Hello and welcome! I’m very glad you joined our group of the Gallery Idol 2012 Girls for a fun shaped cards blog hop inspired by the Paper Crafts July Gallery Challenge! You should have come from Amy’s blog and if not HERE a full list of participants.

Since shaped cards are always a challenge for me I went simple and here is my circle shaped card:

I used here the Modern Landscape die by Memory Box and pp by American Crafts.

Onto the giveaway! There are lots of prizes to be won! One random winner will be chosen at each stop! I was going to offer you some goodies from my Gallery Idol prize, but it hasn’t arrived yet so the winner of my giveaway will receive a $15 gift card to the online craft supply store of their choice.

Runway Inspired Challenge #15

It's Tuesday and that means a new challenge at the Runway Inspired Challenge blog. Check out this week's inspiration piece:

source: style.com

And here is my take on it:

I went clean and simple with my card, using the red and blue colour combo and a plaid background stamp from Bitty Backgrounds set by Unity Stamps.  The butterfly stamp comes from the Antique Flowers and Butterflies Framelits die set.

  

Make sure to check out the Runway Inspired Challenge blog for all the details on how to enter the challenge and our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp! And don't forget to pop by the other DT blogs to see their great creations:

Thank you!

Phew! Ever wonder where all the time goes? I sure do lately. Time seems to be flying I can't believe that it's already July! (gasp!) I haven't had much time for crafting and blogging lately but I’m finally starting to catch up. First of all I would like to thank to everyone for your emails, messages and all your support during Gallery Idol! It was a fantastic experience and I have had nothing but an amazing time getting to know all of my fellow finalists! They are such a great bunch of talented ladies! And huge congrats to the winner, Joscie Cutchens, her final card was just spectacular! 

Today, I have a card that I made some time ago using Jane’s Doodles Doodle Flowers stamp set:

I used here a simple masking technique. The colouring of the flowers was a combination of markers and water colouring with ink.

Thanks for stopping by today!
