Welcome to my team - Stampin' Up Artisan blog hop

I blinked and Thursday came around again! Thursdays are special days when I join my Artisan Designer teamies to bring you ideas and inspiration on a fab blog hop! Are you ready to join us?

PAINTED BLOOMS NOTEBOOKS
The team were sent some gorgeous goodies from the new Stampin' Up spring/summer catalogue this month and I fell instantly in love with the Painted Petals stamp set and coordinating Painted Blooms designer paper. (I've already had to order another couple of packs of this! One to use and one to stroke!) Come and see what I made with them:

Here's an idea for a gift that would go down well with lots of ladies I know! These are just ordinary notebooks but covering them with the beautiful Painted Blooms paper, tying them up with ribbon and adding a little tag really raises them to the next level.

But, in fact, I made these notebooks as gifts for new recruits to my Stampin' Up team, The Inkredibles, so naturally each one required a coordinating card!

I love how the Stampin' Up mini stapler has such a long reach. It was easy to punch the stamped greeting out with the Ticket punch and staple it to the centre of my stamped panel.

There's a background stamp in the Painted Petals set with lines on it and being photopolymer, it's a doddle to make gingham with!

Oh Pacific Point, I've fallen in love with you again! This beautiful blue teams well with Wild Wasabi green and a few flecks of Hello Honey marker add interest.

Would you like to see how the cards coordinate with the notebooks? Come on then:

Here we go! Pinks...

... purples...

... and blue! Which is your favourite?

I took my lovely puppy to her first puppy training class on Monday evening but I'm afraid she didn't behave very well. She was so excited to see the other puppies and all she wanted to do was play with them. She pulled and pulled on her lead and it was all I could do to hold her. "She's quite er... busy, isn't she?" said the instructor crushingly.  Sometimes it's hard to believe that one day, Eva will become a calm and gentle lady dog!

See you tomorrow when I'll be showing you more goodies from the Stampin' Up spring/summer catalogue 2015. See you then,
