Dotted Swiss Revival

I (like most other crafty people I know) have always been a be fan of dotted swiss cardstock just because it is so lovely to look at, work with and even say (dotted swiss, dotted swiss, dotted swiss), but over the last few months I just haven't been feeling it so much and I thought my love affair might have reached its logical conclusion.  However, I'm happy to say that that all changed this week and my passion for all things dotty is back with avengence.

This uses up a few bits and bobs from the last few month's GoGo kits which I've been very keen to rip into for a while and I particularly love these letter stamps which are really sweet and under-stated.  I've been trying to stave off the winter gloom with the carnival colours and it was working for a while, but the effects seems to be wearing off a little.  More Mini Eggs are in order I think.

I wasn't so sure what to do with these pictures because they were taken in the basement of a restaurant and so are a little bit dark.  Strangely though, they seemed to fit quite nicely with the gorgeous Cosmo Cricket Eath Love papers which wouldn't have been my natural association.  I'm pleased with how it turned out though so all's well that end's well and I will try not be so closed minded in the future.

I love Cosmo Cricket SO much, maybe even more than dotted swiss (dotted swiss, dotted swiss, dotted swiss) and so I'm keen to get my hands on the new Joy Ride, Material Girl and Garden Variety ranges but am desparately trying to resist untill pay day in the manner of a sensible person.  Being sensible is hard.
