Happy Birthday…

Hello again! I love that I am managing to post so frequently lately. I miss blogging when I haven’t been here for a little while!

Have you heard of the new(ish) company called Carta Bella? Beautiful… I bought a few things from the Beautiful Moments collection, because I just couldn’t resist them.

I picked up a 6×6 pad – I am finding it harder and harder to resist these – and then the difficult decision was which pattern to use first. I couldn’t decide. And it was even harder, because these pads are double sided!

Then I knew what to do… put as many of them on a card as I could possibly squeeze on there…

I think one of my favourite things about this collection is the hit of yellow with all those beautiful shades of rose. It just pops, and I love it.

On a non-paper note… I spent part of earlier this evening with some long lost friends – my paints! As I mentioned yesterday, we’re doing a bathroom reno, and it will leave us with a blank wall. I thought it was a good opportunity to re-visit an old hobby – and I am trying a completely new style. It’s so relaxing and somewhat cathartic to just get lost in your paints. Don’t worry, I’ll share when it’s done! *wink*
