6th Birthday

Unikostudio is turning 6 and to celebrate they have a

'Birthday challenge'

I made something rather different this time

 

I hand cut the balloon and added some baker's twine as string. The little 'droplets' are the centres of the letters of the sentiment.

 

I will also be entering this at Simon says stamp blog Wednesday challenge' where it's

'Anything goes'

 

and at Time out challenges where it's

Tartan

Well I survived the first week back at school and my classroom is starting to have a resemblance of order to it so I guess the new year has well and truly started.

Freshly made sketches have a new sketch. Here it is

 

  and my take on it. Once again I've turned the sketch side ways.

 

 

I initially stitched a 'one' in the top right corner but it didn't turn out too well so I just cut it off, hence the strange shape of the topper. To make the card look more balanced I added the little tartan bow with the faces.

Pop

Well the first week of my Holidays is over.

One of the jobs I had on my To-do list is to start my Christmas card stock and I have been working on that this week. I have battled to get motivated about Christmas this year but once I sat down and started working, it was amazing how the ideas have flowed. You'll be see lots on them in the near future.

On to my card.

I coloured the balloons with pastel pencils which I then smudged.

I am entering this into the CASology challenge where the cue card is 

I hope that these balloons don't actually POP anywhere near a baby!
