Thursday Inspirations - Scrapper's Delights 19th January 2017


Hi, my Thursday inspiration is a card using Amelia School Girl and CU Back to School Freebie 2.
It is a great time over at http://scrappersdelights.com/store/ because there is a sale on with up to 50% off. Amelia is on sale and the Back to School books I have used behind Amelia, is actually free at the moment and you get the coloured version which I have used and a lined version to colour yourself.  I used an old dictionary page for the background and Amelia has foam tape under her to make her pop a little.  The embellishments are from my large stash, you know those things you collect hoping you will use them some day. The scroll came from the shapes in Publisher and I made the text up myself.  Amelia is a great digi to use for school cards.  I like to have some thank you cards for teachers in my collection for my grandchildren to use.  Thank you for checking out my blog this week and don't forget the sale over at Scrapper's Delights.
The challenges I am going to enter this card in are:

Scrapper's Delights Thrifty Thursday 5th January 2017


Welcome to our first challenge for 2017.  Head over to Scrappers Delights* https://www.facebook.com/groups/376140345820051/ and request your January Progressive Freebie, the lovely Lily Pad and then check out http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=89 to see what image might be suitable for the lily pad.  You have lots to choose from as the pad is so versatile  and Janice has a great sale on at the moment as a thank you for her Facebook Group reaching the 3000 member mark.  What an achievement!  The image I have used came from  Fantasy Folk section http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89_90&products_id=392 but I am sure when looking you might find a frog, a fairy, a princess or maybe something else that will feel quite at home on that lily pad.  Don't forget to take advantage of the sale - it's a beauty.  By the way I forgot to mention my card is an easel card and I am using the resin alphas to hold the card in place.  If you are interested drop me a line and I can let you know the Etsy shop I purchase them from.  https://www.facebook.com/gail.hutchinson.9. Thank you for looking at my card and I hope I have inspired you to get cracking on those lily pad creations.  Bye for now.

I will be entering the following challenges with my creation:
