my new floral purchase!
