Pink Gifts

I'm back to cards, and more specifically a Christmas card featuring some gorgeous pink papers that I've got from The Stamp Basket.  I've been saving them for a time when I needed to get myself motivated.

Although I've really enjoyed making the clocks over the last few days, I've not been feeling very positive about some of my recent cards, so I needed a bit of a 'card boost'.  It seems that a proper girlie theme is just what I needed, and I'm really pleased with this one, probably because it uses lots of my favourite things: pink, glitter, ribbon, flowers, pearls and my favourite pearl brad.

Hopefully this is a turning point and I'll be back on track again!



While I've got your attention, there's a clearance sale on at the Stamp Basket. Loads of items are reduced and it's a great opportunity to grab some bargains if you're thinking of buying Christmas presents for crafting friends.  All the details are on the Stamp Basket's blog.

As it’s something I really don’t like doing for a whole comment will admit to this being a copy and paste one because I am unable to type properly at the moment, but didn't want to miss the opportunity to take a look at your lovely creation and thank you for joining us at Stamping Sensations challenge.
