DT Post for Creative Inspirations: Colour challenge and an LOTV card

Good Morning to you! I hope you are feeling well? I'm running this morning after double aerobics last night - my poor body - it seems to be all or nothing at the moment!!! Nevermind - something to take my mind off it is this weeks challenge at Creative Inspirations. The challenge is  Spring Colours! Take a look at the lovely palette below and see if you feel inspired! If you do - join us!




This week's prize is from STAMP FAIRY who are offering a $10 GIFT CERTIFICATE!





Here's what I did - it was inspired by that patchwork tutorial on the LOTV site - only I didn't have hexagons so I had to use Octagons!!!!



I really enjoyed the technique and you'll see a few cards using this idea over the next few weeks!!! The card was for a boy in Lucy and Penny's class who was 7 last week - he did like his card so thats good!

I'd like to enter this card for the following challenges:

Bearly Minebearlymine-challenges: Anything goes
PMSpapermakeupstamps: Pastels
OO La La:ooh-la-la-creationschallenges For the boys

I've got another card that I need to put on today also - its for the Lili of the Valley Challenge - TOTP - where you have to have a card relating to a song - well my song is Lets Dance - David Bowie.




 I realise its not a very traditional Easter image but its been made for a couple who dance so I thought I could get away with it. I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

LLF: Inspired by a song

Thats all for today folks - if you look at the top of my blog you will see I'm now on Blog Lovin' - it was an easy change - but thanks to all you people out there that made me aware of it in the first place - I'm following all of you on Blog Lovin - I wouldn't want to lose you!!!

Big Hugs - and hope you have a fabby day - my girls are singing in a music festival at the town hall in Lancaster tonight so that will be very exciting for them - it will probably be a late one for me though!! Big Hugs
