Jaque's September Challenge

Thought I'd try my hand at Jaque's September challenge and give scrap booking a go. Isn't it amazing that such a simple layout took me so long to do! I obviously have lots more practising to do with scrap booking. It was tricky to find stamp images that would work with the busy geometric designer paper.

I eventually gave up trying to do more on the page and left it simple . ..

The ribbon tag pulls out to read the journalling spot.

Used Urban Oasis designer paper,

Baroque Motif and Great Friend stamp sets,

So Saffron and Whisper White craft inkpad,

chalks on top of the craft ink and

So Saffron ribbon

Penguin Spinner Card

Had to make a birthday card for a 1 year old boy this morning and wanted to have a go at a spinner card. The penguin spins round and round as it moves down the slot.

Used the WILD ABOUT YOU Stampin' Up set which I LOVE for kids! Used Rose Red, Going Gray and Basic Gray as my colour. Not sure about the white ribbon up the side . . . maybe it will grow on me!

I think this works well as boy colours though. I didn't get to see the mum open the present so will have to wait to see what she thought of the card.

Great Friends Matchbox

This is a very cute matchbox shared with me by my upline Heather Stewart. Isn't it pretty!

The one that she did looked like the one on page 5 of the spring mini catalogue except she used the butterly instead of a summer love rub-on.

I changed the hole in the box by using circle punches instead of curly punches. Also added glitter to the butterfly to make it shine!

Was pretty easy to put together.
