Challenge #227 Punch It Up!

Hi there, Jayne here with this weeks challenge and I thought I would go easy on you this time around!

Since Christmas, I've been using my Silhouette Cameo quite a lot on my creations, which means some of my older and favourite 'go to' tools have been neglected.

For this reason, I thought it would be fun to get back to my roots and use one of the staples I would previously never have created anything without......punches!

I decided to choose one of my faves and run with it.

I'm sure you all have a fair few punches hiding in your stash so let's see them put to work!

Don't forget to link up your creation below, and why not check out the inspiring projects from the rest of the Girlfriends too?

Have fun,
Jayne.x.

But I was able to select a few lovely, springlike cards.

Challenge #226 - Yearning for Spring!

Hello everyone!

It's time for another challenge and given all the cold winter weather we have been having I have been yearning for spring.

So my challenge for this week is to use spring as your inspiration.

It can be spring colours, spring flowers, spring rain, anything spring-like.

I used spring colours and butterflies  on my card:

So dig into those wagons for your spring-like items and link up your project below.

We love to see what you create!

Happy Wednesday, all! This week the challenge is Anything But a Card....But With Paper. So, a layout, bookmark, tag, altered project etc. It doesn't have to be all paper, but it does have to include at least some paper.

This is what I did.....

Challenge #224 - Pocket

Happy Wednesday to everyone! Joanne here with another fun challenge for you.  This week I would like to see a pocket on your creation.

This is my inspiration for you.

I created the background for my card using two different pattern papers that I stitched to some cardstock.  Then I added a pocket that I had in my wagon from Simple Stories Sn@p! Collection.  Next I created a tag using some paper with the words "You Are Awesome" printed on it, a plastic ring and some ribbon.  As a finishing touch, I added a rub-on arrow and an epoxy dot. 

Now it's your turn!  Show us a pocket on a card, layout or project.  Just link up your creation below and we will be sure to visit your blog.

Plus, don't forget to stop by each of the Girlfriend's blogs to see their designs for this challenge!
