FRIENDSHIP ...
{GDT Avenue 613 Create}

What a surprise when Jen Leeflang approached me on behalf of Chana to enquire whether I will be willing to be Avenue 613 Create's first Guest Designer. And of course how could I resist such a fun opportunity to be creative.

Avenue 613 Create is a brand new Challenge blog which is hosting their very first challenge to go live on Saturday, 6 January 2013 and the Anything Goes theme could not be easier.

So with no further ado, here is my creation with no surprises at all, its another centre step card, but this time I had an excuse for it as I was specifically requested to create a centre step design for my guest design team project.  Bugaboo is the sponsors for this challenge and I used this Friendship digi which you can purchase here.

The design papers are from FabScraps.  The folded flower embellishments were created with Scalloped Square punches.
So hop on over to Avenue 613 Create Challenge Blog and have a look at me featuring as guest designer as well as their Design Team's gorgeous creations, and oh yes, don't forget to enter!






Venturing over at the following challenges with this:
Thanks to all my wonderful faithful Followers for all the love you leave behind and may 2013 be all you want it to be.

  1. You make these stepper cards so beautifully Desire and this one is another stunner in such a lovely colour palette.

    Friendship is the theme at our Stamping Sensations challenge which started today so this one would fit in beautifully.

    Hope you have a good Sunday.
