Today, I found the time to sit down and have a play.

I felt creative after looking at all the blogs I visit (and there is ALOT!), however, when it came time to actually putting my ideas onto card - somehow they just don't turn out the same as when they are visualised.

I had coloured in these images a little while ago, and decided I better use them instead of just leaving them to just sit:

the cardstock, ink & buttons are Stampin Up

paper is DCWV

stamped text is Penny Black and image is Gruffies from Stampabilities

ribbon is some making memories I had kicking around in my ribbon jar

cardstock used is again Stampin Up - whisper white and wild wasabi, and the ink & buttons too

patterned paper is just some scraps I had (truly cannot remember from which company)

ribbon is making memores black gingham

stamped image is Penny Black

And, this is my attempt at a Clean & Simple card (no laughing please...)

Cardstock is Stampin Up - very vanilla and only orange (and the ink)

the brads are cute little fishes

stamped text is a mix of SU and All Night Media

hope you like them - as always, feel free to tell me what you think - I appreciate all comments and criticism.
