Going Green

During March we are surrounded by so much green that it finally inspired me to create a green themed card.  Actually I should be working on a couple of DT cards - but I wasn't getting any inspiration for those ones!

One Call Away

It's time for a new challenge at Scribbles Designs - and this month the theme is "Song In Your Heart"
One particular song, that I have been listening to recently was the inspiration for my card:

The song is called One Call Away by Charlie Puth.  If you don't know the song, then hopefully this link to the song works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxuY9FET9Y4

I used a paper from Kaisercraft for the background.  The image that I have used is Red Phone Booth from Scribbles Designs.  I typed up the sentiment on my computer and also added a die-cut flower embellished with a pearl.

What song is in your heart at the moment?  Create a card inspired by that song and share it with us.

Long and Narrow

I was inspired by the inspiration picture at PINspirational Challenges to create a long and narrow card.  It is not a usual shape for me - I tend to work towards our standard postal size or square that I would hand deliver.  This one may actually fit into one of our standard postal letters so maybe I should make more this size!
