Something New and Something Old

Its is time to say goodbye the old Spring Mini Catalogue and HELLO! to the NEW Summer Mini. So today's post is using something Old and something New.

The Xmas wreath is made using the Ski Slop Designer Series paper (old) and the Circle Scissor Plus cutting system is (New) in the Summer Mini.

The Circle Scissor plus in ideal for cutting and drawing the perfect circle and adding them to your project is so easy.

I have also used Real Red ribbon and clear Rhinestone Brads.

A New Fresh Look

I have had the opportunity to spend sometime on my blog which is very neglected I was up till 1:30am last night just to get a start on it. So I have moved a few things around to given it a fresh new look. I am hoping to add more things and make a few improvements.

I just wish I had more time to spend on my blog and stamping than I do, but working full time work does not give me that luxury.Oh! one can only dream....

Well I hope you like the new look and will check back later to find out what's going on especially with Stampin Up! there has been a lot of new developments lately and I look forward to sharing them with you.
