Gingerbread Treats

Good morning all,

 

I hope you are all having a good weekend.  Apologies for not posting anything these last few days, life is a bit hectic at the moment, from school activities, DT projects and holiday planning.  Anyway, i am here today to let you know about the new challenge over at the 2 Sisters Challenge blog.

 

This week the theme is: GINGERBREAD TREATS!  We all love gingerbread, right?

 

The sponsor this week is ROBYN'S FETISH and they are offering one lucky winner 5 digis of their choice.

 

 

 

I was delighted to receive this beautiful ' Gingerbread Woman' image from Robyn's Fetish for my card.  You can find her here.  Puts me in the mood for nipping into M&S and stocking up on little gingerbread people.  :D

 

 

Thank you for visiting today.  If you pop on over to the 2 Sisters challenge blog, you can view my DT teamies beautiful inspiration.  It would be great if you joined in with the challenge too.  I look forward to seeing all your yummy projects.

Waterfall card

Good afternoon everyone! 

I hope you are all still enjoying the sunshine and hope you had a great weekend. I have been experimenting in the craft room!  I was actually blog hopping a couple of days ago and saw a waterfall card and was inspired and just knew that i had to have a go myself.  A few pieces of cardstock, some Alla Prima paper, a Hero Arts flower stamp and sentiment, a bit of Tim Holtz distress ink here and there and voila, here is my card. 

It is not the best card design to take photos of.  Obviously, it would be ideal to show you a video of it opening and closing and if i am brave enough, i will upload one later on tonight!  For now, i have a few piccies for you :)

Here it is as i start to pull the tag to open it:

This is it will the tag full entended and the sentiment printed inside on display:

And the tag back in its original position:
