Getting Gifty!

Hello and happy Tuesday!
The challenge at There She Goes this week is Getting Gifty (TSG79), and our host is Natalie! Her’s how she describes it:
About this time of year I start thinking about fun little ways to let family and friends
know I am thinking of them. It could be as simple as a little bag of candy with a handmade tag,
or a handmade card…there is really no bad way to tell someone you care :)
So my challenge for you is to create something ‘gifty’
It doesn’t have to be elaborate. It can be a tag, gift bag, ornament, card…pretty much anything goes :)
What an easy challenge right!

I say it’s definitely a fun one! I decided to make a card that holds a bookmark in a pocket - it’s a perfect gift for just about anyone in my family :)
I stamped the images from the You’re A Hoot! set, on OA journaling card (my bookmark), and popped the owlies up on my pocket. Aren’t they adorable??

Karen gave us the freedom of choosing one of her past sketches to play with this week, and this one is what I chose. There would be many more that I’d easily call my favourites, but this sketch suited my idea for the moment :)

The colours come from Our Creative Corner - I took some freedom with the interpretation :)

The card also goes to C4C56 - Bling.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you’ll have a fabbo day!!!

Group post

Hello!
I made a couple of quick cards this morning, that I’d like to share. I don’t have much time, so I’ll reduce babbling to zero, and just show them to you. Sounds fine? :)

Firstly I’ve got my Monday project for Really Reasonable Ribbon, featuring one of the best products in the store (in my humble opinion…) - silk ribbon in Rose.

Photobucket

Supplies; cardstock: DCWV; paper: Bella Blvd; stamp: Hero Arts, Papertrey Ink; ink: Versa Color (Fresh Green, Pinecone); Rose Silk ribbon; punch: Martha Stewart

The card is inspired by these beauties by CAKath, who’s this week’s Featured Stamper for FS184.

I also took Card Patterns sketch 77,

Photobucket

and combined it with C4C50 (which is to use music on a project) on this card:

Photobucket

Supplies; paper: October Afternoon, Grant (Grace Taylor Vintage Collection); stamps: Stampendous, Impress; ink: Versa Color (Sky Blue), ColorBox (Black);glitter: Ice Stickles; sewing machine; fabric flowers; buttons; string; burlap; letter stickers: Fynmark

Lastly, here’s my rather loose interpretation of CPS180, along with the gorgeous colours of Color Cue {7}…
