Yes – we have a new challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey.  The title might give you a clue to this one… we want to see your interpretation of “borders”.  Easy or what?
I have been busy making my “Thank You Teacher” cards.  The new Fruit Fusion: Apple stamp set and die were the obvious choice for this project and as the colour of apples is often red, I am in Pure Poppy heaven too!  I used the Simple Alphabet set to create the name of the teacher and and Round and Round for the Thank You sentiment.

As a few of my much loved blogging chums are so talented that they have projects published in the latest edition of Stamp It! magazine I thought I would rustle something up to enter their stamping challenge –Stamp It! Cards Week Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. This isn’t really the kind of style I usually produce but I love how it turned out.  It’s for my SiL who just turned (can you guess?)…30!

The products are all from Papertrey Ink apart from the punch I used for the wee butterflies.  The background from Damask Designs is stamped in Sweet Blush and the sentiments are from Big Birthday Wishes.  I also managed to get a wee swirl in there on the tag from Fancy Flourishes!

Thanks for popping by,

Hey folks.  Having a go at this weeks Make It Monday challenge over on Nichole Heady’s blog.  This week it’s reverse masking (which seems a bit like stencilling to me but hey ho!!).  I die cut the middle sized star from the Stars die set and used it to mask an outline into which I stamped one of the paint-splattery-type stamps from Grunge Me in Pure Poppy, Hawaiian Shores and Summer Sunrise.  I also blended a bit round the edge with the blender tool thingy (don’t you just love my grasp of the english language today!!)

Oh, and although she’s just a tad over 6 it’s also Aimes‘ birthday today so have a great day hunny pie – hope to see you soon.

Hugs,
