Crafty Catz DT Call - Celebrate

Hi girls over on Crafty Catz they have a place up for grabs on their Design Team. So i am taking up the challenge so keep your fingers crossed for me. The theme is Celebrate you have to have somewhere on your entry the word "Celebrate" The Challenge blog is a fairly new one but has been well received so i am expecting lots of competition for this valuable place.

Here it is my very 1st Easel card made for my sister in law. I had a small set of Stampin Up stamps that has the words in a block friends, thanks, celebrate and birthday. Well haven't used the celebrate before so cracked open the case and inked it up on one of my label nesties. Image is from a friend. Papers are from stash. Gems are papermanina as is the Gem Brads. Coloured with my promarkers. White rose is inside one of those ribbon gift bow things you add to your parcels. Added a touch of pink glitter to the rose. Sorry picture doesn't show it up too well. Paper is Basic Grey. On the reverse i made a small pocket so i could fold some money up and slide it in.

Well thanks for your time in reading this and wish me luck

Kimmies Girls

Hi well have posted both these cards on the same post as they have the same layout from Stampin for the Weekend . Sketch designed by Nancy, and dont they look soo different. Got these images in a Rak from a dear friend on docrafts was sooo surprised when they arrived on my door step been wanting to play with them since they came out but with christmas round the corner resisted but only just.
