August Christmas!

This post is coming a little late - my apologies! Here's the lowdown...

The Aud Sentiments Team have set this past week the task of  challenging  you all to make a card or project that isn't a birthday card... yep you heard me! No birthday cards allowed!

Here's your task for the next & last week of this frtonight's challenge:

Anything but a Birthday Card, so it can be any card or project you like - just not a Birthday Card!

(Please don't forget the sentiment!)

Team A had a fantastic array of cards and projects, make sure you check out Team B's efforts too - fantastic as always!

Our sponsor for this challenge is: Stamp Art Design

Daydreaming at Pins...

Last week, I missed the previous Pins DT Challenge as I was away from London for a few days... But I am back for this week's challenge!

I'd like to welcome Marina to our Design Team at Pinspirational Challenges! Welcome Marina! Check out her blog on the main Pinspirational Challenges Blog :)

Here's this week's Pins picture for you to be inspired by....

 

My creation is below:

I used a variety of materials including: DCWV's Blossom and Butterflies 8 x 8 pad, Tim Holtz Adage tickets and the tea doily dies from Dovecraft. I made this tag for this week's challenge - and it's pretty much my favourite thing to make right now! Love my tag creations!

Blue Roses at Pinspirational Challenges!

Another lovely weekly challenge at Pinspirational Challenges is here! So here is this week's image...

 

Love the cupcakes - they're awesome and so sweet! Yummy! :)

Our challenge this week is sponsored by: 

Beccy's Place and Stamp Art Design (Yep! We're doubling up on sponsors!)

Here's my creation:

So, I didn't follow a blue theme, but I followed the 'rose' theme - lots of reds, pinks and even roses for embellishments! I made this tag using linen caramel cardstock, punched with a doily lace punch at the bottom. The paper used was from the Papermania Capsule collection, and the 'top note' die is from a stash I had. The sparkly jewels are from Papermani also, and the roses and ribbon embellishments are from my stash too. I bought the roses from ebay in a pack of 30 or so, and the ribbon is from a habadashery stall at a 'thrift' market. The string is parcel string for the top of the tag and the hanger paperclip is from set of 30 I bought from a stationers called Tiger in London. Which are very similar to the Tim Holtz ones. The iamge is from our Team 2 sponsor - Stanp Art Design.

I hope that this has inpisired you to join in our challenge at Pins this week! Check our our blog for Team 1 and Team 2's creations - they're awesome and they will totally inspire you to create and join with us!

The winner of this week's challenges gets a prize of three digi images from Beccy's Place and five digi images from Stamp Art Design / Whimsy Stamps

Challenge ends: Monday 21st January at Midnight (Newfoundland Time)

(Pin)spirational Challenge #19

Happy Wednesday. to you all! Thank you for stopping by!

The Pinspirational Challenges DT team have been hard at work creating projects and cards for our latest challenege inspired by this picture below:

Love the sweet colours in this picture and the objects contained. Very girly and very colourful. Gorgeous!

So from this picture, I have created the project below:

These are favour boxes created with the Sizzix Bigz Take Away Box Die and K & Company's 12 x 12 Classic K McKenna paper. The paper is actually (when you flick through the pad) is decorated with roses and floral patterns in natural and girly colours, so I thought that this paper would be ideal for this boxes. I used an image supplied to us from our sponsors for the tags and sentiments on the boxes for a simple finish. The boxes are held together with ribbon and decorated with two small roses. A simple make - perfect for weddings, birthdays and parties.

This week's challenge sponsor are: Meljen's Designs
