It's Release Day at Spesch Stamps

  
Hi Everyone

It's time for another release at Spesch Designer Stamps.   There are four stamps in this release, they all feature Penny and have been designed by the talented Christina. 

For my first card I used Penny Shopping.

She looks as if she's had a great day shopping!!!!

I coloured her using my Promarkers.   The papers, ribbon and flowers are from my stash.  I thought the bag charm was a perfect finishing touch.

For my second card I used Powersuit Penny.  She's perfect for those "New Job" cards.

Again, I coloured her with my Promarkers and I think she looks great in her black and red suit!

The papers are from My Minds Eye and the flowers, ribbon and pins are from my stash.

Hop on over to The Spesch Designer Stamps Blog to see the other stamps in this collection and don't forget to stop by the other Design Team Members Blogs for more inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by today.

WOYWW - 06.10.10

   
Hi

I've not shown my desk for a couple of weeks.

I really need to have a good sort out and get rid!!!!  I made a start, but I've not had the time to finish it.  I've been soooooo busy at work and then busy with DT commitments when I get home.  I really must get on and finish off my sorting as I want to see my beautiful desk again and I'm a bit fed up working on the dining table!!!!

Anyway here it is today: 


I'm deeply ashamed!!!!


And I snapped this cute picture this morning - William and Thomas really are the best of friends.

Thanks for stopping by.  Make sure you hop on over to Julia's Blog and visit some more of us WOYWWers - have fun!!!!
