Creative Inspiration for Fitztown

Hey everyone, some days I just don't know which end is up and what's going on...and yesterday was one of them...I was sure I had this post scheduled on my blog, but when I went to look (today) it wasn't there, so I'm a day late with my creative inspiration for the latest challenge at Fitztown.


This week the challange is Anything Goes, and there's no excuse not to play along, right?

Here's what I created...using this wonderful digi of our Fitztown Challenge Blog leader Ema !!


I hope you like it.  I had fun colouring it up, but my photograph doesn't quite show the colours right...they look a little off here, but in "real life" as my sons says they look good.

I hope you'll pop over to Fitztown and join us this week.

School boy

I created this card at the Krafty Krop yesterday for World Cardmaking Day.  I just had to share it as it's with one of my favourite stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and artist Cheryl Alger.

It was made by stamping the image with Versamark ink, then sprinkling with white embossing powder to give it a chalkboard feel.  Don't you just love it.

Tracy Penney, a Krafty Gal is the designer of this card, and her card included the sentiment "Smarty Pants", however I will be using it as a Teacher Thank you card from my son at the end of the school year so I've left the sentiment off.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:
1. Cupcake Inspirations - #281- Books

A brand new Challenge blog

It's the first of October and I'm here to share the very first challenge at a brand-spankin' new challenge blog "Inspiration Destination"

This blog is run by the very-talented Ema Happy Scrapper Martinez, someone who's very involved in challenge and blog-land !!

The challenge blog is an ANYTHING GOES challenge blog, which is wonderful in my humble opinion as it allows everyone to play along.

Challenge #1 is sponsored by Fitztown.

I used this lovely Rose image, which I feel is very versatile.



I coloured it with copics and can't take all the credit for the wonderful shading as the image itself has shading printed on it. 

I hope you like what I've created and will pop over to the newest Challenge Blog in blog-land and play along with us.
