Creative Belli Challenge Wedding/Engagement Card

What a perfect time for the challenge that Darsie of the Creative Belli Challenge has offered!  This is the perfect time of the year for engagements and weddings.  I made this card for my next door neighbor's son whose engagement party is next Sunday.

Remember the spirit of the Creative Belli Challenge is for you to use something that you have not used in a while or some older stash or tool.  This is to encourage you to use what you have and not buy something new.  Please let us know what older item you have used.  It will encourage and challenge others to do the same.

My "older" is the paper.  I love Webster Pages paper and I hoard it like crazy!  I even have a separate box where I often just look at it!  Well, I parted with some for this special occasion.  The stamp is from Repeat Impressions.  Isn't it a great sentiment!  The stamped frame is from Gina K Designs and the die cut frame is from Spellbinders.

Darsie would like for you to make a wedding or engagement card and link it to the Creative Belli Challenge blog.

Here is the list of Designers who have made something to inspire you.

Thank you for looking at my card - have a HAPPY stamping day.

Creative Belli Challenge 143 Baby

Darsie, the owner of Creative Belli Challenge has challenged us to make a Baby card, baby shower or announcement card.  Remember part of the Creative Belli challenge is to use some old or forgotten about embellishment or tool.

This bottom half of this card was made from a stationary card someone sent me long ago and I just could not throw it away.  The top part is dp from my sister.  The little brad is one I dug up from the bottom of my brad box.  The little scallop piece under the ribbon is a VERY old piece of Laura Ashley paper -- not sure if they are even into printing paper anymore.
Darsie would like to challenge everyone to make a Baby card, baby shower or announcement card.  Be sure to let us know what your "old or forgotten embellishment is.  For each challenge, we will choose the one card that WOW'd us and closely followed the theme! If you are chosen as a Belle, you will be asked to be a Guest Designer for one of our challenges and have a badge to proudly post on your blog!

Here is the list of Designers that made projects to inspire you.


Good luck - this will be a fun challenge!
Thank you for looking at my card - Have a HAPPY stamping day.
