How much stash do you have that hasn't seen the light of day for a while. Well I haven't used my X cut shape tool for absolutely ages. I got it out and thought either use it or sell it. Mmm, the diamond shape worked perfectly with the image so I am keeping it and going to use it. The larger shapes are particularly useful for scrapbooking. I was lucky enough to win a £10 LOTV voucher last week so I got 3 new stamps including this older James stamp which I needed. Last time I tried colouring on kraft card I wasn't very happy with it but this time I used Desert Storm colouring card from Crafter's Companion and I am delighted with the result.

I won't be around today as it is my Birthday. Hubby asked me what I wanted for my Birthday and I said clothes so we stayed overnight last night at a Premier Inn at Freeport, Braintree and today I will be shopping at the outlets there.

I'm not surprised you had to have this cutie and great papers, it's funny how sometimes old things inspire you to use them !, Luv Sam x
Hanging head in shame as I fall well into that category as well Marianne. But there again don't most of us ?
Another lovey crimbo card, the bear is coloured to perfection and such bright and happy DP's.
No secret that I can't colour in for toffee so used that as an excuse to order the new chameleon pens from C&C, who knows I just might managed a half passable image eventually.
Thanks for joining in at Penny Black and More challenge again.
