Give me wings

Hello blog friends, it's a bright and sunny Sunday morning here and I've had some inspiration after my little check of the blogs I follow.  I was inpsired by Less is More, although I struggle with the whole CAS concept and keep wanting to add detail, this week Chrissy and Manda are challenging us to use Diecuts and Punches.

I've recently added some new dies to my collection.  I see it as an investment in tools and I always try to ensure that the ones I purchase are ones that I will get a lot of use out of, not just use ones and leave in my folder.  I've used a Marianne Craftable butterfly here along with some Nesties for the lable.

Flutter By Wednesday is Anything with Wings and of course I love linking up to Make It Monday where the challenge is open and you can even link to previous posts that you did but want to feature again.

I've used some paper I made ages ago with the Shaving Cream techinque.  Island Indigo and Wisteria Wonder card from SU and some gorgeous white pearlised card.  And of course bling in the form of pearls.

Thanks for stopping by.  I'm off to the craft room again, I found some more inspiration!

Cheers,

Oh My

I was blog surfing and had a little look see at what my lovely blog friend Andrea had been up to lately,  Oh MY is all I can say.....her blog led me to the Amazing Grace's blog and this amazingly talented lady has some incredible tutorials available for free.  Such a generous spirit to not ask for one single cent, Grace shares her talent free of charge and is just like her name.

I used her tutorial to create this card,  The white scalloped background is made using only a corner punch.  You really have to try this it's such fun, as this was the very first one I made, it's just slightly wonky!  I'm off to practice!  In the meantime, this card is for two challenges. 

Monique, if you're reading this....check it out girlfriend....I've used Lucky Limeade!!!

Opps sorry I've just realised my sentiment is slightly wonky as well.....*sigh* that's what you get when you're rushing to finish a card and cook diner at the same time!

Challenge Time!

It feels pretty good to be back participating in challenges aside from my DT work for the Friday Mashup.  Here is a creation that I really struggled with, why? you might well ask, but me and CAS designs don't go well together at all!  It's all anguish and resisting the urge to embellish more!

This card is for the following challenges

SU Only  - Get Well

Less is More - Buttons and Bows

Picture Perfect Creations - # 66 - Night of Navy, Crumb Cake and Whipser White

White on White

How hard is it to do white on white?  No colour to add that pizzazz.....well here is my effort for the Less is More challenge.

I choose not to put text on the front letting the card be used for whatever occasion crops up where it suits and my message will go inside.  This card also celebrates Butterflies, for those of you who stop by regularly, you'll know I celebrate them all the time!  however SU Only has Celebrate Butterflies as their challenge.

SU Only ~ # 18 In Celebration of Butterflies

Wedding Card

In honour of Wills & Kate getting married, Easy Craft Projects challenge this week is to make a card inspired by the Royal Wedding.  I'd already made one wedding card  for the  Friday Mashup this week, in case you hadn't heard I made it to the design team over there! 

Anyway back to the post, I'd also posted a Mother's Day card with a difference this morning so decided to make this wedding card along the same lines.

Because the front panel is very simple, I hope it also qualifies for Less is More and Crafty Creations challenges as well.

and here it is opened

So this card goes into the following challenges, although the inside may not quite qualify for Less is More or White Space!  the outside does...LOL

Less is More ~ Week 13 Lucky Dip - Congratulations or Thank you Card.

Crafty Creations ~ Challenge 116 - White Space

Off Centre

Now some people who know me will probably say it's me that's a bit off centre!  However I made a phone call this afternoon to my lovely downline Monique, she is in Canberra and I really feel like I deserted her when I had to relocate over 3,000 klms away to be closer to family, but we stay in touch via blogs, email and phone calls. 

During our lovely long phone call, Monique and I were sharing some of our favourite Challenge sites and Monique put me in touch with Less is More.  I was quite taken with their 'Off Centre' challenge so I went straight off to my desk and came up with this.
