This challenge -   
ANYTHING GOES with optional twist INLAID DIE CUT
This is my inspiration project for you.
Hope this will give you lots of inspiration.
I started off with a 5.5x5.5 base card.
I layered the front and inside with paper from the ENGLISH GARDEN paper pad
from CRAFT CONSORTIUM
I die cut the 'inlaid die cut' using a die from my stash.
Pretty butterflies and flowers.
I stamped a 'thinking of you' sentiment and die cut it with a banner die.
Finally I placed a blue self adhesive pearl in each corner.
Hope you like what I did and it will inspire you to join in with our challenge.
Remember its an 'Anything Goes' challenge and the 'twist' is always optional.
Thank you for stopping by today!
I sure appreciate all your visits.

Happy crafting!

Hello lovely people!
We have a new challenge starting today over at
The theme for this challenge is....
CHILDS PLAY
Remember to visit us again for our half-way post from Team 2 on 19th of the month. 
This is my DT inspiration for you this time around.
A simple card this time around.
I used a 5.5 square base card and layered the front with a patterened paper - 5-3/8inch square.
I used a baby print paper pad in my stash and cut out elements from it, such a stags and circles. I die cut a stitched circle and put a self-adhesive rocking horse picture in the centre and put on the card using foam tape. 

Hope you like it and I hope you will join our challenge.
Happy crafting!

SHEEPSKI DESIGNS BLOG CHALLENGE #5 - FEATURE A CREATURE

Well here we are with Challenge #5 for.....
SHEEPSKI DESIGNS BLOG CHALLENGES
The theme for this challenge is....
FEATURE A CREATURE
You can read the rules....
HERE
So here is my DT inspiration for you!
I used Andrea's image 'ROCKET & ROSIE'
You can purchase it
HERE
This is such a cute image and so easy to colour.
I coloured the image with Copics and made the grass and what are supposed to be flowers lol.
I die cut around the image using a 'stitched circle' die. I placed it on top of a pretty patterned paer I layered on the fron of the card. Lastly I stamped a sentiment and cut it out using a 'banner' die.
I used foam tape on the image topper and sentiment banner to give them some dimension.
  I hope you like what I did with the image and it will give you some inspiration.
Thank you for visiting today.

Happy crafting!!
