It's my birthday today and I will be arriving back in the UK having been on a 9 night cruise stopping at ports in France, Spain & Portugal. I should be relaxed and revitalised ready for the busy month I've got ahead of me at work and also preparing for a crafty weekend I am going to on 25th and 26th June.
I have 43 make and take packs to make and 43 swaps. My trimmer blades are going to get blunt in no time, thank goodness I ordered two spare packs. It's going to be lots of late nights in the craft room, I've just got to make sure I stay focused and don't get too distracted with new products.
So this is my last post saying farewell to my favourite DSP from the Annual and Seasonal catalogue. I hope you've enjoyed it.
The wait is almost over. On Wednesday it will finally be time to place my order of new products! You'll be seeing lots of inspiration all over Pinterest. If you are not already following my Pinterest board, click here.
I hope you enjoyed the Pinkies Blog Hop a few days ago, wasn't it amazing? We're having a another one later on in June once we've managed to get our hands on some more shiny new products!
I absolutely love love love this DSP. I love a vintage feel and this paper always ticks all of the boxes. I've used loads of it in my projects but I have still never finished a pack. Click here to look at projects made with this DSP.
I used Kraft cardstock and Basic Black cardstock for both designs and changed up the layers so they complimented each other. What do you think?
There is only one project left in my Goodbye DSP series. There is so much other DSP retiring but these have been my ultimate favourites.

at the end of each post to keep hopping!
Welcome to my blog! I hope you find some inspiration here today to go to your craft stash and make something beautiful. Wasn't Sarah's project lovely? I am so excited to see all of the other projects the Pinkies have made!
My project features four new products from the forthcoming Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue. Can you spot them all?
The main feature of this card is the stunning new Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. Copper is so in right now, its everywhere I look from home furnishings to kitchenware to jewellery.
Did you know we will be having Copper Metallic Thread in the new catalogue? I literally cannot wait to get my hands on it (and a billion other things!)
Next up we have a brand new stamp set called Layering Love. Check out page 71 of the new catalogue, it's in a set with 5 other clear mount stamps. I've used the stamp with the sentiment "Enjoy the little things" for the card front and the stamp that says "Sometimes the (smallest) things take up the most room in your heart" for the inside. I love both of these stamps, the fonts are pretty cool aren't they?
This project features one of the new In Colours (2016 - 2018) called Flirty Flamingo, I've used the Flirty Flamingo cardstock in-between a layer of Basic Black and Basic Gray. I thought I wouldn't like this colour but when I started combining it with existing colours I found that I really loved it!
And finally, I used Flirty Flamingo ink to create the watercolour effect. I've used the Shimmery White cardstock as my base as it works really well when watercolouring with Aqua Painters.
Flamingos are EVERYWHERE at the moment. Some fellows demos have started to use the hashtag #ifoundaflamingo. on Facebook and Twitter each time they come across a Flamingo somewhere. Just you wait, you will be seeing them EVERYWHERE now. In fact, we have a flamingo stamp in the new catalogue!
It's now less than a week until the new catalogue goes live! I need to grab 5 minutes (okay, probably an hour or two) to go through the catalogue again and finalise my wish list, I cannot wait to place an order on Wednesday. I'm especially looking forward to working with some of the new DSP and of course the new stamp sets & dies!
