My First Blog!

First of all I would like to say thanks for visiting.
So here goes my very first blog AND my first challenge. I chose the Friday Mash Up challenge as I love the autumnal colours.

At a recent training event I used the Magnificent Maple stamp and the Sweater Weather DP so here is what I came up with...


and this is what I used:

Stamps
Magnificent Maple
Banner Greetings (Hostess)

Ink Pads
Crushed Curry
Early Espresso
Tangerine Tango

Paper
Whispa White
Tangerine Tango
Early Espresso
Sweater Weather DP

Accessories
Burlap
Naturals Designer Buttons
Candy Dots (Brights, Neutrals & Regals)
Distressing Tool

Happy Crafting!
