Phoenix Inspirations

  Hello - it’s a long time since I last posted but I was asked to be a Guest Designer in  The Male Room  and I jumped at the chance. I set up the challenge blog a long time ago but had to give it up due to personal reasons. Since then it has carried on splendidly and today is their 200th challenge - how cool is that? So here is the challenge brief: Now to be totally honest with you I am a cat person and I very nearly did a cat card however, a dog is man's best friend and after all this is a male card so.................. Here we have a very excited trio of woofers out in the forest on their walkies! I used Stampin' Up sets for this card: Trees For Sale, Campology and Grassy Grove. Don't forget to pop over and take a look at all the other fab cards from the DT and leave some love. J xx

Gosh this is early for me - I'm posting at 7.00am. Have a very busy day today - got my friend and her little girl Amelia comming over soon, I have a Garden Show to organise for this evening and a workshop tomorrow morning. But better than all that - I have a guest spot on the Die Cut Dreams Challenge Blog. The theme this week is ' A Tag - but no Stamping'. Here is my card Yikes - no stamping, that was quite a challenge! However with my trusty Stampin' Up punches I created this flower pot card with a lift out tag for writing greetings and messages. Don't forget to hop over to Die Cut Dreams  to see all the other DT samples - and why not have a go yourself! Thank you Susie for this oppotunity to be Guest DT - it's been fun!
