Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes + Option Of A Sketch!

Good Morning!

This week's challenge at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS is Anything Goes + Option Of A Sketch!

This year we are not only giving you the option of using a Sketch but also a choice between this new one or one of our old Sketches! All you have to do is make sure you say which you have used in your blog post.

I decided to use one of the older sketches on today's card and rotate it to suit the size of the image better.

12 Tags of 2014 ... January!

Good Morning!

Today I have my version of this month's 12 TAGS OF 2014! When I first saw it I have to admit I was a little bit stumped which is why I didn't make it straight away. The fact I don't have the pocket watch die that he used but a spanner in the works a little bit! When I sat down to make the tag yesterday though I managed to come up with an alternative that I hope you all like!

Clean & Simple Male Birthday!

Good Morning!

It's not often that I get to share a card with you that isn't from one of the challenges I'm on the DT for but today I do! I made this card earlier in the week for one of my friends I have known for almost 14 years. He's the same age as me and as we all know how tricky it can be to make young adult male cards I decided to go down the Clean & Simple route! I thought the Birthday Blueprints Set by Tim Holtz would work great for this type of card.
