Crafts Galore Encore - August Challenge

Hello everyone,

I'm very excited to share with you my first creation for the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge.  I am a member of the Design Team, woo hoo!

This month our challenge is "Anything Goes" and is sponsored by Sherri Baldi.  Our winner will win 3 digital images of your choice from the following selection:

This is my card using one of Sherri's images.  These girls were really fun to colour, and I loved busting out my Promarkers.  I haven't done so for a while!

If you would like to find out more about Sherri's digital images, you can see her Etsy shop here or her website here.

Hope you have fun entering our "Anything Goes" challenge this month, I look forward to seeing your entries!

I'm also going to enter this card into this week's Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge.

Love Hannah x

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Sparkle and Shine

Hi there,

It is almost Wednesday already which means it is time to share my entry for this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.  This week's theme was 'Sparkle and Shine' showcasing Pretty Pink Posh products if you have them.  Unfortunately I do not, so I just went with what I've got in my stash!

I decided to make this card to send to one of my dear friends who is going to be 31 tomorrow.  We used to go to school together, and I cannot believe how quickly that time has gone.  I do not feel 31 and I am pretty sure she does not either!

I used my Clearly Besotted 'Make a Wish' dies to cut out the balloons from GSilk Luxury Glitter paper.  This paper is fantastic - comes in all sorts of different colours and the glitter doesn't rub off. It's beautiful!  The sentiment stamp is from Simon Says Stamp.

See you soon with another card!  Am excited to see what next week's theme will be.

I also need to get working on sending my cards to Kristina Werner's Mail Call - think I have missed July's one by now, so August it is!

Love Hannah x

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Get in Shape

This is my entry for the SSS Wednesday Challenge Blog.  This week the challenge is "Get in Shape" (showcasing Lawn Fawn products) - meaning no square or rectangular cards allowed!

This card is a first for me for three reasons:

a) I always make square or rectangular cards, so a shaped card is a real novelty
b) I have never entered a challenge blog, so I really enjoyed stretching my creative muscles
c) I haven't used this particular stamp set before despite having it in my stash for ages!

Anyway, this is what I came up with:

What do you think?  I think this would also look quite pretty in pastel colours too.

Love Hannah x

Ps. Thought I'd share this picture of Henry "helping" me stick on my embellishments with Glossy Accents - luckily the lid was still on!
