My Favorite Things - Notelet Set

Hello Dies to Die For fans! Today I'd like to share with you a few little, very simple, notelets that I made using the Die-namics Polka Dot Greetings Die and Stamp Set from My Favorite Things. As you can see, I went for very bright and colourful with a palette of pink, turquoise and lime green.

I used Cosmo Cricket 'Delovely' paper which was purchased from Dies to Die For. Can't seem to find it in the store now though, but there are plenty of other lovely Cosmo Cricket papers to choose from - just click on the links below.
 
The colour of this one went a little funky... it is actually the same turquoise as the one above. No idea what happened with the photo, took it a couple of times in different lights, but it just wouldn't take properly. I'd love to be able to fiddle with the colours in my photoeditor, but I have no idea how!


These notelets were super quick to make, but really handy. You always need thank you notelets, right?!

Have a great weekend and make sure you watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony tonight! I was lucky enough to go the the rehersal on Wednesday night and it is amazing!

Rediscovering Miss Anya

Hi all! Well, here I am, a day late for my DT day... a big thanks to Pops for covering for me! Picture the scene..... My card was all made and ready for sharing.....I made myself late for work because I was taking some last minute pictures of it.....I get to work, load up my photo-editor..... reach for my camera..... only to realise I'd left the lead at home! ARGH! Anyway, here I am, a day late, but better late than never, right?!


I really enjoyed making this card. Initially I messed up my colouring on the body. As I'd already coloured her head, I chopped it off (I know, I felt barbaric too!) and stuck it on the body of another Miss Anya in the set. Hey presto, you can't tell the difference :o)

Not only was it a joy to play with Miss Anya again, I also got to stroke some American Crafts papers. Did you know that American Craft now do 6x6 pads?! Well they do and Tracy's got 'em - just follow the linkies below. There is only one work for them.... delish.

Anyway, enjoy the sunshine that we've been promised! It's still a bit murky here in Southampton, but there are signs of hope peaking through :o)
