Happy 3rd Anniversary FUSION...

So happy to be joined by my guest designer, Christine Drogt, for this fortnights 3rd anniversary celebration at FUSION. Christine and I started our card design journey at around the same time, back in 2011. I have always loved her fabulous use of colour and her inspirational videos - especially considering English is not her native tongue! With this gorgeous sketch and winter inspiration photo, I immediately thought of Christine with her gorgeous pops of colour and fabulous range of products she has designed for her online store Create a Smile. 

Christine super kindly offered a fabulous 25 euro prize or her online store Create a Smile for one randomly selected FUSION entry, so there is even more motivation to join in the celebrations!

Remember you can choose to be inspired by just the sketch or inspiration photo, or combine both, as I have this fortnight. Featuring this gorgeous little Create a Smile woodland critter paper pieced in woodgrain patterned paper and stamped winter scarf on glitter foam sheet. The cute "warm fuzzies" sentiment is also from Create a Smile. Paired with this gorgeous "Wishing You" sentiment and heart balloon also stamped onto glitter foam sheet, both from Winnie and Walter.

So hope you can join in the fun this fortnight @ FUSION. 

Can not wait to see how you are inspired!

Lucky Days FUSION

This fortnights FUSION challenge is filled with the luck of the Irish, so I thought I'd celebrate around the world! I thought it was super fitting too seeing as we will be heading off around the other side of the world in a few weeks, to join DD on exchange in Paris.

Created using the gorgeous (and Never Been Used Schtuff) Neat and Tangled Origami Map die cut and stamps, paired with these super cute Create a Stamp Crystal Letters alphabet stamps. Both the map and letters were stamped in white ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder, over watercolour backgrounds created using Twinkling H2Os, with added shimmer and a wooden frame, picking up on the textural elements from the inspiration photo.

This month we are also luck enough to be joined by special Guest Designer, Kate Lorenzini of Pinned and Penned, so make sure you stop by for some extra fabulous inspiration from Kate and the team!
