Fresh Daisies!

Hello there!

Wednesday and how is that we are pretty much half way through January..time flies these days..

Pretty lazy day here at the cottage, lots of laying on the lounge and taking it easy, woke up feeling like the truck with a load of cattle on board rolled over me...so needless to say wasn't really feeling like doing too much..

I have decided to type this post up early and then have an early night, maybe some catch up on some sleep may help me push through the barrier tomorrow as I really do have lots to do..

Today, is the start of a new challenge with Simon Says and this week, also one of my favourites as I got to dive into my somewhat large and ever growing pile of Washi Tape..



I wanted to go with a really simple, elegant and yet understated card, adding the die cut from Simone Says, Fresh Daisies..adding a simple sentiment to complete a card that at times are one of the hardest to create...

Before I sign of for the night, I know that most of you have seen the new stamps from Tim Holtz stamps, but I thought that I would share the ones that are currently in transit to me, I cannot wait for their arrival to have a little play around..







Now this one has been out for a little while now, but I just adore that butterfly and bunny and had to have it..




I cannot wait to share these creations with you all...

 Now don't forget to pop on over to my lovely teamies and check out what they have created for your inspiration this week and the deets of the challenge..



As always the lovely and sweet Heidi will give one lucky winner $50 to spend in store..



Have a great day or night!
