Challenge #1 - Finished!

Well!! Here it is!

The little pocket does actually have a tea bag in it (Guess what kind Rhi??). Totally fun to make.. it really didn't turn out at all like I had visioned but I still think it's pretty cute ;) You can see all my pictures from this challenge here.

Can't wait for the next challenge.. I wonder what it will be!!

Challenge #1 Results

My mother's birthday is coming up in a few short weeks, so my entry for this challenge was inspired by that, as was our overall "Yellow" theme, because it's her favourite colour. The colour theme was the most difficult part of this challenge for me, because yellow is NOT my favourite colour, and I had very very little to work with in terms of my own supplies.

Stamping was my main focus for this card, because I got two really nice stamp sets around Christmastime. The design is loosely based on a card in a book my mother sent me last week--I borrowed the "Happy" inset from it, but the rest is pretty much my own.

Challenge #1 - Tara's Supplies

psssst.. I'm done ;) And with almost a week to spare!! (don't get used to that! I'm pretty sure I'll be cutting it close on most of the deadlines!) Anyway.. So as not to spoil the surprise I'm not going to post my finished product yet - but here's my supplies!

Let's see.. We've got yellow card stock, patterned paper, scissors, glue, my coluzzle knife, colluzzle templates (envelope, tag, circle), some ribbon, corner punch and round punch (round punch not in picture), and some glue dots.

I think that's just about it!
hmmmm.. ;)
