Something beginning with 'S'

Hello,

It's time for our next challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz - a blog full of inspiration and ideas for male themed projects. This week Helen has chosen the theme

'SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH S'

Here's what I decided on for my DT inspiration ...

I made a 'S'quare card (which is my favourite shape to make) and chose to use the 'S'entiment as the main focal point - this is one of my favourite sentiments for a guy too. I created the text on my pc, printed it out, then added the little tags (which I used my alpha stamps on).

I also added some die-cut 'S'tars which I passed through my dotty embossing folder (although they don't show very well on my photo!)

I hope you will come and join us with your own male themed makes.

Hugz, Jan xx

Christmas for the Girls

Hi there everyone and Happy Halloween,

Wow! This is my fifth day in a row posting - never been done before! Lol. I am definitely liking being at home and trying not to think about next week back at work.

I have a little card to show you today, made for 'Lili's Little Fairies blog challenge' - the theme this week is to make a Christmas card for the Girls.  Well, what better reason to get all my purple stuff out then :)  Here's what I made ...

This one's a 6x6" card blank covered with some pretty lilac snowflake paper from the 'Snowman paper pack', which is mounted onto some lilac card..  I added a piece of lilac organza ribbon across the middle before adding my topper.  The stamped image is LOTV - Twinkling Star and is coloured with Lilac and Amethyst Promarkers.  I added some sparkle to the little stars and snow with a glitter gel pen. The image is mounted on a Fleur de Lys nestie cut from the same lilac card as the background mat.  I die-cut some snowflakes from a piece of scrap and added self adhesive gems/pearl to the centres and finished with a little Christmas sentiment.  A fairly simple little card, but the LOTV stamps never fail to impress every time I use them.

I would also like to enter this card into 'That Craft Place's' challenge which is 'Tic Tac Toe' and I chose the left hand side column - Gems/Sentiment/Ribbon.

Thanx for taking the time to have a peek and enjoy your day, whatever you're doing.

Hugz, Jan xx
