Material Girl

Mine turn to set the dare over on the
DCM

'Material girl'

I would love you all to design a card inspired by a design on clothing - I know we have done inspired by clothing before but I was thinking more about being inspired by the pictures/textures/slogans/quotes on tshirts - not just limited to the colours/patterns on materials.(although, of course, they are perfectly acceptable to!'

I'm thinking ruffles,stitching/motives - but of course you can be inspired by just colours/designs if you prefer - it would be great if you have a picture of the clothing also? Hopefully I have not made it a too difficult of a challenge?


I had in mind what I wanted to make for ages- but as usual - with the pressures of running a busy home, ferrying boys to school/hockey/tennis and soccer- working full time - the only time I had was a couple of hours tonight.........and the stress was felt by all ! Andy ended up taking the photos for me at 9.50 tonight ! (10 mins till launch)

Hopefully we will get a better picture in the morning light - which I will load tomorrow- which happens to be our WEDDING ANNIVERSARY - 18 years !!!:) which I have not made a card for yet !! (blush)

Over on the DCM blog its another Friday challenge :) Its Nat's turn to set the dare and this is what she has dared........


August 1st marks Girlfriend's day - a day to celebrate that very special friend in your life, and Sister's day just happens to fall on August 2nd.

So the choice is yours, you can make a lovely card to give to your best friend, or send something to your sister - or maybe your best friend is like a sister to you, she could even actually be your sister! ;o)

My slight silhouette........

Hi all !
Its Friday again ! We have a great dare this week from over on the DCM blog- set by our lovely design team member - Rein. :)

Rein has asked for silhouettes.....
You could use a cut-out image, a stamped image or whatever you like to make them, but we'd like to see at least one silhouette on your card this week.

Ok- so I 'adapted' the theme a little and reversed the silhouette- sort off .....
heres mine- I love the black and white paper- watch this space for more cards using this paper :)

Dont forget to go check the DCM blog and see what the other design team members have created- they are wonderful !
