It is that time of the week again. Kristina's colour inspiration challenge. Absolutely gorgeous colours this week:

Chocolate chip, pumpkin pie, old olive and cool caribbean (baja breeze substitute)

OK, this photo came from Robyn's desk at Kristina's work. I always have a look at the link (seejanework.com), and this site has some fabbo stuff (you should have a look!), my favourite was 'life organisation' (nearly everybody needs this!).

... and I have had this set (SU! pick a petal for yonks), and have not been inspired to use it at all. I have lent it to lots of friends (well, maybe 2) and when I get it back, I just put it back on the shelf. Not this week, I have used it for a birthday card for my Nan (who will be turning 90 this month - go NAN!), and this challenge. Hope you like it ....

Stamps: SU! Pick a petal, PTI polka dot basics and warm words

Card: Cool caribbean, whisper white

Ink: Chocolate chip, old olive, pumpkin pie and cool caribbean
