WOW at Creative Inspirations and a little claire club card make

Good morning Lovelies! How are you today? I hope you are well and happy. I'm feeling a little more organised after buying the mulled wine and mince pies for the school christmas fair and sorting out some gift bags for the secret mums gift stall. I even managed to buy a Christmas cake for the luxury hamper we'll be raffling - and put posters up and secured some more help on the day! All good news!!

There's a new challenge today over at Creative Inspirations cinspirations and we're sponsored by the stamp fairy - that means I got to use one of the fab images of Barry - don't you just love him? Here's my card:




I used an embossalicious grande dots folder for the background along with a memory box border top and bottom and some trees cut from die'sire dies to the left - the sentiment is from LOTV. The image itself has been coloured with promarkers and I added a faux frame using the die as a mask.

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

I have another card to show you too made from the stamps and cards that I get monthly from the Little Claire stamp club. I kept a few of the card packs and took them with me when I was away over half term as something to do in the evening - this is one of the ones I did:





Hope you have a great wednesday - I'm running this morning then preparing for rainbows this afternoon - we're going to be having fun with shaving foam and inks and also doing some die cutting - should be fun!!! Thanks for dropping by today and for any comments you may leave! I really do appreciate each and every one and look forward to reading what you think!

Big Hugs

Rachel

    Both cards are great, just taking five minutes between getting things ready for teaching the children how to make an Oragami box tomorrow, why do I say "yes I can do that". Hope you get the help you need for your fair. Hazel xx
