Fusion Challenge

Good Evening,

Well that is my Christmas and New Year holidays over and back to work tomorrow. If I said I was looking forward to it that would be an understatement, however I'm sure once I am there I will be fine.

However some good news is that the Fusion Challenge blog is back and better than ever. They even have some fab new Design Team members, including my talented CASology teamate Kimberly.  Since I haven't played along with Fusion for quite some time, I thought I would join in.

Supplies Used:
Uniko Studio - Background Builders - Lattice
Stampin Up - Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Stampin Up - Morning Meadow
Lil Inkers - Stitched Mats

With the Fusion challenge, you can either use the inspiration photo, the sketch or both.  For this card I used the pattern on the cushions and colours featured in the photo.

That's it from me for today, got to get organised for work tomorrow.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everybody,

I hope you all have had a good New Year, I was away celebrating Hogmanay in Edinburgh, so had to take another short from my blog. However all the festivities are over so normal service shall resume.

I always find that when I take from crafting it takes a while to find my mojo again, the quickest way for me to get back into the groove is to go back to basics and don't attempt anything too complex. So here is my card for today.

Sorry the picture doesn't show the shimmer and splatter too well

Supplies Used:
Uniko Studio - All Occasion Sentiments #2
Clearly Besotted - Going Places
Stampin Up - Smooch Spritz - Gold

Challenges Entered:
One Layer Simplicity Challenge - Restocking the Shelves - I am running low on just generic birthday cardxs, so I now have one more to add to the pile.
