Hi Everyone today's my first Inspirational Post for you, so exciting...

I have used the set called Mixed Media, love how you can use them to create a scene, so many wonderful digi papers to choose from...

For my card I used several dies, added sentiment & open weave ribbon.  I used this adorable rubber stamp image called "Flowers for You" by Crissy Armstrong, purchased from Whimsy Stamps sometime ago.  I used Prismacoloring Pencils for my image and absolutely love how it turned out.

Thank You...

I've been on a roll this week, and today is all about supporting others from far away...

I would love to thank Tamara from The Stamping Chef for this wonderful freebie on offer through Facebook Group ONLY to help support the marvelous job that the Dutch Troops in Mali do....

I have kindly donated my card below for "Operation Blue Bison", for their appreciation in making parts of the World a more peaceful place...

The image called "Sodeju (Operation Blue Bison)" , Tamara especially created for support & us to created to give something back to them to show we care...

I then coloured in the image with copics & fussy cut out, added some ribbon & turned into a banner for her to sit on & along with a sentiment.  The designer papers used is from Bearly Mine Designs called "Mixed Media 2".

I did write inside especially for one of the Troops to show my support  from Aussie Land, for what they are doing, but forgot to take a picture.... and it's already on it's way through the mail yesterday.

All about having fun ...

I've made a card today for this month's progressive challenge at Imagine That ...digis by Kris, the wonderful freebie is adorable, just love the precoloured image.   My entry is @ #22.

So much fun making this card using lovely bright colours.  The image used is of course the freebie for this month called "Poolside Penguins"  I wanted to keep it quite simple just by adding a border of designer paper leftover scrap, which I border punched one side, along with adding several buttons. Such a cute image, thanks Kris.  I hope you love my card as much as I did creating it.

All about Stripes ...

I was so happy to use a current freebie from Sami Stamps Shop, such lovely images, so I could enter the current challenge #14 at  Sami Stamps with the theme being "Add Stripes",  my entry at #7.

 My card is based around the current theme "Add Stripes", and was very pleasurable to do.  I decided to paper piece my image "Poppies Bunch" using Bearly Mine Designs  paper "Spring Mix"  as well as the background designer paper too, then added several purple rhinestones to compliment.  I used Spellbinder die to cutout out the paper pieced image once completed, along with ribbon as well.  I so love the colour purple & very happy with how it turned out.  I hope you enjoyed viewing my card.

Salty kisses !

Today I've made a simple card to enter this months wonderful progressive challenge over at Deedee's Digi Challenge Blog  using part of this wonderful new set "Life's A Beach"
