Welcome to the crafty collaborations Retiring In Colours blog hop!
It's that time of year where we say goodbye some In Colours, so here is one last share of cards I've created with the 2019 - 2021 In Colours Seaside Spray, Purple Posy, Pretty Peacock, Rococo Rose & Terracotta Tile from Stampin' Up!
If you have arrived from another blog in the hop, hello and welcome to my blog!
I'm Kim and I live in Somerset in the UK. You'll find lots of inspiration here today from Stampin' Up! demonstrators and papercrafters from Australia, Canada, USA and the UK!

Can you believe I only tried the One Sheet Wonder technique for the first time a few weeks ago?
If you watch my Instagram stories you may recall seeing some of these pictures.... I was attending my demo friends virtual event Let's Get Creative and this was one of the projects we made. Booking is now open for their June event so do check out their Facebook page by clicking here
My friend Jenny McCormac demonstrated how to make 4 cards with one A4 sheet of stamped images. Such a great technique if you love getting inky!
❤ This is a photo of my grandma and I ❤
This photo may have been taken over 20 years ago but I adore it and will treasure it forever. It triggers memories of weekend visits from our grandparents. Then I remember trips to their house in Ollerton, which bring even greater memories. It was always fun to sleep over at their house. I remember playing in the garden, Grandma's legendary buffets and Grandads jokes! Such good times!
I created these two sympathy cards to send to my aunties Janet and Carol and their families. I will be seeing them today as we are travelling to Nottingham for Grandmas funeral.
With the restrictions in place due to coronavirus, my Dad is in Trinidad and unable to get back to the UK for the funeral. This breaks my heart but thank goodness for modern technology as he is able to join via video link.
Today will be bittersweet as it will be the first time I've seen my brother in over a year and the first time in several years since I have seen my aunties, uncles, cousins and extended family.
It will be so difficult not being able to give my family a hug but I am thankful that we can be together, as the maximum limit to gather for the funeral is 30 people.
Black and white cards are often created by papercrafters to send condolences. The True Love DSP was the perfect choice for this sombre occasion.
I patiently fussy cut the flowers from the DSP and adhered them to a white background. A simple sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set is all that was needed.
