Hello stampers and happy Wednesday to you. Today I am sharing some cheerful crushed curry cards. For those of you who are not familiar with Stampin’Up! our colours for ink pads and card stock are often two words starting with the same letter and also seem to refer to food! Crushed Curry is a deep shade of yellow and one which all of my grandchildren seem to wear beautifully. Unfortunately this colour looks like death on me!

Laura Lowe’s Card

Laura just happens to be engaged to my son and will soon be my daughter-in-law. She is a very lovely and very creative girl and I am thrilled that she loves stamping as much as I do! Laura was a big help to me in creating the #kitsforkids. Her favourite colour just happens to be yellow, so she made this monochromatic card for me. Laura comes from Annapolis Royal in Nova Scotia but she lives in London where she and Oliver just got the keys to their new house!

Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia

This beautiful village has a claim to fame as the cradle of our country. It was first inhabited by European settlers in 1605. You can read all about it on this website and see some awesome videos as well. We were hoping to celebrate Oliver and Laura’s wedding there on September 26 and are still hoping that this can happen!

This last picture is the Queen Anne Inn where I was hoping to stay with Gerard at the end of September. It’s nice to dream isn’t it?

Linda Atkin’s Card

Linda comes from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and she found me on YouTube. That makes me so happy! It is wonderful to connect with people all over the world through social media. My presence on YouTube is amateur at best. I just thought I would share my Facebook live videos there so that I could reach a different audience and it looks like it is working. I’m so happy that you sent me this cheerful crushed curry card!

I am not sure which stamp set this is but I can see that Linda used the stitched shape dies and crushed curry blends. If you know which stamp sets they are, feel free to leave a comment below. Here is another blog post that features the beautiful colour, crushed curry. This blog post also has a link to another post that tells you the story of Gerard and me!

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Pittsburgh is known as the Steel City and also as the City of Bridges and is now also known as a leader in the health care sector. It was named in 1758 in honour of British statesman William Pitt. Interesting trivial tidbit, we had a William Pitt hotel in Chatham last century as well! Here is their tourism website if you want to see what there is to do in this beautiful city.
