Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Basic Pearls, Dazzling Diamonds, Silver Rhinestones, Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon
Tools: Big Shot, Modern Label Punch, Itty Bitty Punch

As many of you will know, I am back home after my amazing trip to the USA. But what some of you may not know, is that I was proposed to by Brett on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. What a romantic man I have and such a wonderful surprise! As you can imagine, I've been on cloud nine.

Unfortunately, blogging has taken a back seat as I'm also back at work and it's as hectic as ever. I will endeavour to rectify that as soon as I can, so please bear with me. 

Have a great week everyone!

Mosaic Madness...

Here's another swap I received a while ago - from the wonderfully talented Denise Ibbett. I've got this set Mosaic Madness with the coordinating punch, but am yet to use it {I know, I know.... I need to stop buying new product and use what I've got}. Don't these colours look fabulous together!

Stamp set: Mosaic Madness, Itty Bitty Banners
Card: Whisper White, Calypso Coral
Ink: Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe
Accessories: White Simply Pressed Clay and Moulds
Tools: Big Shot, Modern Mosaic EF, Itty Bitty Framelits

I'm currently in San Francisco where we've been since Sunday (Monday for you because San Fran is 19 hours behind New Zealand). I'm hoping that we're going to get to watch an America's Cup race live, which would be awesome!
