Last Minute Inspiration

Just thought I'd post a few more cards here for you to see what I've been up to and to hopefully give you a last minute push to get some cards in for the challenge this month.  I was busy a couple of days ago, but wanted a few minutes of creative time, so I decided to practice what I preach in all my classes - if you're going to make one card, it's just as easy to make 2 or 3 when everything is out anyway!

I used the challenge and did square cards and then add lots of glitter and gems to them.  I know you can't see the glitter in the top ones, but I added it to the patterned paper as I did in the second ones as well as on the snowflakes.  The top cards were new paper from Imaginisce and the bottom ones were some fun leftovers of last year's Bo Bunny that I hadn't used.  None of these were particularly hard or time consuming, so get that card mojo moving and create some more cards before the end of the month!

Keep your eye out for a new challenge next Friday too!
Cheers,
Colleen

August Challenge!!!

Happy August Everyone! Can you believe we're about halfway through the summer?  I hope it's been nice weather for you!

Here's our challenge for August.... Since many of us have had a lot of heat this summer, we're going to cool things down with SNOWFLAKES!  Yes, as some of you guessed from the sneaks, your cards this month need to have snowflakes of some kind - in the paper, embellishments, stamping or whatever you like!
