The Sentimental Sundays challenge this week is "Anything Goes" (with a sentiment) - it doesn't get much easier than this, you can let your creativity flow & make what you like! It was our 27th wedding anniversary on Thursday (I was a child bride lol) unfortunately I didn't feel that good (& we both worked late) so not much celebrating was done & I wanted to make something different instead of a card for my lovely hubby Mark. I've never made an exploding box so I thought I'd have a go, I used THIS template & really enjoyed making it. The papers are from Designer digitals & printed on to both sides of some thin card, I cut a couple of hearts from the papers & stitched it together & made a springy thing using a couple of strips of card. The sentiments are from TLC again. There is lots of inspiration from the DT as usual & don't forget the weekly freebie too!
ALSO as it is Sentimental Sundays 1st Anniversary you have several chances to win a fantastic digital sentiment set of your choice from Rainbdrop Echo Designs Whimsy Stamps digital collection by commenting on each DT member's post (every member will be giving away set) & that's not all... we are having a DT call too so if you would like to be part of our fab team check out the post on the main blog :o)
