I made a card last night that I was planning on showing tomorrow but to be honest I liked it that much I couldn't wait lol

The card fits into the challenge this week at:

I thought to make my card a bit different I would add the prince inside the card to show what happens after you have kissed the frog :)

UPDATED:
I have updated this post to add my Workdesk for WOYWW.
I have just spent the afternoon re-arranging my desk,
You may notice I have an obsession with Paper Flowers and I have put my Tilda's on the top shelf.
On the desk is a coloured Tilda Image ready to be made into a card.


Don't forget to check the post below for this weeks Creative Inspirations Challenge.

Creative Inspirations - Colour Scheme!

Good Morning!
Before I get started on my card for this weeks CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS Challenge I have a little announcement to make.
Last week I asked someone to join the DT Team over there and thankfully she accepted!
Her work is absolutely stunning so I recommend you pop over for a look.
APRIL ROSE.

Okay so this week at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS we have a colour scheme we would like you all to use.
Please make sure you ONLY use these colours, although you are allowed to add in:
White
Skin / Hair Tone.
It seems a bit daunting at first these colours but they are a lot easier to use in the end!

This fits into the Challenge at:

JUST MAGNOLIA - Sketch


I added the little Tinkerbell stamp inside to carry on the fairy theme.

RECIPE:
Magnolia 'Flying Tilda' & 'Tinkerbell Tilda' Stamps
Basic Grey 'Indian Summer' Papers

A Bit Later Than Usual ... PBSC - Let's Get Punchy!

Good Evening!
Now you may be wondering why my card is later than usual but it's finally done!
For some reason yesterday I totally forgot what day it was and when I did realise I noticed I hadn't any time to get my card done for today before going to the pub lol
I didn't think making it when I got back was a good idea as it probably would've ended up lopsided!

So I have finally got it done this afternoon while feeling slightly worse for wear lol

This week at PBSC the theme is Let's Get Punchy!
Perfect excuse to use my MS Punch lol
We have both some sad and good news this week, il start with the sad.
Unfortunately we are losing Debbie from our team due to personal reasons, we'l all miss her but hopefully one day she will return.
The good news is that this month we have a new Guest Designer!
What makes this even better is that it was my turn to choose someone so I opted for my lovely friend and teamie at Creative Inspirations JANIEL.
Her cards are gorgeous so I can't wait to see what she makes for us!

RECIPE:
PB Stamps & Sentiment
Basic Grey 'Green At Heart' Papers
MS Doily Lace Punch
Flowers from HobbyCraft
Robin's Nest Dew Drops

Thanks for Popping by & I hope you are all having a good weekend! xxx
