Enjoy Life

Hello ...

I've been busy preparing projects for my Special Needs group ... 
Cutting out enough to make 20 Valentine banners ... That's 100 fishtail book pages and 100 hearts ... Then it's onto card stock and embellishments to make their valentine cards ... 

I took a little break last night to make a card for the challenge at



I've never entered here before ... but in case you hadn't noticed by my last few cards ... and I'm sure you have lol!  I'm hooked on my new Paint Splat stamp
Perfect to create something for this challenge ... 


And really quick ... except for those tiny butterflies which kept trying to fly away 


The stamp is by Inkylicious, the sentiment is a digital, butterflies are from a Memory Box die
and the inks are Teal Zeal by Memento and Red by Dovecraft


Bold and Cheery and quick ....

Ok, got a lot of cutting still to do so I'll wish you a lovely start to your week and I'll see you tomorrow

Till soon

~ Ros ~

Might be quick, but it's certainly very effective!! Can see why you love those splats!!

Good luck with all the prep, such a worthwhile cause though by the sound of it!

Your addiction to the paint splat (even SAYING it is fun!) stamp set is one you don't have to worry about... It worked so well for this lovely, spontaneous-looking card. Love that the butterflies got "splatted" too! I hope you'll share a finished sample of the Valentine banners you'll be making. thanks for joining the Dynamic Duos challenge this week-hope to see you again.
