I am still alive!

It's just that my inspiration seems to have flown out the window. I spent a good few hours this weekend going through my stash trying to make some cards but I just didn't get any inspiration. I did however, take advantage of the Whiff of Joy's Mother's Day special (20% off) and bought a couple of new stamps so fingers crossed I'll have some new cards for you all next week.

Mint Ice Cream - Grass, Apple and Meadow Green
Wafer - Caramel, Tan and Vanilla
