August Free Stamp Challenge - 'Cat's out of the Bag'

Hello Everyone, 

I know posts have been none existent on this blog page, but I am a busy bee with preparing for my final year of Uni and just life in general. I will probably just be posting up these 'Delightful Inspiration {from the heart}' challenge cards for a while and maybe some other challenges if I get time. I am in the process of trying to make some Christmas cards, getting an early start on everything here...heh. :)

Anyway, here's my card for the August Free Stamp Challenge, using the 'Cat's out of the Bag' stamp from 'From The Heart Digital Stamps'. I love this image and it was perfect for a thank you card for my boyfriends parents after they had me to stay at their house for a whole month. 



This card was made using: 
  • Make & Create 5'x7' Cream Card
  • Riverbank Revels Designer Paper Pack
  • The sentiment is from Word and filled with medium coloured blue
  • Delightful Inspirations {from the heart} - 'Cat's out of the Bag' Freebie stamp -August
  • Pro Colour Pencils - Yellow, Brown, Pink, and a Pencil

Thank you for reading this short post and sorry its not more interesting. Hope you like the card. I love these digital stamps so so much, their so cute. :)

Talk to you all next month :)

Summer Heat and Busy Times

Hello Everyone, 

Boy has it been hot in the last few weeks. I've been staying with my boyfriend and his family this month as I had to move out of student housing for the month. Its been lots of fun and I've spent a lot of time reading and playing games. Not much time scrapbooking or card making, but I don't mind too much as I still enjoy doing it when I go back to it. 

I've decided to make another card for the Delightful Inspiration Monthly Challenge, using their “Painting Ladybug" image. I love these images so much, and I recommend anyone else who loves them to spend that little bit of money to get the current image and then you can have a free image from Faith every month there after. All you have to do is make a project using the image and then link to the From the Heart Stamps digital stamp shop. It's well worth having a look. 

My card this month is here:

   I made this card using:
   
   - Make & Create 5' x 7' cream card,          cut in half with a top fold
   - Art Deco Thank you Stamp Set
   - Painting Ladybug from 'From The
      Heart Digital Stamps'
   - Milton and Co. Decoupage Card
      Making kit


I like the tiny notelet like style that this card ended up like. I had printed and coloured the image before I actually started to make the card and my card base was just far to big as a standard 5' x 7' so I decided to chop it down. :) I like the end result. 

Anyway, I'm going to try and make a thank you card for my boyfriend's parents at some point, so I shall try and put that up for you all to see. 

Talk to you all soon.
