Hi Bear, a Little Freshly Made Card Concept...


Just popping by with a quick card for Little Tangles Hello Challenge, and play along with the inaugural The Card Concept Colour Challenge using this fab sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  Thought "Hi bear" was a cute substitute for "hi there". I used the chalkboard technique for this Clean and Simple card, stamping with Versamark Watermark then white embossing powder, using three fabulous sets from Neat and Tangled with Little Bear bear, paw prints and "bear" sentiment, A Lot to Say speech bubble, and Just Hello "hi" sentiment.

Hello Beautiful...


Playing along this week with Little Tangles Saying Hello Challenge, celebrating the new Little Tangles DT, and MUSE Challenge, with a gorgeous sunny card by Laurie, and Little Red Wagon All Purpose Card Challenge too.

This card combines five of the fabulous sets by Neat & Tangled, although you have to look pretty close to see the Little Tangles zig zags stamped in yellow behind the bottom two clouds - I was trying to go for subtle - but maybe yellow ink on kraft is a bit too subtle LOL! The sun is created by stamping Sunburst and Everyday Circles "Hello" in Momento Luxe Dandelion, and the white clouds were created using Just Thinking of You stamped in Hero Arts Soft Pool, and Fresh Blooms "Hello Beautiful" sentiment. The matching teal cloud is from Amy Tangerine's chipboard collection, and the kraft cardstock base was highlighted using Lil Inker Stitched Squares.

Neat & Tangled have a new DT call on at the moment too - they have a FAB collection of unique images, and sequins!!! and owner Danielle is just delightful - so get your skates on and give it a go - you never know!!!

2013 in Review... these are a few of my FAVOURITE things...

OK, maybe more than a few... Looking back, 2013 was an amazing crafty year for me, with almost 250 cards created, so I hope you will bear with me when my favourite creations for the year top 30 LOL!  I've included my favourite wall art and scrapbooking too.

I was so excited to have been invited to join the inaugural FUSION and 10 Minute Craft Dash Design Teams, and as Guest Designer for Paper Smooches, CAS(E) this Sketch, Little Tangles, Keep It Simple and part of Christine's Das Kartenchaos Advent Calendar. Had a ball being part of the Lawnscaping Winter Blog Hop and DeNami Designs Razzle Dazzle Blog Hop too!

 I'd LOVE to see your favourites for 2013 :)
You can like them up with Catered Crop Remembering 2013 and

Happy New FUSION...

FABULOUS New Year to one & all, with a new team and new day for the FUSION Challenge!! This fortnight I thought I'd get a head start on scrapbooking for 2014, perhaps I'll make some headway with the 30,000 or so photos I have LOL! 

Inspired by the colours, shapes, layers and textures of the FUSION inspiration photo. Combining Scenic Route chipboard words, Jillybean corrugated alphas, Cosmo Cricket, Scenic Route and Sassafras Lass papers, Martha Stewart decorative punches and a truckload of Prima flowers and butterflies.  

We'd LOVE you to join in the fun...

How to play:
1. Play with just the sketch challenge.
2. Play with just the inspiration photo challenge.
3. Or you can create FUSION by combining BOTH challenges into one card.
4. Use the challenge graphic and link back to Fusion in your post.
5. Please read the other considerations on the Rules Page before playing along.
