Totally Gorjuss (GDT) - Circles

It's Saturday!  Welcome to another challenge at Totally Gorjuss.  As you can see from my card below, the challenge is Circles this week.  Please visit the challenge blog to view the rest of the DT's cards... there are some awesome creations for your inspiration.

This was a real challenge for me.  I've never made a circle card before and had to ask a friend of mine how to cut this Marianne Die so that it doesn't cut all the way through.  So... armed with a few notes, I set about inserting the die onto the paper and voila!... here's my Circle card.  I'm into the Clean and Simple cards right now... no image.  The beautiful paper is a pad called Annalee, a purchase from Crafty Emma's Store in the UK and I think the sentiment is from LOTV.  Made a bow out of seam binding, a purchase from Creative Treasures.  The gorgeous cherry blossom is also from them and the flat backed pearls from Paola.

Our sponsor this week is Crafter's Companion... do pay them a visit.  Thanks for popping by.  Have a super crafting weekend.  It's cold and wet in Cape Town... finally we have typical August weather in the Cape.

Simply Magnolia (DT) - Pink / Brown / Cream

Hi everyone and welcome to another challenge at Simply Magnolia, where all Maggie-lovers meet.  Today we have a super challenge for you.... a colour combo of Pink, Brown and Cream.... how fab is that ?? One of my favourite colour combinations.

For the base of my card, I've chosen a cream cardstock and have used the same colour to cut my scalloped nestie from. The gorgeous DP is from one of my purchases from Crafty Emma's Store, paper pack by Prima called Annalee.  The most beautiful pack ever!  The papers are far too nice to cover completely, hence me only using the corners to embellish.  I've kept it to a minimum by using pearls from my stash and some gorgeous new cream seam binding and flowers from Creative Treasures. The postage stamp sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

Our kind sponsor this week is Phooka.  The winner of our challenge will win some digi's by Myriam. 

We love visiting you and making new friends.  Thanks for joining our previous challenge. We hope you'll be back again to join in this new one.

Thanks for popping by and happy crafting.  If you'd like to leave a comment, it would make my day!  hugs Sharon x
