Month: May 2019

InspireInk Bloghop May 2019 Retiring Set – Dragonfly Dreams

So this month’s InspireInk theme is retiring favourites. I have a lot of favourites from last year’s catalogue so it was quite hard to narrow down my choices.

I am sad to say goodbye to this lovely paper – I have gone through several packs of it this year. I have also loved Dragonfly Dreams stamp and die set – dragonflies are amazing insects and so are bees. Although it is hard to say goodbye to some fabulous sets I am really excited to share this year’s Annual Catalogue it is so full of gorgeousness!

Please come back tomorrow to see a method video for this card. Please click below to see what my blog buddies have done – I know there will be some amazing ideas here for you. Please encourage us by leaving us some comments we really appreciate your support.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
