Happy Birthday to Sweet Stampin!

 Morning all,

13 may be unlucky for some, but when it comes to crafty challenge blogs, being 13 years old is quite the achievement! So come and help Sweet Stampin' celebrate 13 years of crafty goodness, by sharing your birthday themed crafty projects with us!

For my card, I have a commission for a 60th birthday to share (Sweet stamping' isn't quite there yet! but who knows...).

The brief was girly and sparkly, and I think I managed to achieve that with feminine colours/designs and silver glitter card to mat and accent.

Now it's over to you guys. we're looking forward to celebrating our birthday with you all!

Have a fantabulous day!

Show me some Bling! - The Paper Shelter

 Morning all,

Time to get out your gems and sparkles, and show us some bling over at The Paper shelter. 

I used some sparkly gems on my Christmas card, featuring the Christmas Decorations digi. If you like the retro style of the digi, it's also available in the Christmas ladies bundle, which has a few more vintage/retro style images inside. I love this set, and have used the images several times each already.

I paired her up with some Christmas papers, and added a gold ribbon for some extra sparkle.

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!

Fantasy - The paper shelter

 Morning all!

Another week, another challenge over at The Paper Shelter, and this week we have a fun theme for you, which is fantasy!

There are oh so many fantasy images on The Paper Shelter's website, but eventually I settled on the Newborn Baby Dragon digi for my card.

Isn't he the cutest? I thought he made a great birthday card for a youngster, and I even found some bling that looks a bit like a dragon scale if you squint a little, 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!).

Halloween - Sweet Stampin'

 Good morning all,

It's that time of year again, and time for the Hallowe'en challenge over at Sweet Stampin'.

For my card, I had a lot of fun playing with last year's Tim Holtz supplies...

The text stamps were perfect for adding a little interest to the background, and I just love, love, love that skull! (In fact, I've just now had an idea for a Marvel-related card... Must dig out my red Promarkers! ;) )

Now it's your turn. Come share your spooky (or spooky-cute) makes with us over at Sweet Stampin', we'd love to see them!

Have a fantabulous day,

alter it! - The Paper Shelter

 Morning all!

This week's challenge is a fun one. We're looking for you to take an image and alter it in some way. for my card, I decided to take the funky Cool Skater, and crop the image, so as just to have the girl looking over her shoulder to make a very CAS card.

The light wasn't great when I took the picture, but the card is a lovely turquoise, and I coloured her to match, then added a sentiment to finish the card. It's not often I go this CAS (to be honest, white space scares me, lol!), but it's good to go outside your comfort zone from time to time, I think.

 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!

Buttons and/or bows - The Paper Shelter

 Morning all! 

Yep, time again for a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter, and I for one really enjoyed this week's theme of buttons and/or bows.

Because Christmas is approaching rather faster than I'd like, I used the fab It's Cold Out There for my card, along with some pretty Maja Design papers, and a handful of embellishments in complementary colours (if you look carefully, there's a button on the tulle flower!). I really love blue/white/kraft as a colour combination, especially for Christmas!

 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!

Christmas in September - Sweet Stampin'

 Morning all,

Yes, it's that time again. the time were some of us (ok, definitely me, don't know about you guys...) look at their stack of cards ready for Christmas and realise that instead of the towering stack we were expecting, there are only two... Oops!

So if you're anything like me and would like to do something about that, this week's challenge over at Sweet Stampin' is for you, as the theme is Christmas in September!

For my card I used a digi from The Paper Shelter and some papers that came as a magazine freebie about a decade ago (when I still got magazines, lol) and had some fun matching and layering.

Over to you guys!

Have a fantabulous weekend!
