Challenge 67 New Beginnings

Hello this is Lisa and I'm here to share my first challenge. I have a lot of friends getting married, moving house and having babies so it would have been silly of me to pick a theme that wasn't NEW BEGINNINGS. I would love to see you create something to celebrate a New Beginning. I've already given a couple of suggestions above, but the possibilties are endless...New Job, Graduation, Retirement, etc, etc.

Now onto the fantastic inspiration from the DT:

Elaine
I used Sarah Hurley papers and Postcard as my journalling tag

Claireliz.

This is the first page in a new creative journal, I used Sarah's Spray Inks, Black for the splats in the background & candyfloss pink to colour the corrugated card hearts, I also used papers from the Sarah's Craft Basics Collection for the collaged circles & the Blue Polka Dot Paper from the Britannia CD with the Woodland Whimsies Stamp Set for the clouds as well as words cut from the Steampunk CD word & alpha sheet.

Emma

I used papers from Sarah's Britannia CD and combined them with Tim Holtz Alterations dies to make this Bon Voyage card.

Jaine

I used an assortment of Sarah Hurley papers to decorate my journal page. 

Lisa

I've used pastel papers from Sarah's Craft Basics Collection to create a New Baby card. I've tried to keep the colours neutral as our friends baby isn't due until September and they don't know what they're having.

Melly

I mad this wee Baby's Buggy using the gorjuss Purple Gingham Basic Collection

Challenge 65 Take me HOME.

Hi there it's Jaine here bringing you this next challenge.

At the moment I have such a 'thing' for houses you wouldn't believe and it shows no signs of stopping either.  So it naturally followed that as it's my turn to set the challenge I'd choose houses or home as a theme.  

I want to see houses or castles, whatever you think of as "home" or maybe just the word HOME on a project, whatever comes to mind.

As usual the DT have provided some fantastic and diverse inspiration below to get you going.

Here's mine:

I made myself a mini journal and cut the little house from papers from the Brittannia CD - shrunk to fit on the computer.

EMMA

I used papers and the layered blossoms, to create 3D blooms from Sarah's fabulous new Britannia CD to make my "New Home" card and combined them with some Tim Holtz Alterations die cuts.

Claireliz
I found this unloved printers tray in a charity shop so I rescued it & altered it using Sarah's fantastic new Brittania CD. I used a Tim Holtz Alterations die for the Keyhole, I also added some little crochet flowers & a fabric flower that I made for embellishments. I turned the tiny photos into faux polaroids by mounting them on white cardstock.

Clare

The papers,image,sentiment and the bunting are from Sarah's Britania cd, the collection is called English Country garden.Punches are xcut, MS and the oval and circle die is from spellbinders.

Elaine
I used Sarah Hurley papers from the OZ cd to create a paper pieced 3D castle card.
