CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND Challenge - Mid month Inspiration

Hi everyone

Today sees the half way mark for the Challenge at CCAYR, which is entitled 'Non Traditional Colours. Well I have been so inspired recently by a lovely Envelope full of tags which Rebecca at http://www.paperprimrose.com/ made recently that I am totally hooked on this, but I actually make them in the form of a card.  You will be seeing more of these from me, believe me I am totally hooked!  They will be coming in different colours, and all shapes and sizes! Haha - Hey I am not joking!  The tags of course are detachable.

FUSSY & FANCY CHALLENGE - It's All About Girls

Hi everyone,

I am delighted to be back with a Design Team card to share which I made for the Challenge at  Fussy and Fancy     

WENDY  is hosting this Challenge, the  theme is entitled  'It's All  About Girls'. and we are sponsored by   Fresh Brewed Designs

All about the Girls?  What a lovely theme.  I sat thinking, 'What shall I make? Images, Girly ideas were going through my mind, eg fashion, clothes, shoes, frillies, fancies, oh dear the sky is the limit. Finally I narrowed it down and settled on trying a girly bag so this is where my inspiration led me.  I made amuch smaller version in the form of a matching gift card too. I carried the design tot he inside of the cards too.  

I cannot take all the credit for this idea as I was also inspired by a lovely creation that Joann
 made some time ago.  Thanks for the inspiration Joann.

CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND JULY

Hi everyone

Today sees the start of a new Challenge at CCAYR, which is entitled 'Non-Traditional Colours'.  I must admit I am a bit out of my comfort zone with non-Traditional colours.  I love the deep reds and deep greens for Christmas.  So I rummaged through my stash and found these pretty lilac papers and this is the result - one little four inch cards and co-ordinating tag.  The card is criss cross style front and has a detachable insert.  Have you ever made these little four inchers I wonder?  I love making these and they are so useful come Christmas.

Do pop over to the Challenge Blog at CCAYR,  and take a look at the talented Design Team's  lovely creations.  I do hope you can join in with this lovely Challenge. 

Thank you so much for looking,

PLENTY OF LAYERS

Hi everyone

I am here tonight to share a card I made a little while ago.  This one features one of my magnolia Tilda stamped images which I have coloured with Copics.  I went for a bright and cheerful look here.  I really enjoy making a card from my stash and this is just what I did here.

Well, I have been going through my Tilda stamps today.  There are such a lot I do not use now, in fact Tilda seems to have got forgotten about.  So I have had a little clearout.  I now have a whopping 17 stamps for sale on EBay.  My EBay name is Spritzer5555, and there is a link on my sidebar.

 I would like to enter this into the Challenge at Bunny Zoe Crafts Challenge - Layers

I hope you have all had a great weekend.

Thanks for looking,
