Here is the sketch for this week:

I needed to make a baby card this week for our neighbours so decided this sketch was perfect. I know my interpretation is VERY loose, hope I'll still qualify...
Here's the box the card comes in:

Thanks for looking!

This week it is to create a really colourful card:


I made that card in a really foul mood to cheer myself up and guess what - it worked!

Hope it'll brighten your mood as well! :)

Card for Ooh-la-la-Creations Challenge Blog:

It seems to be a challenge day today! :)

This weeks theme was Soft Furnishings. It couldn't have come at better time since I'm in using up the scraps mood! :D

I have been drooling over Kazans and Lauras sketches for a while so decided to have a go.

I also set myself couple of additional challenges:
1) Use up as many scraps as possible
2) Go for colours that usually wouldn't be my first pick
3) And the card has to be of practical value - meaning I'd actually have to know what I'll do with it! :D

Polka dot ribbon came from a packet of paper flowers, not enough for wrapping the card but enough for a bow. Papers are from my scrap bag, heart is made of chipboard from paper pack backing (stamping & UTEE), flowers are cheapo ones from Ebay altered with acrylics and stamping. :D

Lavender & green are usually not my first choice colour combination but I kinda like it after finishing the card.

I just started playing with papers in the beginning of the summer and already it has grown into major obsession (and a lethal shopping addiction).

But I'm having so much fun!

Anyway, just to prove that I HAVE actually managed to do something beside buying heaps of new stash - here comes:
