A Funky Forest and Elements of Style

I got some more goodies that my courier man delivered to me from Stampin’ Up this week so naturally, I have had to try some of them out.

I already had Forest Friends stamp set and when I received my Funky Four set this week wondered how I could combine the two.  The answer was there in front of me in the form of Karen’s swap card (see my previous post) so thought I would use that concept and this is what I came up with.  I think it is rather cute – do you?

Another new set that I had been eyeing up and now have is the gorgeous Elements of Style & this is the card I made using it:
     

I still have some other stamp sets yet to be christened as well as the white shimmer paint, the Shimmery White cardstock not to mention the cardstock in the new colours that I haven’t really played around with yet.  What else – there must have been more because I know it was a big boxful of ‘toys’ – oh yes, the new matching border and corner punches.  Have to get to and make something using all these new things before the mini catty comes out otherwise I won’t be able to justify buying from it (and that would just not do!!)

Have an appointment at Auckland Hospital on Tuesday with the Thyroid surgeon (in the letter they call it the Otorhinolaryngology Department – now you try pronouncing that!!)  Guess crunch day is looming closer.

On a happier note – woohoo Silver Ferns – fantastic win and you all fully deserve your gold medals.  Talk about an adrenalin rush!!

Have a great weekend all.
