Happy Friyay friends!
Today I’m playing along with the Inspirational challenge – what an inspirational photo challenge!
I’d been planning what to make since I saw the image last weekend but the week has been crazy and I had to make my entry quite quickly this evening to meet the challenge deadline.
I’m not sure I did it justice… it didn’t really turnout as I’d hoped….
Anyway, I used dies by Simon Says Stamp and Poppystamps and a Hero Arts sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
Here I am with my last post of today. This time I’m playing along with the current sketch challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches.
I decided to use the beautiful Mama Elephant Pine and Posy set again. I coloured the images with my Twinkling H2Os and then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I lightly splattered gold paint across the background before adhering the images and stamping a Mama Elephant sentiment to complete my card.
Thank for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
Next up today is what I created for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge
What a fun sketch! Loved seeing all the creative inspiration over at the challenge blog and in the end I decided to use my favourite My Monthly Hero kit. It’s from September 2018 but I didn’t actually buy it until earlier this year – I was so happy to be able to purchase it so many months after it went on sale!
I coloured the little images with my Twinkling H2Os (just look at that shimmer!) before adhering them to an embossed panel. I added a sentiment from Mama Elephant to finish off my card.
Thank for stopping by!

Hello friends!
It’s going to be a busy day on my blog today as I share some cards I made for challenges that all close today!
First up is my entry for the current Memory Box challenge where the theme is ‘falling leaves’. I used the fabulous palette from the Color Throwdown Challenge this week – red, yellow and brown to colour the beautiful Jasper Leave die from Memory Box which I cut in half so that the sentiment didn’t cover the leaves!
I wasn’t too sure about the background so simply added some splatters before adhering the die cut and sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
I’ve been itching to play with the faux metal etching technique that Jennifer McGuire demonstrated a few weeks ago and today was the day! I used some silver matte mirror card and the Simon Says Stamp Brushed Branches background stamp. What a fun technique – but so very difficult to get a decent photo.
I used the sketch from the current Inspire Create Challenges and added a die cut sentiment and leaves (also by Simon Says Stamp).
I’m also entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge where the theme is Autumn.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Once again i’s time for a new challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using just one corner and we have a fabulous seasonal colour palette as our optional twist. Our sponsor is Stamplorations.
I kept it pretty simple again. I stamped and embossed an image from the Picket Fence Studios ‘Wicked Together’ set and then blended some Carved Pumpkin distress ink into the centre of the pumpkin. I masked off the centre of the pumpkin and blended Twisted Citron to create a vibrant background.
My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined by the lovely Sandie – who has some lovely inspiration on her blog!
Hope you can play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by!
