"Thats a lot of gold glitter" | TGIF03

Welcome to another TGIF challenge!

This week your challenge is graduation!

(I love how the challenges are mixed up. It keeps me on my toes!)

"... that's a lot of gold glitter paper"

The card was created by using a black ~~yardstick~~ cardstock (that is a hilarious autocorrect) base. Sorry, no yardsticks were used to create this card. Gold glimmer paper was adhered for the bottom of the card. I embossed Congrats in gold from the Stampin' Up! Bravo stamp set. This was also used to create the flag in my centre piece. And finally I added some fun gold embellishments.

This box was created using the gift box punch board. I created a belly band with gold glimmer paper and black cardstock. I created the hassle with gold baker's twine.

You have until Wednesday, May 20th to link up and play along!

Come join the fun!

Birthday Gift Card Holder | Project # 3 for My Pumpkin Challenge Let's Hear it for the Bows

Welcome back to another project for the My Pumpkin Challenge Blog!

This is a gift card holder for a child's birthday created from a mix of old and new My Paper Pumpkin (MPP) kits! The tag was created using a background Happy Birthday stamp, also part of MPP.

Remember to try to use up your stash - make doubles or create tags for that day when you are in a rush and do not have time to make or buy a card!

Have a fabulous day!

Baby Shower Elephant Chocolate Bars | My Digital Studio

Awhile back, I was playing with My Digital Studio in order to create these chocolate bar covers for a baby shower.

It makes me so sad that My Digital Studio with be gone... mostly because I have all kinds of graphics and now I have to learn to use a new program..

I ain't got time for that!

Regardless, have a wonderful day dreaming about chocolate bars!

Alcohol Inks | Classes at the Paperie

I am so very lucky to have a local scrapbooking store.

Not only that they hold classes.

Real life classes.

Come visit The Paperie!

And the instructors are phenomenal!

These two layouts are from a monthly class that is instructed by Sara Case-Strickland called My Favourite Things. This particular month, she used alcohol inks, masks and embellishments.

Although the layouts aren't exact, the techniques and the inspiration comes from her!

(Sorry, these layouts are a little smaller due to the content. My apologies)

a simple thanks | #TGIFc01

hi friends!
happy friday!
(I like the look of the "hs" little... don't get mad. I know the difference.)

I am so excited to be part of a new challenge blog called TGIF Challenges. Every Friday, challenges will be released and you have a week to link up. It's meant to inspire you to go outside your little box. No street allowed.

Our first challenge is a colour challenge. I struggled with this but I counted on my "pop of colour" to get me through. And you can too!

Have a great day and make sure to play along!
