A Shaped card - The Paper Shelter

Good morning all!

New challenge time over at The Paper Shelter, and this week we're looking for shaped cards! so, put away your squares and rectangles, and play with another fun shape!

I went for a round card, and used the super funky Love is Chemistry image, to make a card for my science-loving husband.

I also added a piece of actual tree bark (cut into a fish tail) for a funky little touch. I love finding things like that to use in my cards!

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!

Utterly distressed - Sweet Stampin'

Good morning all!

New challenge time over at Sweet Stampin', and the theme this week is utterly distressed. You can interpret this any way you like (I always love Susan's take on the theme), but it will probably come as no surprise to anyone that I chose to go the shabby chic route.

Armed with a fab image from The Paper Shelter and my trusty Tim Holtz distressing tool, this is what I ended up with:

Now it's over to you guys. we hope you have fun with the theme, and don't forget to come and share with us!

Have a fantabulous weekend!

Birthday cards - The Paper Shelter

Good morning everyone!

Time for a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter, and this week we have a birthday theme! Easy peasy, no?

I used the gorgeous It's tea time digi to make a birthday card for my sister-in-law.

Isn't she fab? I loooove her outfit, and the hat reminds me of one I got my daughter a few years back - a purple tophat that she wore everywhere for quite some time! (she also has a bowler hat, a cowboy hat, 2 fedoras and a fez... she likes hats! lol)

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!

The Great Crafty bake-off! - Sweet Stampin'

Good morning stampers!

It's time for The Great Crafty bake-off down at Sweet Stampin' this week, so we'd love to see your creations featuring food!

This challenge has been a tough one for me... Not in terms of deciding what to make, that was easy, and one of my fave LotV stamps had to make an appearance for it, but tough because it has really, really made me crave cake, and of course flour can't be found for love nor money right now!

In fact, what I really fancy most of all is scones, but strong flour is even more rare than regular flour, unfortunately. (and supermarket scones are just not at all even close to good enough, lol)

So I guess I shall continue to stare at pictures of yummy cakes and tasty treats and try to fool my taste-buds into thinking they don't need any ;)

And now it's over to you guys. Show us your tasty, crafty treats and we'll come and drool over them!

Have a fantabulous weekend!

Easter - The Paper Shelter

Good morning everyone!

It's new challenge time over at The Paper Shelter, and this week we're looking for your Easter creations.

Aside from the obligatory chocolate egg for our youngest (17 now, but just you try to forget the chocolate! lol), we don't really celebrate at all, or send cards for that matter. So for my card I went as Easter-ish as I could manage, using the lovely Spring Attitude digi, and colouring her with pretty pastels, and there's a cute bunny too!

I finished it off with a pretty border and some die-cut butterflies, which I think go really well with the gorgeous papers.

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!
