So, today, its a VERY special day! 12 years ago, Kylie and I were married! I can't believe that time has passed by so quickly.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to my dear sweet beautiful wife!! 

Before I get to the challenges, I wanted to take a stroll down memory lane. This week, I've been tidying up when I came across some of my early scrapbook pages. Now, the topic of these pages just happened to be our wedding! So, I thought I would share these with you. Id say they date back to 2004.




It seems like a lifetime ago. It was a great day. And, we have had a great life since then Kylie. Thank-You!

Now, on with the show.... Today, Im playing combining the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches with the Pals Paper Arts. Below are both of the inspirations the week;


And, here is the card that I ended up with;

Things I love about this card

Butterfly Framelits - These are so detailed and crisp. I used the precision base plate which makes it heaps easier when using framelits with lots of details. I love how it looks in Vellum too. I had done it using a solid card stock, but it overpowered the card, so it was perfect using the vellum.



Epoxy Stickers - These are soooooo cool. They just add a small pop - like a droplet of water.

Fabulous Four Stamp Set - The stamp usually says 'Its YOUR day,' however, I masked off the 'Y' and it went from YOUR to OUR day. I love the font and I think it looks cool using the white emboss on Chocolate Chip.



Colours - Im a real fan of how these look together. Ive assembled an image to highlight this combo and the card together below;

As I sat down to craft today, I started to think about vacation last year. One of the places that we visited was Mexico and we toured the historic city Chichen Itza. When walking the ruins of the ancient Mayan civilisation, I was just amazed that people lived among those ancient structures. It was amazing to reflect on that day ...... and so this was the inspiration for making my card today. Well, that and the challenge I entered. Hahahahaha!

Today, Im playing along with the team at Freshly Made Sketches. It was a sketch challenge this week, and below, I have included a copy of the sketch provided;


And, this is the card that I ended up with;

Things I love about my card;

Card Collection - The card collection is called 'Lets Get Away' and if filled with COOL images and illustrations. They are bright and colourful. I picked this card as it had all four of the colours that I wanted to highlight.


Stamp Set - This set is ALSO named 'Lets Get Away' and is designed as a collection that matches. There are lots of small stamps that can be used in journalling etc. or stand-alone as I have used on the card today.



Rotary Stamp - I LOVE this! One of the stamps in the collection also has the sentiment 'Never Stop Exploring' but it wasn't the right shape for the card. So, I white embossed on Melon Mambo to really make the sentiment POP!


Colours - I've put together an image to show these colours and that image is below;

The sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches this week intrigued me because so much of the card front was covered. So, my goal was to make a Clean and Simple Card using this sketch. Speaking of the sketch, here it is....


And, here is my card....


I really like this card. Like really! A lot!


I confess that I made a mistake. Notice how on the sketch, the two panels are on the right side - after I had stuck it down, I realised I had made the mistake. And, so i decided that it would be 'my interpretation' of the sketch. Lol!


When I was looking through our DSP collection, I came across the 'Go Wild' set and I LOVED it! It has White, Black and Tip Top Taupe - three of my faves. And, the sheet I chose just happened to have all three. So, they were my choice for this card - but WHITE was going to be the star!


I used the circle framelit to cut the 'window' out and affixed the DSP to the black cardstock layer. I then affixed the white top layer to the black layer using dimensionals. The sentiment is also fixed using dimensionals. The sentiment is from the 'Words of Truth' set. I love that set!
