Mojo Monday Challenge 231

Here is the card I have created for Mojo Monday 231 Challenge.  Again I have used the Sale-a-Bration DSP Everyday Enchantment - I just love this paper.   I created the scallops on my circle by punching out a strip of paper with the Scallop Trim Border Punch, running this through the crimper and then attaching to the edge of my circle.  This gives a beautiful edging to the circle.  I have created the flowers using both the small scallop punch and small circles.

A Little Bit of Scrapbooking

As in my previous post, thanks to my friend Heidi, I have also been doing a bit of scrapbooking as she has started up a blog called Scrap a Page Thursdays and I have decided that I will start getting some more scrapbooking done by challenging myself to have a page done by every Thursday.  Unfortunately, my scrapbooking has taken a bit of a backseat to my cardmaking of late but this is all about to change.  So here is my page for this week.

I have just received some of the new Sale-a-Bration stamp sets, papers and embellishments and couldn't wait to try them out.  I have also got a bit of a crocheting fetish at the moment and have been crocheting lots of little flowers that I can use in my cards and scrapbooking - I have used a couple of these on my page.  I was not a fan of the colour Calypso Coral when it was first introduced by Stampin'Up! but now I love it.  My photo really doesn't show how nice it is.

Supplies used for this page were Calypso Coral and Baja Breeze Cardstock, I stamped on scraps of Confetti White Cardstock, Elementary Elegance and Fresh Vintage Stamp Sets, Everyday Enchantment DSP, Everyday Enchantment Brads and Ribbons, Calypso Coral Inkpad, Antique Brads, Victoria Lace, Vintage Trinket Safety Pin, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Dies

Thanks so much for looking.

A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY CARD

I thought I would show you today a card I made last week for a very dear friend for her 50th birthday.  We have known each other since primary school and so I really wanted to make her a very special card to celebrate her day.  As she seems to love black I decided to use some of the Love Letters DSP which unfortunately is no longer available - this was one of my favourites.

I am really into making my own flowers at the moment so I created the flowers on the front of the card with the Fun Flowers Die (the large flower) and


the smaller flower using the Scallop Circle punch.  Here is a closer view of the flowers.


I am really happy with the way this card turned out and my friend really loved it.
