Cards made with a freebie

Good Afternoon

I love buying card making magazines especially if they have a freebie that comes with the magazine.  Now in South Africa we do not have a magazines that focuses on card making alone (not any that I now of in any case), there are however very nice magazines that is "imported" to South Africa from other countries.  They do however only arrive about 2 months after they have been released in the country of origin.  Now the specific magazines I am talking about is the British magazines like Papercraft Inspirations, Papercraft Essentials, Simply Cards and Papercrafts etc.

So like I mentioned, I love these magazines as there is always a free gift with the magazine.  Today I want to show you some cards that I made with my freebie that I received with the latest
Papercraft Inspiration  (June issue here in South Africa - the August issue is already available offer there) issue that I bought about a week ago.  I just fell in love with the "Me to You" chipboard collection and paper stack.  The first few cards that I made I stuck to their suggestions.












Sorry about the amount of photo's, but I so enjoyed making these. 

Have a fabulous day.
Hugs,

Totally Gorjuss - Something yellow

Good Morning

I have made a new card and I would like to share it with you.  I made this card for the Totally Gorjuss - something yellow, challenge.  The challenge was to make a card using yellow.  So here is my take on it.

I used the Edwin wants a hug stamp from Magnolia.  The papers I used came as a gift with a magazine.  This stack came from the Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine and the paper stack is called "Travel light" from We R Memory Keepers.  I just love this stack of papers it is ideal for boy/men cards.
