Wow flowers

A simple but very bold card made using the Wow flowers set from Stampin' up,

The colours in this card are Real red, Tempting turquoise, So saffron & Pumpkin pie, basic black & Whisper white are the additional card stock colours. The punches used on this card are the scallop border punch 1" circle & 1 1/4" circle. 

Wow flowers is a great little set of 4 stamps & for just £10.95 it is a real bargain, it's on page 97 of the current catalogue & is often overlooked as it appears amongst the papers & die cut sets.

The inspiration came for this card from a fellow demo;s site in America, Sarah's Inkspot, she has some gret projects so check her out.

It's still flowing Day 4

Well the creative juices are still flowing, well trickling out rather than gushing which I guess is better than nothing.

It has been a funny week at work this week, Monday we were all evacuated because of a fire at work, 5 fire engines in attendance and a customer who refused to leave. the store had only been re-opened for 20 minutes & a customer came up to my colleague and said that he thought he was having a stroke, cue first aider and an ambulance.
If that wasn't enough in the afternoon we had two unattended bags left in the middle of my department, when I called out asking if the belonged to anyone a customer came forward, I asked that she stayed with her luggage as we had already evacuated the store once today, to which she gave me the Nazi salute, Nothing surprises me with some of our customers anymore.

On Wednesday we lost a work experience girl, & after investigation she had gone home sick without telling anyone, but you do worry when someone disappears.

Well enough waffle about my weird week here is todays card.

Cardmakers Mojo! Where can I buy some

My cardmakers mojo is struggling to come to the surface at the moment I am finding it incredibly hard to make the cards i need for family & friends at the moment.
I also need to find inspiration for my Stampin' up samples. This all started just after I had finished my Christmas cards. Since Scrapbooking became my favourite past time I have really struggled.

My personal challenge is 1 card
1 Stampin' Up set of stamps
1 colour family
Each day for a whole week.

Day 1

So to start the creative juices flowing I have lifted the idea from a sample made by my upline Michelle.
