Cafe Culture

Not much blogging recently (or crafting for that matter) as I have been busy with work and family.  However, I have had time to go through my stamps in an attempt to organise my craft room.  I found a wooden stamp which I bought from Hobby Craft about 2 years ago.  I did use it once when I first bought it but as I was very new to colouring it didn't turn out very well so gave up on it.  So, I got out the Pro Markers last week and made 2 birthday cards with it.


I used a backing paper given free with a magazine andsome embossed white paperwhich again I found.  I think I borrowed the embossing folder from my friend Anne and I'm afraid I can't remember the name of the folder.  I really must begin to make a note of what I do when I do it!!  At least I have used up bits and pieces of paper just lying around!  





The backing paper on this one belong to a set of free papers in a magazine a few months ago (again I found this while organising my room). 

I do love this image - it makes me wish I was the lady, just done some shopping and sat outside a cafe, drinking coffee and watching the world go by.
