On Safari...

One of my daughter's friends will be celebrating her 21st birthday in Kenya - wow how lucky is she?  Anyway I was asked to make a special card that suited the holiday.  Being on a lucky streak I won this gorgeous elephant silhouette stamp by Little Claire's Designs.
The designer paper is from a fabulous stack by DCWV and I believe is called Safari or something along those lines.  I love the really warm colours and used chalk on my background to echo the warmth a little.
Even went mad and made the inside a bit special too...

Again the papers were from the DCWV pad and the sentiment was computer generated and printed on to white card.

Challenges...
  • Crafty Hands - Travel
  • Little Claire - lots of layers (hope this counts as all the papers are layered and the stamped image is mat and layered many times.)
Thank you for looking and leaving some amazing comments.
Off to play now.

A Castle for a Princess...


My first project using my Silhouette Cameo - what an amazing machine.  Thought I loved the Cricut, but wow this one gives out some serious competition.  The cutting file is from the Silhouette Store and was so easy to do. I think I may be making a lot of variations  of this kind of card.

Challenges...
Off to do some more cutting out.

More easy peasy cards...

I am just having so much fun with my Forever Friends paper pad and stickers.  So cute and so easy to use.  To create this card I used two sheets of the paper so that I could decoupage the main image.  As usual I printed the sentiment onto acetate which means I don't have to put thick card through the computer and also I can just use up a little scrap of the pink.
Challenges...
and here is my second offering made using the snippets left from my first make!!  My halo is shining big time this week as I'm actually using the snippets up before they even hit the snippets box.


 Have fun whatever you plan to do.
