Cuttlebug Challenges Be Inspired #27

Boy, the weeks are just flying by don't you think?! We're onto another Wednesday, so that's another Be Inspired challenge for Cuttlebug Challenges and this week the challenge is Cuttlebug and Numbers. Here's what I came up with.


It took a little while to come up with this as I'm struggling a little to find the inspiration at the moment, but thankfully I got there in the end! My first thoughts with this challenge were to do a card, as I have a 40th birthday to make for next month and then it's my eldest brother's 50th birthday in July, but they just didn't happen! You know how it is sometimes! Anyway, after rattling my brain around for a while and thinking what numbers were significant, inspiration struck with phone numbers! So I dug around and found this Paperchase address book and set too to transform it.


I think Shannon's great Kraft/black/white clean and simple challenge must have been at the back of my mind when I got my materials together for this! I first of all printed some Pink Petticoat black polka dots onto some kraft card and cut this to size, rounding the corners in the process. The white section is Core'dinations embossed with Swiss Dots. The plain chipboard numbers from my stash were stuck to some Black Magic Core'dinations that had a Kraft coloured core, cut out, run through the Swiss Dots folder, then the dots gently sanded to reveal the core before finally being stuck in place on the cover. Finishing touches are MM black felt alpha, MM tiny alpha stickers, Papermania flowers and felt trim, button, string and ribbons from stash. In a little more detail...

All in all I was very pleased with how this turned out considering my mojo has gone A.W.O.L.! If anybody sees it on their travels will they please send it back my way! Thank you!

So, now it's your turn to see what you can come up with Cuttlebug and numbers! We'd love to see what you create and don't forget that there is a lovely prize for the winner from Elles Studio, a great set of calendars.
