Free for all!

On the Wee Memories blog, this week's challenge is a free for all ie choose your own inspiration. I was inspired by these papers from Funky Hands (a freebie) and some sentiment circles I have been designing on the PC. Here's my creation:

• A5 white card blank - top hinged


• Papers from Funky Hands


• Sentiment designed by me on the PC and punched


• Ribbon and bling from stash


• Fiskars border punch

Just for fun...

Thought I'd have a go with a card just for fun. Been having a clearout and found a whole load of Dawn Bibby card stock and diecuts so had fun making a quick easel card:

Mojo Monday 211 Sketch

This is the first time I have tried this challenge blog but as I was completely lacking in inspiration, I wanted to follow a sketch:

The colour combination I chose was due to an element that I didn't end up using but I really like what evolved and will use the colours again. Here's the card:

• A5 card (fold at the top) in pale cream


• Papers from Basic Grey and HOTP - from scraps box


• Ribbon from stash - wide brown ribbed


• Chipboard from Sassafras


• Brads and Blooms from stash


• Greeting stamp from Studio G

Pastels & Lace

I really enjoyed making this card, which had the theme of "pastels and lace". I had some vintage lace from a pile of ribbon my mum gave me and layered it up with Basic Grey papers and some glitter stickers.

• Bazzil Cream card blank, 6 x 6"


• Basic Grey papers


• Vintage lace


• Papermania stamp


• Dewdrop ink


• Pack of glittery flower stickers from Back in Time
