Create Wall Art

Around Christmas time I bought a 12x12" frame with the idea of maybe using it as a framed scrapbook page Christmas present for the grandparents but Christmas came and went and I didn't get around to it so it was just sitting there while I thought up something else to do with it. Then when I saw this gorgeous frame made by Bronwyn Eastley for the Just Add Ink design team, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it, so I put it on my to-do list. The main factor stopping me from doing it straight away was the fact that I had no 12x12" kraft in my stash. So anyway, while I was weighing up whether Sahara Sand would sufficiently fill the void (you know me and my Kraft obsession), I spotted Kraft amongst the new 12x12" single colour packs in the Autumn/Winter mini!!! And then, because I knew that it was coming I couldn't possibly use anything other than Kraft cardstock. But the wait was worth it, because I was able to pair it up with my newest obsession, Cottage Wall DSP!!! 

PS Check out my new page (you can also find a link in the sidebar<==), I have created a page to link up my list of projects that I want to CASE in some way in the future, I was keeping track of them all in tabs in a firefox window but everytime I had to restart firefox it would take for-EVAH so I made this page for personal reference but I thought I would share the inspiration. I will be deleting them as I use them and adding them as I find them so keep checking back regularly.

I'm so far behind in blogging!

It's not that I haven't been stamping, I've been doing heaps (well considering there's an 11 1/2 week old in the house...), it's just that I haven't been uploading! So I'm going to upload up a storm tonight and schedule some posts to give my much neglected blog a little inky love (that's inky with an "I" not kinky... just for the record lol).
Anyway this card is a sneak peek at some new products available next week in the Summer mini. I love this DSP! when I first started stamping I was all about the bold brights colour family but then I discovered DSP and I toned things down a bit to use all those gorgeous DSP colour combo's. I know that we have pink flamingo as a bright colour combo, but flamingoes just really do nothing for me so I haven't really had a bright DSP option up until now and I'm loving it sick! I'll be dusting off those bold brights ink pads so watch out!
This card is for my brother-in-law Chris and his now fiance Amy as their engagement card, (I'm so excited they're engaged - We love Amy and she loves us - or at least does a good job of putting up with us lol) so I thought the "Butterfly Prints" ('nother sneak peek item) sentiment was perfect for an engagement card, especially since we're so "pleased" that they're engaged.
