Love - Sweet Stampin'

 Morning all!

New challenge time over at Sweet Stampin', and it is once again time for your creations celebrating love!

A super simple card from me, using some funky paper, silver mirri card and a sentiment stamp. I tried this card several different ways, and when it works it's 100% down to the paper. Flimsy cheap papers make the card look equally flimsy and cheap. This paper is super thick with a linen texture and looks absolutely brilliant in person. So my tip: Treat yourself to some fancy papers. you know you want to ;)

Over to you guys now, please do come play with us!

Have a fantabulous weekend!

Bows and/or pink - The Paper shelter

Morning all!

New challenge time over at The Paper Shelter, and this week we're looking for bows and/or pink, so perfect for a girly creation!

I used the lovely Cherie Cherry, and paired her up with some pink papers and some green organza ribbon tied in a bow!

It's definitely an image that's making me think of warmer temperatures. I'm definitely ready for spring! ;)

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!

New Beginnings - The Paper Shelter

 Morning all,

It's time for the first challenge of the year over at The Paper Shelter, and the theme is, aptly, New Beginnings. 

Instead of reaching for the new baby images like I always do, I thought I'd go for a "new home" card instead, and I chose the fab Mushroom Castle, and decided it would be fun to colour them in greyscale, and have the central house in colour to make it pop.

I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

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!

New! - Sweet Stampin'

 Morning all, and Happy New year!

The first Sweet Stampin' challenge of the year is starting right now, and we want to see something new!

You can interpret that so many ways, but I went with a card for someone who had a new addition to their family. I chose an adorable LotV stamp and papers, and made a card that included a pocket for a tag.

The sentiment on the tag is anything but new. It was a rub-on that was on a sheet of them I've had for about a dozen years or so! But I thought it fit the occasion rather well.

And now it's over to you guys! New babies, new homes, jobs or even new stash... come share them with us at Sweet Stampin'!

Have a fantabulous weekend,

Christmas break - The Paper shelter

 Morning all!

It's time for a Christmas challenge over at The Paper Shelter, and it's our last challenge of the year, so make sure you come and play!

I once again decided I wanted to play with a vintage image (The Paper Shelter has so many of them!), so I chose the gorgeous Christmas Eve Night and paired her with some pretty Christmas paper and die-cut poinsettias for a lovely vintage festive look.

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 theme for this special challenge is:

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

If you've arrived here from LORI, then you're heading in the right direction!  If not, then you'll want to pop back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, because you don't want to miss out on this one.  Both Design Teams are participating, showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter, and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice, as well as the main prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.

For my card, I used the fabulous The Queen Bee. I do so love bee-themed crafting, and this gorgeous digi is one of my favourites! I paired her with yellow papers and dark brown card, and added a die-cut bee for an extra fun detail.

From here, you will need to hop on over to SUSAN.  Don't forget to leave your comment for an opportunity to win your choice of one of the fabulous digis available in store!
