forever friends: matchbox

This week at the forever friends challenge we challenge you to use a matchbox in your forever friends creation. This challenge is being sponsored by I am Roses with a fabulous prize up for grabs for one random winner.


I used an extra large matchbox to make my gift box, which I will use to give money as a gift for my niece's birthday.

Watch out for our extra monthly challenge coming soon on forever friends, on the first Thursday of every month we will issue a monthly challenge. This means you have a whole month to take part, and there's still prizes up for grabs. This will run alongside the fortnightly challenges. So hopefully there's something for everyone!

forever friends recipe challenge

On the forever friends challenge this week we challenge you to use 2 Papers, 3 flowers and 1 button with your forever friends creations.

The challenge is sponsored by I am Roses, and you can see some of their flowers on this piece (and surrounding it) There is a fabulous prize up for grabs.

I was messing about seeing if I could turn a 5x5 card into a simple gift bag. The bear is coloured with pencils and blended with a blender pencil.

forever friend: Easel Card

This week at Forever friends we challenge you to make an easel card. We have a fabulous sponsor, I am Roses.



I am really enjoying playing with the flowers that the team were sent, and decided to make my bear hold one of the roses (which come on the wire) I did this, by stamping the bear's arm again and sandwiching the stem between the two arms using silicon glue.


I have made my "stopper" flat to the card, and added a tab to my top piece which slots under the topper.

Forever friends sketch challenge

This week we are being sponsored by I am Roses again for our sketch challenge. The gorgeous flowers on this card were provided by I am Roses, and there is a gorgeous collection to win.
