Altenew Woes

Hello folks,

Here's a CAS card using CAS(E) This Sketch as inspiration and the colours from Colour Throwdown:

I've used Floral Motifs from Altenew - yet again I despair with my colouring of my Altenew blooms...I never feel like I do them justice!

Happy stamping!

Colour at Last!

G'day again folks,

Told you I'd be back again today with a little bit of colour for MME's September sketch challenge:

I really wanted to do a scrapbook page but every time I sit down and try and do one, the scrappy mojo just doesn't appear. It's really frustrating me now...an ideas on how to get it back would be greatly appreciated!

Over at Simon Says Stamp (Wednesday challenge), the theme is 'anything goes' so I'm going to pop it over there too!

Short but sweet. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Die Cut Challenge

Hello folks,

Hope your day is tickling along nicely.

Time for another My Minds Eye Challenge, this time to use die cuts on your project. Not sure about you but I have heaps of die cuts gathering dust in my stash. Some of them I've had for years. I'm not too sure why I don't use them more often - they're a real time saver if you need to do a quick card and they look great with matching papers:

Can you spot how many die cuts I've used? There's six on there in total, all from the Bloom and Grow collection, which is so old now, it could probably be exhibited as a scrapbooking antique. I've layered all the blooms and mounted the flower on a journalling strip. Too easy! At least the patterned paper is from one of the MME latest collections!

Super quick card for a super quick post today...thanks for stopping!
