Usually when I sit down to make a new project I begin with dies or a stamp set that inspires me. However today was quite different as all I had in my mind was a colour, Pale Papaya. This is one of the Stampin’ Up! 2021-2023 In Colors that are due to be retired at the end of April. So with the colour in my head I went looking for something to use it on.

Cottage Rose Relaxation
It may only be Tuesday but it’s already been a long week. The end of the month is always hectic for me, and May has been particularly manic. It definitely feels like my to-do list is beating me.
