Creative kids

Happy Friday everyone!

This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog we've been challenged to create a project for the kids in our lives.

Well, the timing could not have been better!

My god daughter turns 3 tomorrow so I had good inspiration for my project this week. :)

I'm hoping she is still quite partial to owls too...

Paper: October Afternoon
Stamp: PTI
Dies: Lil' Inker Designs, PTI
Other: felt owl, twine, 3D foam tape

I rescued this little owl from one of the lovely birthday cards sent to me by a friend this year - I loved that card and I knew the little felt owl would make another birthday girl rather happy. :) So there she is peeking out of the tree.

Definitely check out the blog to see the other fun and creative ideas from the design team! :D

In other news I have been on a bit of a shopping spree of late and must now do some wardrobe clear outs to make room for new autumnal outfits - timely delivery of some charity bags through the door would be good.And thankfully some of those new outfits will go nicely with my OPI Nordic colours which officially came out of summer hibernation yesterday since autumn is well and truly here:

I have also had some craft-related spending, the first of which was a birthday gift certificate that went towards some lovely new papers from Hey Little Magpie:

Most of the new Elle's Studio Joyful collection is in their - love their designs and colours for Christmas/Winter.

I also added some versatile dot and stripe sheets, plus the wood inlay pattern from the new Jen Hadfield DIY Home line for Pebbles.

And some Festive basics from this year's Simple Stories Claus & Co.

Other craft-related spending was well... impulsive but a long-time coming and in the planning...

I've got a quiet day on the work front before heading out for a hair appointment and lunch with my mum, and depending on how the afternoon goes I'm hoping to be back at my desk not too late in the day so that I can sit down and actually make something.

Busy weekend ahead so got to make the most of any free time today! :D

Have a fun and crafty weekend!

Lovely card, Nat - got to love that little felt owl - you are so generous to be parting with it! (Is it a finger puppet? If not then there's another idea for you hehe)
