Well amongst all the school holiday fun and getting ready for retreat in August I have had some time to sit down and create a few cards!! I really haven’t had time in ages to create just for creatings sake that I found my mojo had disappeared….whoosh just gone completely! So I jumped on Keesha’s site to find out what challenge she has going at the moment! Even though she is a million miles away in Canada she doesn’t disappoint!
She had a colour challenge going and check out these colours!! They are my colours if I do say so myself!!
I thought I would challenge myself a little more and try and use some of the stamp sets that are on special at the moment and no doubt haven’t seen ink in a very long time or never!! Can you guess which one has never ever had ink on it!!! Click here to check out which other stamp sets have been discounted this month.
Here is my first card! I wasn’t overly happy with how it turned out which is why i decided to try again….I was really struggling not using the Cottage Wall DSP and cottage garden stamp set!! I lurve them both so much!!
And here is my second card. I have cased the layout (sort of) from Teneale I didn’t have a really nice saying to pop on the oval so I had to work with what I had…..bear in mind it was about half one in the morning as I was stamping this bit! If it was earlier I would have done it again and stamped it a little lower. Again I’m not completely happy with how this turned out but I was really happy to have created something!! Now to just go and enter it into Keesha’s challenge.
So which one do you like best?
I better run as I have 4 kids today and it’s so nice to hear them playing so nicely with each other but no doubt they will start to get hungry very soon.
Have a great day everyone!!

Both of these cards are beautiful, Steph - can’t go wrong with these gorgeous colours, hey? You know what? I like your first one best!! The distressed circle, the Sanded background, and the brads do it for me

They are both gorgeous Steph! But I cannot go past A Rose is a Rose. It has always been one of my faves! Just love it!
