We had to make a tag or make a card with a tag on it using a stamp from a company that The Stamp Spot sells.

My card for Scrapbook Boutique November challenge

Just finished my card just in time for the November challenge at Scrapbook Boutique
http://scrapbookboutiquenews.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/a-new-challenge-has-started.html

 This was the inspiration and the challenge was to make an all white card

I embossed white card with Cuttlebug "Christmas stars" and added white ribbon.  I stamped Stamp It "Herald Angel" and Hero Arts "Happy Christmas" on white velum with versamark and heat embossed with Stampin Up white embossing powder.  Attached to card with white brads.  The card is all white but looks a bit grey in parts on the scan.  My scanner is not the best.

my cards for Flutter By Wednesday's

I made three birthday cards yesterday with one of my new stamps: Wags 'n' whiskers rubber stamps "Rhiannon" and paper from Prima Firefly Collection 6x6 paper stack plus washi tape and Stampin Up greetings on the first two cards.  I have just found another challenge site
http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/flutter-by-wednesday-212.html
Their challenge for this week is anything goes as long as it has a fairy or butterfly on it.

The washi tape on this 3rd card is actually mauve/purple but my scanner has not scanned it the correct colour.  On the first two cards the fairy's dress is actually a prettier pink.  Also I have cleaned the glass but there are still marks on the scan.  It must be scratches from embellishments from previous scans or on the inside of the scanner.
