Turning 50 in style

Good day

Another 50th birthday is on the cards. This time I made a gift card holder in a form of handbag. I have this lovely paper from my scrapbook stash and it just fitted the theme. I used a Beccy's place tutorial for this. I used a little piece of Velcro to keep the piece together. Further added a Afrikaans sentiment die cut in front and a little bow embellishment.

Good day

We have a new challenge at Creative Moments and this time we are sponsored by Pattie's Creations. I had Coconut Drink as image to play with. I have a longing to have a proper vacation like before COVID where you can just relax and enjoy the moment. My paper and sentiment are from Paradiso from Kaiser Craft. I used some cuttlebug dies for the flowers and leaves. Image was coloured with Prisma Pencils.

Golden 50

 Good day

It is not often that I have time to play on a Saturday, but I just had to finish this project. This is the year where we and some of our very good friends celebrate our 50th birthdays. This colour combo is so in a 50th birthday celebration range. I used paper from Young & Chic from Creative Path added some wet embossed birthday sentiment and played with some golden papers from my stash. Added 6 golden epoxy dots.

Talking to the moon

 Good day

I was inspired by a few challenges with this project! I used Conversations from Sheepski design and it came to mind when one of the challenges asked to make a birthday card for 2 people celebrating their birthday on the same day but like mile apart. The paper just suited the colour challenge choice. I used some dies from my stash and a star ribbon to add the final touch. The moon's subtle colouring is just not visible on the photo and darker background. I have fussy cut the image, since I was not sure if I can replicate the background paper. 

Challenges I'm joining:

Cute Card Thursday #692 - Anything goes

Craft Rocket #85 - choose one or more: Ribbon, bow or buttons

SheepSki Design Challenge #54 - Boys and girls come out to play

September has arrived at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

Good day

On this 1 day of September. Here we call it Spring day and slowly we can see new life creeping out and that makes me super excited! Even the temperature has risen. Hope the rain comes soon to settle the dust.

In the beginning of the month it is also time for new sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. We would have been sponsored by Bugaboo but the shop closed down unseeingly. The DT has decided that we will give away images as used by the DT as prize though.
