Inspired by a card

Last weekend I had two family members with birthdays. In my usual fashion I had presents and no cards, so rather than run to the shop I pulled out my papers and came up with the two cards below. 



 I was really happy with the colours and simplicity of the brighter card and later decided to use it as inspiration for a layout.



The other exciting thing this week is the new blog some Aussie Girls have put together.  Those of you who love simple scrapbooking will love this.  Check it out here.

This week they posted their first blog challenge.  Below is my interpretation.  Thanks for the inspiration girls.






Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back soon with some more layouts.
