This week at Global Design Project the challenge is CASE the Designer (Copy and Selectively Edit) #GDP408. I was immediately inspired by the layout of the card with the flowers around the sides and the greeting in the middle and chose an old stampset ‘Elegantly Said’ by Stampin’ Up! for my card.

This week’s challenge with TGIF Challenges is a Thank You Theme Challenge #tgifc434, the idea is to make someone’s day with a handmade card expressing thanks for something they’ve done or for who they are to you, an unexpected act of kindness.

I picked up on the hexagon shapes and designed my Thank You card from the sketch provided.

I love rainbows! They are very special to me. This week’s theme for the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #rrcb213 is Rainbow Connection.

My card features a rainbow of colourful flowers using a very old stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Flower Shop and a co-ordinating Pansy Punch, that I’ve had for around 10 years.

Back again with a challenge for Color Throwdown ctd756 Green, Orange & Brown.

Water Creatures! That is the theme for the Global Design Project #GDP407 this week, and my crafty stash is quite limited in terms of water creatures. However, one of my favourite sets from Stampin’ Up! is an old one called Wetlands which has the seabird and I combined him with Oceanfront.

This week’s challenge at Just Add Ink #666 is an Inspiration challenge, and I was drawn to the soft colours of the blue, pink and white, and decided to keep it a simple design. The message “Sending a card to say hello” spoke to me too, as I have accumulated so many cards and it’s time I started sending some out 🙂

This week’s challenge with Just Add Ink is a Clean & Simple card. I usually use a fair few layers on my cards, but am enjoying trying new things and embraced this challenge.

I haven’t used this butterfly die very often and I think it fits perfectly for this challenge.
