Live LIfe!

Today's post is for the current challenge at

Sunday Stamps for  Going in Circles

A sketch challenge by Lisa.

and Inkspirational Challenge for

Three of the Same

I flipped my card to fit the MFT circles.

Once again using Lindy's Magical's

for my three circles and found some

itty bitty stamps that would fit nicely inside.

Inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne

(as is the background stampings)

Added some grungy images and sentiment

from AALL&Create to complete my sketch card.

Adhered to coloured card base.

Thanks for dropping in

'tis The Season!

 It's our Christmas in July Challenge at  Cut It Up

I cased THIS card I saw on Pinterest.

As I was on the same DT as the maker

Cornelia Wenokor I had the die and

a similar stamp.

I used CUTplorations Christmas Tree Die

a Spellbinder circle die and

inked the STAMPlorations 'this the Season stamp

in black on to kraft paper with

Versafine Clair Nocturne and heat embossed.

Inked up Tim's Festive Berries

also heat embossed.

Added some washi tape to the bottom and

finished with a red dew drop.

Head over and see what the rest of the team created

and hope to see you in our Gallery.

Word Week at Just Us Girls

 Hello and Welcome to Word week at

Just Us Girls

Vicki is Hosting and chose WATER!

My cards aren't normally what you associate water with

but MO and JO got lost.

Just one of those times nothing wants to work and the

waste paper basket gets a workout.

Smooched background are Distress Inks.

The leaves on the first card are from STAMPlorations

 adding umteen stamped raindrops from

Carabelle Studio then with glossy accents.

Found an itty bitty stamp that worked with the leaves.

(It's Autumn in Australia)

The other card is from my bits box

and stamp is also STAMPlorations - 

Blossom Sprays 1 heat embossed

and partly bleached.

I found the Katzelkraft KTZ146

waterfall stamp and though it would work

heat embossed  cascading over the floral image.

Adding this sentiment 

as I needed a sympathy card for a neighbour.

Our Guest Donna and the Team however

 had no troubles creating fabulous water themed cards

for you to pop over and check out.

Be inspired and add yours to the gallery.

PS MO and JO returned so you will see

a bit more creativity from me again next week.
