Now, let me be honest here & say the piece I’ve used on my card today has been on my desk for sometime & I’ve just been moving it from spot to spot.  At one stage it ended up in the bin before being rescued.  You can imagine me doing a happy dance when I saw this card lol as the piece was just perfect for today’s card.

I am really happy with the layout of this one as it sort of come together of it’s own free will.  Does that often happen to you.

Sunny Days DSP | Stampin’ Up! | Sale-a-Bration

G’Day Friends,

Well, where did that time go?  It’s our last week of sharing Brithday Cards with you  over on our FB Pages.  Sure hope you have gotten lots of ideas & inspiration from them.

I found another Sketch Layout over on Pinterest & thought it perfect to showcase the fun Sunny Days DSP.  I will warn you that the colours of Copper Clay, Petal Pink & Shaded Spruce are way out of comfort zone.  Oh, I’ve tossed in a little of Crushed Curry too.

Let’s face it, not all of us like the same colour combinations, so it always a great idea to do this once in awhile.  I do hope you like this combination?

Did you see the sentiment stamped direct onto the Designer Series Paper?  I love doing this when I am able.  It is just another way of using our papers.

If you live in Australia, don’t forget to use the January Host Code – 6S9VP4P4 – only if your order is under $250.  Valid from 1 – 31 January 2024.
