Halloween - The Paper Shelter

Good morning all,

Time for a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter, and it will probably come as no surprise that the theme this week is Halloween. I have actually spent the past couple of days making goodie bags for the neighbourhood kiddies, but still have sooooooo many to do! (we usually get between 50-150 trick-or-treaters!)

In the meantime, I used the gorgeous My adorable little witch and Matching with Halloween papers to make a card for my neighbour (who is completely Halloween nuts!) A couple of added die-cuts give it just the right spooky feel, I think.

I really love this image, and she was so much fun to colour! The digi papers are just gorgeous too.


So now it's your turn! Come and play with us over at The Paper Shelter, and you could win an amazing $30 gift voucher if you use an image from The Paper Shelter. And if you enter with a different brand image, you can still win three TPS digis of your choice (which you can then use to enter the next challenge, and so be eligible for the $30 voucher!).

Feature a creature - Sweet Stampin'

Morning all!

Ohhhh, this week's challenge over at Sweet Stampin' is a really fun one! The theme is Feature a Creature, so think animals, or Halloween, or fantasy, or... well, there are so many things that could be considered "creatures"!

I went with a dragon! because dragons are fun. I also love this digi from The Paper shelter, and this was a perfect excuse to use it :)

Along with some fab First Edition papers and a LotV sentiment, I think my "creature" is pretty fun. I mean, a meditating dragon? Love it!

Now it's over to you guys!

Have a fantabulous weekend!

Autumn Colours - Sweet Stampin'

Good morning all!

Time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin', and this week we're going with the ever fun colours of autumn theme!

I think I already mentioned this recently, but I just love playing with autumn colours, so for my card I broke out the Distress inks and a lovely stamp from Art by Marlene and made a card with lovely autumnal colours.

I'm not usually a big fan of colouring animals, but this fox was really fun to work with!

Now it's over to you guys. we hope you'll come play with us!

Have a fantabulous weekend!

Music and dance - The Paper Shelter

Good morning folks!

Time for another new challenge at The Paper Shelter, and this week's theme is Music and Dance.

For my card, I used this gorgeous digi called The Music Practice, It was one of the first ones I owned, and I thought she really looked like my daughter's best friend. The young lady in question likes to dye her hair unusual colours, so I used that as inspiration for colouring her.

I didn't have the colour I wanted for her clothes, but in the end managed to get the effect I wanted by blending a blue and a pink together. The photo hasn't quite picked up the subtleties of the blend that you can see in person, but I will definitely be using the same combo again, as I LOVE the effect.


So now it's your turn! Come and play with us over at The Paper Shelter, and you could win an amazing $30 gift voucher if you use an image from The Paper Shelter. And if you enter with a different brand image, you can still win three TPS digis of your choice (which you can then use to enter the next challenge, and so be eligible for the $30 voucher!).

Hope you have a fantabulous day!

Animals - Sweet Stampin'

Morning all,

Time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin', and this week the theme is a very easy animals,

Now I usually prefer people images, but this time I went with one that combines both!

You know, my daughter used to have a toy worm/caterpillar type creature when she was a baby. She called it Wriggles. Then at about 1 1/2 she chose herself a pink teddy when out shopping in town, which she named Cuddles. Wriggles has long since been abandoned, but Cuddles still has pride of place by her pillow. Never mind that she's almost 20; some friends you just hang on to!
As far as I can recall she never had an octopus, but still, this digi from The Paper Shelter really brought back memories for me :)

Right, over to you. Come share your animal makes with us this week. We're looking forward to see them!

Have a fantabulous day!
