I'm excited to be joining the talented ladies at CASology today as guest designer after my interactive engagement card won me the chance for a second time :0) I'm pretty sure you'll love the cue word for this weeks challenge....
As you probably can tell I like to skirt round the obvious themes that come to mind and look for something a little different..... well, I recently found these sequins in my daughters room whilst rummaging through her crafty stash for something else, (oops... she reads this blog!!) and when I saw them in my 'must use these' box, an idea was born....
Now this photo is looking rather blurry to me and I'm hoping it's just my rubbish monitor!!... but I'm sure you don't need me to point out the hexagons in the sequins anyhow :0) This new Memory Box die was on my desk so I just trimmed the head of the stalks and replaced it with sequins... which are a pretty pastel green but look a lot paler in the photo :0)
I think they imitate the flowers pretty well and YAY me for being on trend for once without having to buy stash!!
I want to say thanks to Melissa for the pleasure of joining the DT this week and urge you to go and visit the DT's wonderful creations over at the CASology blog, hope you can play along too :0)
Thanks for stopping by

ReplyDeleteClever - I love to do that too and I admit at first I thought you had linked up the wrong card! lol! I love your shimmery little hexes! Great to have you as GD this week!
ReplyDeleteJenny, you always come up with the most creative think-outside-the-box ideas! This is no exception! I LOVE it when people do that!! :) I laughed out loud when you showed me what you'd come up with!
ReplyDeleteWe're so happy to have you joining us for another round as guest designer at CASology! You really are a creative genius! :)
No wonder you are a guest designer--what a clever and creative way to use a hexagon. And, good for you for shopping your stash!
ReplyDeleteNow here's a fabulous use for sequins!!! You might just get me to add to my stash, though, darn it! I love the white-on-white & the SUPER sneaky hexagons :)
ReplyDeleteYour creative thinking is amazing Jenny, this is brilliant! I can never get out of my box:)

ReplyDeleteWhat a genius response to the hexagon challenge, Jenny! The card is stunning, and the sequins are the perfect topper for the die.

ReplyDeleteI love how you think outside the box, and using the sequins for your hexagons is just brilliant! I love the black and white color combo, too...it's so strikingly beautiful!
Oh wow... you are so clever Jenny. This looks fabulous and I just love your 'out of the box' use of hexagons :)

ReplyDeleteYet another fabulous example of your creative thinking Jenny. I admire you and yearn to have even a tenth of your genius.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your guest DT spot Jenny and of course you've come through with a real winner! I love the thinking behind your hexagons! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteI was thinking - where are the hexagons? But doh -of course, in the middle of the sequins. Way to think outside (or should that be inside Hannah's) box ;-)
ReplyDeleteTara

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! Just awesome!
ReplyDeleteJenny, you never cease to amaze! Of COURSE sequins are shaped like hexagons, they are all the rage right now...it just never dawned on me to use them! That's why you are the queen of thinking outside the box! So glad to have you guest designing this week at CASology!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! i love the pale color of the sequins...they stand out but don't overpower that gorgeous diecut.
ReplyDeleteEeek, I love it! Sequins ... who noticed they had hexies?! Now I will always see them, and think of you : )
