JAI Scrap #15 - Sketch Challenge

Another post and another challenge completed on time! I'm much more at home with Scrapbooking then I am with cards and much happier with this challenge entry.

This Challenge is also from Just Add Ink and if you would like to play along or have a look at other wonderful creations, here is the link.

With this challenge we had this sketch to work with, I love working with Sketches.

And using only papers from 1 pack of Stampin' Up!'s DSP, I came up with this.

Nice and simple with no embellishments just paper, pen and some ink splatter!

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Amanda

JAI #158 - Sketch Callenge

YAY!! I completed a challenge and entered it on time!!

This challenge is for Just Add Ink and this is the sketch to work from. If you would like to play along or have a look at other awesome creations head over to JAI

And here is my card using the sketch.

Photos never give a card justice, but it looks lovely and shimmery covered with the shimmer mist.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

JAI #156 Colour Challenge

I made up this card last night for the Just Add Ink challenge, but somehow I've missed the dealine by a week - never mind I thought I would share it with you anyway. But here's the link if you would like to see other entries or play along in the challenges over at JAI.

This challenge was a colour one using these colours.

And with my 9 year wedding anniversary today I thought these colours would make a great choice for a card for my hubby.

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting,

Gift Ideas - part 2

More gift ideas, this time for the teachers. They do an amazing job and I think it's nice to recognize that at the end of the year. Here I have made a matching gift set and gift bag.

It includes, an easel calendar with mini post it notes......

 ....a magnetic calendar for the fridge......

 ...and a post it note book and mini pen.

To finish it off, I will add a hand made card by my daughter and Coffee,

I know my daughters teacher loves coffee!

Happy crafting,

Amanda :)

Gift Ideas - part 1

It's the time of year for giving. So I thought I would share a few gift ideas with you over the next few weeks.

This one was not for Christmas but for a friends birthday a few weeks ago. She loves owls, so that was easy, using the owl punch I created a cute Owl card. 

I was then going to make a matching gift bag, but thought why not use the card? So here's what I did.......

Simple and quick. And now the cute card is shown off a little more.

Simply add a card bag to the front of the gift bag, and slide the card in.

And there you have it a gift bag and card in one.

Happy crafting,

Amanda :)
