Stampin' For the Weekend - Pearls and Swirls

Morning!!

Hope you're all ready for the weekend.

This morning a new challenge launches over at Stampin' for the Weekend:

We have a fabulous sponsor this time:

They have provided a lovely prize of a ribbon and embellishment bundle - it's fab - I wish I could win it!!

So the theme this week is Pearl and Swirls - and here's my take on the challenge:

I made this a while back for a friends wedding.  I love the swirly paper - it books embossed but its more like a foam.  I've got some bits of it left - and I keep looking at it.  I'm saving it for something special - not sure what that is though.

The image is from Tiddly Inks - I can't remember it's name - but I think it's just beautiful.

Anyway you really should pop over and check out what my teamies have made - there are some beautiful creations!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Whoopsi Daisy - Include a Sentiment
Lollipop Crafts - Anything Goes
Tuesday Throwdown - Hip to be Square
The Paper Shelter - Anything Goes

Thanks for looking!!

Hello,

I have some very exciting news .... I'm now on the the design team for Stampin for the Weekend!!

Yippeee!!  Today is my first challenge with them and the theme is: Monochromatic!

We have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge:

It's ..... Simon Says Stamp - who are very generously offering a voucher of $25. 

And here is my card:

I made this for one of my little girl's best friend - pink and sparkly was the order of the day for her birthday!

The image is from bugaboo, the paper is Gracie Taylor and how lovely is that ballerina charm!  Shame I only had the one - I'll have to keep my eye out for some more.

Anyway - I hope you get chance to stop by and take a look at what the rest of the team have created - there are some fab creations, and perhaps even join in our challenge!

Craft Your Days Away - Olympic Dreams

Morning!!
Has anyone noticed there has been a bit of sport on TV - something called the Olympics?
I couldn't be any less sporty - but I've really been getting into it!

I especially liked the opening ceremony, one of my friends was dancing in the section for the NHS and children's literature, we had hoped to see her but we didn't.

So over at Craft Your Days Away we have our new challenge launching today called Olympic Dreams!

And we have a fabulous sponsor - Bugaboo!!

Here's my card for the challenge - let's just say I had a few technical difficulties making a card!! Which my blog teamies have heard me moaning about - but I'll spare you all the details!

Anyway I really hope you can join us for this challenge, so why not pop over and see what fabulous creations the rest of the girls have made, especially as this is our penultimate challenge. The lovely Joanne has decided to bring Craft Your Day's Away to an end. Sob Sob!!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The Stamping Boutique - Anything Goes
