And our FABulous Featured Guest Designer for the month of August!

Ceal Pritchett

Stampin' Royalty Guest Designer!!!

As you all know I was away on holiday the past month and though I had planned to keep up with my blogging while I was away, but life took over and I just could not find the time!

I was so thrilled to be a Guest Designer over at Stampin' Royalty this month. I so enjoy playing along with this lovely team on a weekly basis so to be a part of the fun even if just for a short while was fabulous :)

Here are the projects I created for the past several challenges...

Card #1 was created for challenge #288, by the sea theme

Card #2 was created for challenge #289, rainbow theme 

Card #3 was created for challenge #290, featuring a fancy fold

And that brings us to today's challenge #291, we are working with the following colour combination: Hello Honey, Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss & Very Vanilla. I thought this week I would shake it up and create a CAS digital card.
