Welcome from Nicole's blog.
This week we are back to a Sketch Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

I came to the realisation this week that our Sketches are to be used as a starting point not the be all and end all for the layout, so this is what I came up with:

PROJECT RECIPE
Stamps
- None this week
Cardstock & Ink
- Pool Party
- Island Indigo
- Watermelon Wonder
- Basic Black
- Pretty Petals DSP - 138442
Stampin’ Up! Accessories
- Banner Triple Punch - 138292

- Elegant Butterfly Punch - 127526
- Hello You Thinlits - 137363
- Little Numbers Thinlits - 138278
- Rhinestone Basic Jewels

The Pretty Petals DSP has so many different looks in the one pack, that it makes it very versatile and usable for any kind of design that you want.

Next on the hop is Tamsin , lets go see what creativity she has come up with this week.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #44

We have done something completely different this week, we are freestyling.
Welcome from Alisa 'sblog, I am sure that she had something wonderful to share with us.

I decided this week to challenge myself by making a card using retired products.

This is what I came up with:
 Create a Cupcake
Card dimensions: 5 3/4" x 4 1/4"

Perfect Blend
Card dimensions: 4" x 4"

I can tell you now that it was really hard to choose what to use. Obviously most of the colours are still in products but the stamp sets and the label punches are retired now.

I really had fun with this challenge and I think we should do it again some time.

Let's go check out what Tamsin has come up with.
