Where has the last week gone......?

Hiya everyone, hope you're all enjoying this fab weather....we shouldn't be surprised though, it is Summer after all ;-)
I had a great day on Saturday at Newbury Racecourse, with my lovely cyber-friend, Elaine (Elaine and I met on facebook, and meet up whenever we can, along with our 'partners in crime' Joan and Janet )...it was the Artstamps Exhibition......we spent loads of money on stamps, stencils & inks etc. now I just need to find time to use it all.
We said hello to Tracey & Kev from Lavinia Stamps and Lucy from Sweet Poppy Stencils, and of couse bought loads from their stands ;-)
Anyway todays cards were made to show that you don't need to have thousands of Lavinia stamps to join in with the challenges. Clean and Simple cards can be made with one or two stamps, as you can see here.



All cardstock from 
coloured with Pan Pastels
Sentiment - Sheena Douglas
Foliage Stamps - LAVINIA STAMPS




This card uses just ONE  Lavinia stamp, 
Creeping vine, 






Last but not least, this card is made using the Fuchsia  
The gorgeous inked background is made with Colour Chemistry Inks from 
I love all the new colours, they're so vivid....watch this space, lots more samples for OHS coming soon!



Well, that's it for today....don't forget to pop over to Lavinia Stamps Challenge Blog - HERE and enter the challenge....the prize is a whopping £40 to spend on Lavinia stamps!
Please leave a comment if you've enjoyed looking xx
