I love the new Hostess level 2 stamp set in the Mini Catalogue. I was lucky enough to get it last week but I’ve only just managed to put all the stamps on the wooden blocks today. I think all the stamps are gorgeous, but as a lover of tea, I adore this particular stamp. I’m not sure how often you’d need to make a card to invite someone over for tea or coffee, but I think it’s always nice to let someone know that you’re always there if they need a chat. All that’s missing is a nice choccy biscuit!

Hello all! I tided my craft room yesterday, can you believe it?! Yes you read correctly Michelle Last, I tidied! I love it when I have good sort out and move around. I feel so much better for doing it and it often sparks ideas for cards as I’m tidying away. Try it.

I made this card late last night. What do you all think? As for my craft desk, you’d never have known that I’d been a good girl and cleared up! I can never seem to stay tidy when I’m making a card. I hope to tidy up during the morning tomorrow so I can take some photos of my lovely room. It’s changed alot since I last took some.

I’ve not put a sentiment on this card because I thought it was obvious that it’s for someone very dear to me.

Please pop back to my blog tomorrow as I have something rather exciting going up! (You could win goodies!)
