Hi there, it's that time of the week........
and as it's my turn to host this weeks challenge, I thought I would choose an easy one!
Since Christmas, I've been using my Silhouette Cameo quite a lot on most of my creations, which means some of my older and favourite 'go to' tools have been neglected.
For this reason, I thought it would be fun to get back to my roots and use one of the staples I would previously never have created anything without......punches!
I decided to choose one of my faves and run with it.
I think this butterfly punch from Martha Stewart was one of the first I ever bought, and it's certainly earned it's keep!
The picture frame was sketched and cut using my Silhouette - I still had to get my fix in there somewhere!
I'm sure you all have a fair few punches hiding in your stash, so why not enter this weeks challenge and let's see them put to work!
Don't forget to link up your creations over on the blog, and why not check out the inspiring projects from the rest of the Girlfriends too?
Have fun and I hope to see you again Friday,
Jayne.x.
Yep, that just about covers it for this weeks challenge over at...........
Joanne would like to see a little 'less is more' for her Clean and Simple challenge.
Ahhh it almost feels like a reprieve when these challenges come along - no guilt associated with quashing that need to add more!
Nope, just enjoy a little colouring, a snippet of an embellie here or there and Bob's your Uncle you're done.
Here goes:
I played with my Cameo again.....cut a section from a 12" x 12" background,added a border then used it as an overlay(believe me, this is a major accomplishment in my book!).
The pretty little lady from Saturated Canary is coloured with Copic's and fussy cut for me by my electronic assistant......that's just a fancy way of me saying I figured out another button in the software!
Oh, I did manage to design and cut the pennant too, then used a Sketch pen to add the sentiment and the outline.......WOW.....3 new buttons in one day!
That's about all from me so all you need is 10 minutes to join in with this weeks challenge. Link up over on the blog and check out the beautifully 'clean and simple' projects from the rest of the Girlfriends while you're there.
Have a great day and I'll see you Friday with a layout cause I have a couple of scrappy dates planned this week......seriously hoping to get my fingers dirty if inspiration strikes!
Ttfn,

Hi there.
I'm sorry I've been AWOL the last few days........I really did mean to post and I have things to share, but I had a minor surgery on my hand on Monday which has made crafting a little awkward and everything else generally slow going!
Things are on the mend so till then I guess I'll just be moving at a slower pace (slower than normal I hear my Mother say!) even though I have plenty of projects I need to get finished up.
Had to drop in today though as it's Wednesday which means it's time for a new challenge over at Little Red Wagon.
This weeks challenge has been issued by Joanne, and she has told us to 'think Spring' and issued the following as colour inspiration.........
So no sooner said than done, here's my 'Spring'like (one handed!) creation.
Yes, there he is, the little guy most wanted for fraud right now, having convinced us all Spring was right around the corner.......have ya looked out of the window?!
I kept things fairly simple for obvious reasons, but I'm growing to like the clean simplicity of this. Just don't look too closely at the fussy cutting - it's a little tricky to cut and hold paper with teeny tiny scissors when you have a bunch of gauze wrapped around your fingers.
The two separate digi's are from Meljens.......eons old probably, and colouring is with Copic's.
If you feel like joining along with this weeks challenge, don't forget to upload your creation to the blog.
Whilst you're there, check out the other gorgeous Spring creations from the rest of the girlfriends.
That's it from me.....typing with one hand and one finger is more than a pain in the you know what!
Have a great day and I'll see you soon,
Jayne.x.
