Creative Inspirations - December Challenge

             Good Morning!
This month's card is a day late due to the fact I have had the flu for the last few days. I had planned on making this card last weekend but unfortunately I ended up spending all that time in bed :( Not the greatest start to having this week off work so as you can imagine so I'm trying to play catch up with everything now.

This month's challenge over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS is 'Tis the Season!' so it's time to get all of those last minute Christmas cards made. I still have a couple left to do myself.INGREDIENTS -

Penny Black Saturday - November Challenge

      Good Morning!

Yesterday we launched a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE.
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Music!'
I didn't play along with the theme as I needed to make a birthday card and chose to use this floral stamp. It is in fact a Christmas stamp but is versatile enough to be used throughout the year.INGREDIENTS -

Penny Black Saturday - October Challenge

      Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE.
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Too Cute to Spook!'
I haven't played along with the theme this month as I need to bulk up my Christmas card stash. This stamped image is one that I was gifted by a fellow crafter many moons ago so I all I know is that it is one of their much older designs, unfortunately I don't know the name.

Creative Inspirations - October Challenge

           Good Morning!
We're back with a brand new challenge over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS!
This month's challenge theme is super easy, it's 'Autumn/Something Spooky!'
You can choose either of the themes to play along with. I have lot's of Halloween cards in my stash from over the years so I opted for the autumn theme myself. I'm not quite sure why the photo has a red glow, I'm guessing the camera picked up the colour from the papers!

INGREDIENTS - 
'Tip Toe' Digi by All Dressed Up
Maja Design Papers
Paper Doily, Flowers, Ribbon, Dew Drops and Pearls
