Stampin' Royalty Open Call for Guest Designers!!!

Good evening all! I was browsing through blog land today and noticed that the lovely team over at Stampin' Royalty is having a Guest Design Team Call :) I so enjoy playing along with their challenge and thought it would be fun to through my name into the hat... We were asked to create and share 3 projects with them using exclusively Stampin' UP! products - so here we go!

As most of you know my passion is paper crafting but I do also really enjoy digital scrapbooking so I thought it would be fun to create two cards and one page to share with the ladies over at SR! 


Project #1 was created with the sketch from Sunday Stamps, the colour theme from ColourQ, the tic tac toe game from The Paper Players (I used Flowers, Shade of Pink & Polka Dots) and the spring theme from CASology.

Project #2 was created with the sketch from Create with Connie and Mary, the colour theme from Pals Paper Arts and the spring/flower/doily theme from Just Add Ink.

Project #3 was created with the sketch from MDS Monday. 

Take the time to let your creativity bloom!
