Life in the moments (CtS 228)

I was so inspired by the sketch at Case The Sketch #228 that I wanted to try another one:

CAS Colours & Sketches 229

Greetings all

A quick card following the latest sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches (links below):

http://cascoloursandsketches.blogspot.co.za/2017/06/challenge-229-sketch.html

I used the larger tree for the main focus element and then the smaller tree with stamping off as the 2nd and 3rd elements.

Trees & Sentiment:  GinaK Designs

Freshly Made Sketches #293

Here's another kick-starter card I made today using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #293!

Here's the sketch:

I used 3 sized die-cuts (Spellbinders) from matching papers to create the right-hand side decorative area and over-stamped it with a butterfly stamp (after stamping off excess ink) to tie it together.

The sentiment and butterfly stamp is from an old Kit of the Month  "Be your own kind of Beautiful" (1/14) of Unity Stamps.

Be well.

I'm back with CtS #227

After a very, very long time in the desert I am finally back. So much has happened in my life in the past two years it can fill volumes, but the most important thing is, I'm here. I'm back.

To get back into the groove of things I reverted to my favorite CAS challenges and started with Cas(e) this Sketch #227 which is running currently.

Here's the sketch:

I used one of my own images at Digistamps4Joy:  Tea Cups

Also playing with: http://coffeelovingcardmakers.com/2017/06/2017-summer-coffee-lovers-blog-hop/

Be well and God bless!!

DS4J challenge February 2016

Good morning all

It's a beautiful day here in Africa and we're grateful for cooler days here and there. Today it's the start of Digistamps4Joy's February challenge - always Anything Goes but with a twist this month of adding a tag.

I decided to MAKE TAGS with my Flower Frame image:

I will still make an envelopbox or something to put them in to give as a gift. So watch this space.

Have a great day everyone.

DS4J January 2016: Floating lanterns

Hello everyone
I've been away so long this feels like a new venture. But now I'm back with a card for Digistamps4Joy for the January 2016 challenge. It's Anything Goes (with an optional twist of a handmade embellishment).
I'm working out of boxes so had to forego the embellishment, but here's my CAS card using my image, LANTERNS (in the DS4J shop). 

Head over to: http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.co.za/

(Pardon the basic post - had to do it on my phone)

A special scrapbook card

I think many would agree that making a project specifically for someone special is a blessing in itself. I had to make a large card that could hold a number of signatures and well-wishes so this is an A4 card with 3 panels:

Outside

(Die-cut letters, flowers, leaves (all Spellbinders) and some florish. Papers all from Prima)

Open the outside cover and this is inside. 

This opens to reveal the full 3-page spread for signatures and messages

It must go in an envelope! This is HUGE and I used the large floral stamp from Unity KOM June 2013 to stamp around the edge.

I hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for Christmas. May it be a blessed time with family and friends.
