Crafty Creations “Arrow” Challenge

New challenge over at Crafty Creations and this week we are challenging you to:

 

Add an Arrow 

 

I do not know about you but it is definitely a challenge that has me wondering what to create.

 

The layout of my card was inspired by the current sketch challenge at Fusion Challenges and with this layout I have used two retired stamp sets, Party This Way and Perfect Punches.

 

I have used some bright colours which were inspired by the DSP I had in my stash.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

and here is the sketch from the Fusion Challenge:

 

 

The ribbon and pearls were last minute items but I like how work together/

Finally another post & challenge

Hi everyone,

 

I haven’t had a chance to send a post for a while as I have been to the Stampin’ Up! Convention in Melbourne and it was GREAT!

 

Had a wonderful time, met so many crafty people, exchanged ideas and it was so worth travelling to Melbourne and experiencing the cold and wet but I must say I also got to see my Sister and her family which was an added bonus :)

 

As you know, you then come back home you get back into routines work, school, life in general but along the way unfortunately pick up a cold.

 

So I was not feeling the best over the weekend but I am much better now and back on board.

 

Now on to my card creation…..

 

I have used the colour challenge from Just Add Ink and the sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary:

 

 

 

I have used Baja Breeze for the base of my card and I have created a card for Child’s Birthday.  It is my youngest niece’s birthday next month so I think I will give this card to her.

 

I have used the Fox & Friends, Party This Way & On Your Birthday stamp sets as well as some of the texture embossing folders in the Big Shot.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Fox & Friends, Party This Way, On Your Birthday

Card: Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz, Perfect Plum, Whisper White
Ink: Certainly Pear Pizzazz, Perfect Plum

Accessories:  Textured Square Lattice & Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folders, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Word Window Punch, 1” (2.5 cm) Circle Medium Punch, 1-3/8” (3.5 cm) Circle Large Punch, 3/8” (1 cm) Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, 1/2” (1.3 cm) Pear Pizzazz Stitched-Poly Ribbon, Mat Pack for Paper Piercing, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

This was an unusual sketch but this is why you call them challenges!

 

In the end I think both the sketch and the colours have worked well together and I am sure my niece will enjoy this card for her 4th Birthday.

 

Until next time…. Meg x

Let’s Celebrate

Hi everyone, it’s Friday night and the weekend is here  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This past week has been a little crazy but that’s ok, these little things help keep you focused and grounded.

 

 

 

 

I have created a card for the Sketch Challenge at Frenzy Friday – the sketch number is SFF030411.  This is the sketch and you can visit Sketch Frenzy Friday’s site if you click here.

 

 

 

 

 

I have used the Party This Way stamp set and the co-ordinating DSP Celebrations.

 

The Celebrations DSP contains the lovely bright colours of Pacific Point, Real Read mixed with some milder tones of Pear Pizzazz and Bashful Blue.

 

I have create the card as close to the sketch as I can and I think it’s a very happy card to give someone for their birthday.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Party This Way, On Your Birthday

Card: Real Red, Pacific Point, Whisper White
Ink: Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  1” (2.5 cm) Circle Medium Punch, Clip Assortment, 1/2” (1.3 cm) Pear Pizzazz Stitched Poly Ribbon, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

Unfortunately you may not be able to see clearly the basic rhinestones on the little traffic light which have caught the glare of the camera but they look good in real life!

 

I am happy with this little creation – what do you think?

 

Enjoy your weekend…… Meg x
