A Wannabe Guest Designer Post

So Create a Smile Stamps is a totally new company on the horizon and they decided to give away a Guest Designer Spot for their very first release. I was on vacation last week but I would love to be on Christine's team even for two posts! You have still time to try your luck with their freebies here.

This is the card I whipped up with some Promarkers, a chipboard stencil from Scrapfellow (I cut off a piece of it for the nest ... whoops), candydots and alphabet stamps. I put some foam adhesive under the birdie's head so that not only the nest looks 3D. The sentiment means: Hooray! You turned 1 year old! Which is obviuosly for our soon-to-be-godson in September. ;-)

Check out Create a Smile and stay tuned for their first release on 11 July. I'm sure I will!

Plus challenge:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Anything Goes

Yes, it's the bird again!

I managed to fit in this tiny tag before I leave for Croatia. The bottom part is from a packaging that used to hold some yummie chocolate with roasted green tea. You read it right! We got it from our Japanese friend who makes them. You can check out its beautiful packaging here (the 1st pic on the right).

And don't forget to check out Virginia's latest challenge that I enter this tag into. It's fabulous!

Gotta go to finish my jobs before I leave. Thank you for looking!

Sea themed card

I ran out of foam tape while making the very last side (booo), so I had to finish it with mini foam squares, which resulted in some sticking sequins... Anyway,  it was made for my brother's 23rd birthday this Wednesday and since he's all about water, I think this card is perfect. :-)
