I realise that Christmas is only just over and that it is the first day of 2012.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.

It’s almost time, actually it’s never too late or early, to start thinking about making that special Valentine’s Day card.  The new Spring 2012 Mini Catalogue has lots of lovely things to choose from but one of the stamps that I decided to preview is perfect for that special Valentine’s Day card.

I stamped the image in Pear Pizzazz and then punched it out using one of the new punches featured in Spring 2012 Mini Catalogue. The image was then stamped a second time but this time in Rich Razzelberry and the centre was punched out using the 1 1/2″ circle punch. The message comes from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.

Things are going to be quiet here for a couple of days as I will be travelling but please check back on 4 January, There will be a few more things to see from the new Spring 2012 Mini Catalogue but I will also be taking part in a Blog Hop, which means you will be able to hop on links to other blogs to view ideas and inspiration from lots of other people. I hope you check back then and please feel free to leave comments. I would love to hear from you.
