Second Blueprint Birthday Card

  Good Morning!

I'm back today with a second card using another design from the same set, this time the card is for my Dad's birthday on Tuesday. I dug out some old design papers from my stash and finished the card off with some matte doodlebug sprinkles.

PBSC Midway Reminder Post

   Good Morning!
I don't usually join in with the midway reminder post for the PBSC challenges, but recently I haven't done any crafting and when I saw this old stamp that I had the urge to ink it up. So I did! Every month we always have the Anything Goes option with our challenges and this is what I've played along with for my card. However the other theme that you can play along with over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE is 'Anything Goes or Paper Piecing!'

Blueprint Birthday Card

  Good Morning!
Today I am sharing with you a card that I made earlier in the week for my partner's birthday. He turned 30 on Thursday and I was struggling to think of what I could use for the main focus on the card, then I remembered I have the Birthday Blueprints set by Tim Holtz and I thought they would work perfectly!
The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and I thought the style of the text worked well with the stamped image.

Creative Inspirations - January & February Challenge!

 Good Morning!

We've had a little shake up over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS this month as for the next few month's the challenges have been extended a little bit. This means that this month's challenge is also extended throughout the month of February too! 
The new challenge is called 'Animal Antics!'

I'm still having issues taking photographs of my cards. I must've taken over 20 different shots of this card with 2 different cameras but the finished edits still have a warm glow to them which is driving me mad. I've ordered a new Daylight lamp so we'l see if that helps but if not .. then I give up! haha I'm just getting fed up of working so hard on my cards only to hate the way they look when I go to blog them! Grrrr.
