Friday, June 19

Hi, hope your having a great day. I have two kids home from school today and most of next week, the swine flu has hit the school and it's closed for a week. I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. It's lucky that I work from home and don't have to take time off like some parents have to. They go back to school on Friday for one day then it's school holidays and their home for another two weeks. I'll have to think of some interesting things for them to do like clean their rooms and wash the car. grin My older child is not happy at all, his school is still opened, but for how long!
The card I have to show you today is a Wedding Anniversary card for my Mum and John. I've used my new stamp set Dreams du Jour and I got to play with my new toy the crimper. I love the crimper in the Stampin' Up! catalogue (made by Fiskars) it is so much better than my old cheep one which struggled to crimp two sheets of DSP. This crimper can crimp cardboard from a packaging box very easily and is much wider. I'm going to be playing with it a lot.
Recipe
Stamp Set: Dreams du Jour
Ink: pink pirouette, ruby red, kiwi kiss, basic brown, close to cocoa
Card: close to cocoa, whisper white, pink pirouette
DSP: Urban Oasis
Punch: eyelet boarder
Accessories: crimper, blender pen, stripped ribbon pink pirouette, 2 way glue pen, snips, dimenionals

Hopefully, with the kids home, I'll be able to get some computer time...

oooh, lovely Leah! LOL I've recently purchased the crimper too, and just did a class using Dreams Du Jour - we ARE twins, surely?

Bring on the school holidays!
