Creations by AR Blog Hop!

It's time for another gorgeous template release from Creations by AR! This month there are three new templates on offer and they are available now! 
I've created a gift-set using the Elegant Sole and Gift Card Purse templates. Also available is the Tray Chic template. I've used papers from Basic Grey Wisteria again and decorated with die cuts, ribbon and pearls.
Inside the purse is a great little slot to stick in a gift card, cute right?

Want to WIN a template from the new release? Leave a comment on this post telling me what your favourite type of challenge is - Creations by AR will have challenges starting in July! The winner will be randomly drawn, entries close June 29th, 12:00 noon Pacific Time.

Make sure you visit all the designers for more chances to win! Happy hopping!


Stamps: So Happy (Verve Stamps) Cardstock: Very Vanilla (SU) Paper: Wisteria (Basic Grey) Ink: Lovely Lilac, Basic Gray (SU) Dies: Pretty Posies, Faux Crochet Border (MFT Stamps) Other: Pearls (Kaisercraft), Piercing Tool

    I absolutely love the wisteria paper! Also, the embellishments you added really dress it up. I like theme challenges or those that allow me to try a new technique.
    I am a bit slow with the creative process so anything that helps me with inspiration is welcomed!
