Creative Inspirations - July Challenge

            Good Morning!
We're back with a brand new challenge over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS!
This month's challenge theme is 'Stars and/or Stripes!'

We have all been lucky enough to use a digi provided by our sponsor The Paper Shelter for our creations this month. They also do coloured versions of each of their designs which is what I've used today, I loved the colour scheme of brown, pink and mint so paired the design with similar tones and added a bit of sparkle!INGREDIENTS -

Lili of the Valley Design Team - Perfect Stripes

 Good Morning!
I'm sharing another Father's Day card today as we're celebrating it today here in the UK. This card is the one that I have made for my Dad, the vintage boy designs by LOTV are perfect for male cards and this time I have used a Simply Print which you can find HERE. I've used a small rectangular base for a change for my card as I wanted to keep most of the focus on the image.INGREDIENTS -
