Nature's Beauty - all creatures great and small

Our July challenge at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

is up and running and the theme is

All Creatures Great and Small!

We are sponsored by

For the challenge I have made my first Christmas card of the year!

I love the Nature's Beauty stamp set which has 3 animals

and a variety of trees, twigs, grass and even snow stamps in there.

I stamped the deer first, masked him off, then build my scene around him.

The bushes in front of him were stamped in versamark

and white embossed.

I finished the card with a sentiment from Winter Woods

and some matching ribbon.

I hope you get time to joins in and be sure and check

out the inspiration from the very talented design team HERE

Funfold Friday - dressed to impress

For my VIP Funfold Friday card

I have made a double easel.

Another new one for me. I have made easel cards before

but never one with a double front.

Isn't it great to challenge your brain though!

I love the combination of magenta madness and misty moonlight

on this card. It works so well together

to give that funky denim and pink look.

The stamp set is Dressed to Impress which is perfect

for girlie cards.

Scrapbook Thursday

It's Tom's June page and the photo I have

is of him doing his home school work.

Again I have used retired papers and followed the layout over at

Let's Get Sketchy

I found an old box of stamps from QVC (so long ago)

and one set was for school so I used that to fill in the white background.

I also found an old paper pack from Paper Pazzazz

and used the word plates and alphabets from that.

Pretty Scrap Paper Caddy

My tutorial today shows how I made

these cute desk tidies for my scrap paper.

I had gathered up a lot of white paper scraps which lay around

the place so decided to tidy them up!

I do use a lot of scrap paper for scribbling my measurements on

so it was nice to get it sorted and it will be easy to add to.

You can watch my video here

Score short side - 1" both sides
