Raspberry Ribbons Sketch 12

Today also is the new sketch challenge over at Raspberry Ribbons. All you have to do is use the sketch to create a card or scrapbook page and somewhere use some ribbon. I had great fun with this sketch. To see the sketch and get some inspiration from the DT go to Raspberry Ribbons Blog. And don't forget to check out this months Ribbon Kit.

A very happy new year to everyone and I do hope you all have had a lovely christmas.
One Stop Craft Challenge starts the New Year off with a sketch that you need to add either brads or buttons to. Its a great sketch and the challenge has been set by Shelley. As usual Shelley has got a fab prize for one lucky winner and this week its Mary Anne's Card Quotes from Hot Of The Press. You can see this weeks sketch and all the wonderful creations from the rest of the design team over at One Stop Craft Challenge
I have made a card this week and have used brads down the ribbon and in the top corner.

Raspberry Ribbons Sketch 11

Raspberry Ribbons are now on their 11th sketch and yet again its a great one. I have chosen to do a layout again. With one of my daughters being star player of the week at football last sunday, and being presented with a medal, it had to be all about her this time. Here is my layout.

It is very very simple using two different Ribbons, two pieces of card and photos of the star herself, the medal and the club badge on the football shirt. I have added a few stars as she really is our football star.

I have made a handbag this week

After cutting out the template from plain blue card I cut a slightly smaller one from Juniper Double Sided Scrapbook Paper by Me and My Big Ideas. I have placed a smaller button inside a larger one for the centre of the flower and the same for the handbag flap.

Tag Your IT Challenge

Over at Tag Your It the challenge this week is to make a 'Snowy' tag. This is what I came up with

The tag itself is made from a template from Hot of The Press and the image and words are from a pack of clear value stamps by Dovecraft.
