Recipe At Creative Inspirations

It's a very sad day today as it's the last challenge ever over at Creative Inspirations. I've only been there for a very short time but have really enjoyed playing with all the fabulous girls and digging into some different stash.

Anyhoo we have a choice of recipes for you - I've chosen shabby chic, pearls and lace. I did go a bit OTT with the pearls as they were stuck down individually and still haven't found the ones that escaped across the room :c)

Please hop over to the challenge to see the other girls last creations - sob sob! and leave us some love.

Back to School with Creative Inspirations

Only another 3 weeks until they go back to school here in England - I'm still recovering from a mammoth uniform shop yesterday and running backwards and forwards from the changing room as different styles needed different sizes grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Anyhoo our theme this fortnight at Creative Inspirations is Back to School and I've used a Tiddly Inks Digi to make a box for a notebook - that way when it gets used you just put another one in. We're sponsored by Simon says Stamp and Joanna Sheen so even more reasons to enter :c)

Summer Time at Creative Inspirations

I don't know if you've noticed my new shiny DT badge but I was over the moon when I was asked to join the fabby DT over at Creative Inspirations. Debbie has picked the theme this time and it's Summertime.
we have a wonderful prize of a stamp set from Little Claire

I've used the bright cheerful colours of DCWV Hopscotch Boy papers together with some offcuts of card from my stash. The swinging boy image is from Sassy Cheryls Digis I've dabbed distress inks round the image to try and make a background (need a bit more practise at this) and coloured him with promarkers.

Fantastic sketch to work with on Creative Inspirations this week.
