Some inspiration & ideas!

This week on 1 October 2011 was World Card Making Day.  I kind of missed it :( being busy with everything else, but I thought I would show you the beautiful cards made by Stampin' Up! which they shared on their Facebook page.

If you’re looking for another way to use the Sweet Centers stamp set without using Treat Cups, here you go! I love hot air balloons and this one super simple to make using the 2 ½” Circle punch and some Designer Series Paper. The bright color combo inspired by the Big Top Suite radiates happiness!
