Don't be Square!

Good morning all,

 

I hope this post finds you in good health. Today the schools are on holiday and all of next week because it is Eid Al Adha tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday and end of term.  Where have the last 9 weeks gone?  It only seems like yesterday i was worrying about my little man starting school for the first time and now it's end of term 1 already!  

 

Eid tomorrow means a little shopping spree today to buy some pressies for little man and maybe hubby! Oh, and some scrummy food unless i can persuade hubby to take us out for dinner.

 

Anyway, enough from me, i am really here to tell you about this week's challenge at Charisma Cardz.

 

Its a fun challenge, the theme is DON'T BE SQUARE!!

 

There are two fabulous sponsors too with two fabby prizes.

 

Digi Stamp Boutique are offering one very lucky winner 6 digis of their choice..... awesome!

 

 

Card Mad Fairy's Creations are offering one lucky winner 5 digis of their choice.... fab!

 

 

 

And here is my card. An octagon card base using 'Marco' from the Digi Stamp Boutique. The papers are from Echo Park and the sentiment from my PC. I coloured this cute image with copics.

 

 

It would be great if you could join us in this challenge.  If you pop over to Charisma Cardz you will get lots of fabulous inspiration. 

 

Thank you for visiting today. Will be over to see you all soon.

Good morning all,

I hope you are all well and having a good weekend. 

I am here to tell you about this week's fab challenge over at the 2 Sisters challenge blog.

The theme this week is: Use your favourite stamp (digi or rubber). How cool is that? 

I am sure you will all want to pop over to the 2 Sisters challenge blog and take a peek at the inspiration the DT has created for you.  It would also be fab if you could join us in this week's challenge.  Go on, what are you waiting for? lol  I am looking forward to seeing all your gorgeous stamps.

Whilst there are no sponsors this week, there will still be two winners! The prize? Each winner will be asked to be a Guest Designer for the months of November and December. Yay!

So, onto my project.  I decided to use my 'Dancing Party Tilda' image and as i am currently using an old piece of card to keep my page in my book, i thought now was the time to make myself a bookmark.  What do u think?  You place the ribbon inside the book to keep the page and the embellished part hangs outside.  Obviously, i here you all say!

The white Spellbinders heart die cut has been coloured with spun sugar distress ink so it is actually pink but it looks white in this photo. I made it a bit darker too once i uploaded this photo.  It blends in a bit better now! The butterfly was made using a Tonic punch and was given texture and sparkle using Ranger embossing tinsel (bridal). The paper is from Back to Basics III and the cardstock by Bazzill. The flowers are from Hobbycraft which i tinted using my distress inks. The image is coloured with copics. Ribbon and buttons from my stash!

 

Thank you for visiting today. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

 

Take care.

 

Big hugs,
