Creative inspirations

This weeks Creative Inspiration challenge was somewhat daunting, no image, just sentiment, but that made it all the more interesting to do. This is what I came up with...

Font: Prima Print

Paper: Anthologie Diamond

Flowers: WHsmiths

everything else from my ever growing stash.

Hope you like :)

Colour Create Challenge

I was asked to make 2 cards for my Mums friends at work, this one I did for the Colour Create Challenge YOUR CHOICE OF PASTELS I chose pink, green, turquiose and a little bit of purple.

Im quite pleased with it. I wanted to make something special as its for her Mums 60th, but I think maybe I could have done better!

I used plain paper, card and lovely lovely ribbons and bows from my stash and gorgeous patterned paper from K&Co Sparkly Sweet and Papermania Sweet Nothings.

Im off now to go create more some wonders :) I am inspired today.

Busy hands

Here are a few of the things I have been keeping myself busy with for the past week.

I liked the purple ones so much I made the same in green. I think the lay out was from a sketch from Mojo Monday, but I was too slow in finding my camera so missed my chance to enter, oops! I need to get a move on posting for this weeks challenge or Ill miss it again.

You cant see the text very well, it says Santa Claus is coming to town.

I love these, but they werent for a challenge. The text simply says CHRISTMAS in sparkly letters, we all need a bit of sparkle sometimes.

and finally some beautiful twinkly blue stars, again not for a challenge, but I like these so I thought I would post them. Hope you like them too.

Allsorts

This is my very first entry for a blogging competition, its for the weeks allsorts challenge. Its a birthday card for my brother (hes hitting the big 3.0! Haha). This was quite a challenge for me, not only did I have this fab sketch to follow

But somewhere in the design I had to include a torn edge!!!! I love clean straight lines and can often be heard saying "O no its gone all wonkey!" and getting myself in a tizz when Im creating. But actually I found it quite freeing and will definitly be including some torn edges in my future cards and collages.

Enough jacking heres the card.

I was kind of cheep making this one, Im blushing just typing it, but....

The white card and purple paper (around the photo and across the card) are from WH Smith, own range.

The Stripped paper is Lilac Boutique Stripe from Doodlebug Design,

The blue stripe across the page are from Kit 'N Kraft from the summer collection, The lettering (I think) is from Papermania - I dont have any more info as I have thrown away the packaging for it and had to look them up online.

The gems are definitley Papermania.

Finally the image in the centre is not available in any shop, its a photo of my beloved cat Alfie, which I took myself.

I hope he enjoys recieving it as much as I enjoyed making it. I look forward to completing my next blogger challenge, there are so many great ones to try.
