Phoenix Inspirations

 Don't you just hate it when you have loads of little scraps hanging around the place? Mine get thrown into a box never to see the light of day again! However today I decided to have a go at using some of them up.  I fished out some of the Just Jade DSP scraps and die cut them with some of my Stitched Nested Labels. It was a bit fiddly fitting some of the scraps in but I managed to get enough to arrange on a C6 card base - take a look I wanted to add some stamped images so I reached for my Butterfly Gala set - I don't use this one very often but I have a matching punch that cuts them out perfectly.  The card still looked a bit empty so I added a hand drawn frame around it and a couple of sentiments - also from the Bytterfly Gala set. That and a few enamel dots finished the card off nicely. This card will be entered into the challenge over at the  Rainbow Card Challenge Blog Thanks for stopping by today - hope to see you again soon - J xx

Oh my goodness - where did February go???? I know it's a short month but honestly one minute it was there and then poof - gone!!!! I haven't been doing much crafting really - battling with my fibro and taking care of mum. Mum has been Pfizered but I'm still waitng for my jab - thankfully we are both well and covid free. So today I have my DT card for the challenge over at Christmas 24 It's a Tic Tac Toe recipe this time and here is the grid to choose from I choose a diagonal line: DIE CUTS, RIBBON, SEQUINS Here is my card For this card I used the now retired Ornamental Envelopes Bundle. I purchased this set but for some reason didn't use it in time for last Christmas - thank goodness for Christmas challenge blogs!! I also CASEd a card I'd seen by my blog friend Kerry Timms - she makes fabulous cards and I needed a bit of inspiration! Please do pop over to the challenge blog and take a look at all the other wonderful DT cards. See you soon - J x
