Festive Friday Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my first ever design team post!! I was very very lucky to be able to help out Nicole Derendorf,  with this Festive Friday Challenge!

This time round it was a colour challenge. These were the colours:

And of course, it had to be festive....

This is what I came up with:

I was thrilled to help out Nicole! And it gave my creative juices a massive kick start! That night I cleaned my craft room so I could spend the next 2 days crafting!! Of course, it never takes long to make my space all messy again, but I'm slowly getting my room more organised and user friendly so it makes cleaning up a lot easier and I'm trying to do it more often so there's not so much mess!

Festive Friday Challenge

HI Everyone,

Over the long weekend I had a clean up of my craft room... One of the big changes was to the draw containing all my ribbons and brads/eyelets...

What a mess!!

Oh that's better! lol :)

I can't believe how much room all those rolls of ribbon were taking up! So I wound them all onto squares of card (made the flaps of the SU brown boxes), and placed them in this storage box I bought from Kmart for $10. I have chopped the hinged lid off, as that was only going to get in the way! Big thing for me - I don't normally cut up things I buy but like to keep them as I bought them! However, I couldn't take all my lovely SU ribbons off their rolls.... Did you know I had 2 crochet ribbons - both unopened!! whoops!

Anyway, I was squeezed in some crafting last night including this card for the Festive Friday Challenge #8.

I've been meaning to try this 'frilly' look for ages, so I tried last night with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. I sense a few more cards coming up as I test out all my border punches with this technique! :)

I was inspired by Nicole's card to use my Pennant Punch and co-ordinating Pennant Parade Stamp Set.

Valentine's Day

Hi Everyone,

Can you believe January is going so fast?! It's officially 2 weeks today until my girls return to school.

Today I'm joining in a new challenge called "Festive Friday" by a South Australian Demo called Nicole Derendorf. The first challenge is to create a Valentine's Day card inspired by one of her design team.

My inspiration comes from Nicole herself and reminded me to use that rather neglected Heart to Heart Punch. I combined it with the new Give a Gift stamp and coloured with my markers.
