Creative inspirations challlenge 23: spots, dots and circles


Although I have been following many challenge blogs, and using the sketches as inspiraton for my cards, I never entered on any of them. Oh well, there's a first for everything!

I used my nesties to create an aperture, an made some rings with differrent sizes of nesties. The die-cuts are from the latest Let's Make Cards issue (I really should look up those Beatrix Potter books and read them again: lots of memories there!).

I'm sure I'll find someone down with the flue to send this to...

Okay, so I didn't buy just the one stamp of WoJ...

I also bought Willow with Strawberrybasket, and couldn't resist using her right away. She's sitting on nestabilities labels 2, and behind her are some papers from the Making Memories pad Rouge & Mocha. Cardstock is Bazzil.




Ialso did the inside. A third nestie was made, but not yet glued: I'll doe that after I wrote the message, but since I don't know who the card is for yet...

Willow with cookies


It' my SIL's birthday soon, and she'l get cookies from us. Willow's cookies, that is. I colored het with my Derwent colorsofts (still getting the hang of this). I really like her, I'm sure I look just like her when I carry a tray of cookies out of the oven!

Her birthday is at the end of August, so I still have time to bake her something to go with it (I was actually thinking along the line of brownies: one cannot have too much chocolate on her birthday, right?).

Ingredients (of the card, not the brownies ;-)
stamp: Whiff of joy
papers: Bazzil and Basic Grey (marrakech)
