Phoenix Inspirations

Good evening everyone - has anyone else been struggling with blogger today? It just wouldn't let me upload piccies for ages today - very strange! Anyway today I have some matching items to show you. It all started with this tag I then decided to make a gift bag to attach it to - thing is I made the bag a little on the small side so I ended up making another tag for the bag. A tutorial on how to make the gift bag can be found over on the Make My Monday blog. So then I decided to go the whole hog and make a matching birthday card For all these projects I have used Stampin' Up Itty Bitty Buds stamp set. The card stock and inks are Summer Sun, Cameo Coral, Not Quite Navy and Old Olive. And here is the whole lot together Thanks for stopping by to take a look - hope you liked it. I'll be back tomorrow with samples for my Thursday night workshop - see you then - Jacqueline xx.

This week on my challenge blog Make My Monday  the challenge is to use die cut flowers, just like I have done here This is a 5" x 5" cream card blank on to which I have placed some pink card. I then stamped some swirly bits using Stampin' Up - Itty Bitty Buds. The flowers were cut on my 'Bug and I know you are going to say "Where from?" Well, Bev bought them round last week - she got them from e-bay. We tried Google-ing the company name but all we got was a strange bar coded image! So, some pink brads were used for the flower centers and some pink bling was randomly added to the rest. Please do go over to the blog and have a go - there is a prize  for our monthly winner. Or just go over and see what the Deezine Team have come up with - there are some stunning samples this week. Hope you all had great weekend's despite the rain! - bye for now - Jacqueline xx.
