Challenge #375 - Girl Power - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, here in the UK we are definitely having problems with out Spring, one minute the sun is out and its warm, but the next its raining, windy and cold again so this weeks theme is all about

Girl Power

So how you use this on your card will be up to you, but I believe us Girls are always ready to cope with most things that arrive in our lives.

And you will find some beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from to. Our Sponsors are and as always our sponsers are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.

But don't forget they will only give you the whole amount if you have used one of their images on your card but don't worry if you haven't, they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice if you are picked as a winner.

And for my own card I chose to use this image

This little lady is titled "Karate Girl" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a Tonic circle die to cut her out and then used a fancy one for the mount out of a blue card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of the same blue card as I used for the image, and the backing paper is also from the same design set as the image, and you will find it here.
I then created the sentiment from something I found on the internet and printed it onto white card before also mounting this on the same coloured cards and the image.

Now that you've seen my card I do hope you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created with this theme "Girl Power" and I hope they will inspire you to take part in this Challenge.

Challenge #373 - Let it be Spring - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, can you believe that in the last week weve had some beautiful Spring Weather and all my snowdrops and crocus have bloomed and it was so warm we were able to turn of the central heating and keep the back door open, and it certainly benefited us with trying to potty train our new pup who is getting us up and a unearthly hour of 5am, not very helpful for us over 70s.
Anyway this weeks theme is one Im sure you will love as it opens lots of doors for your choice of images so it is

Let it be Spring

For me its the best time of the year watching new growth appear and the lighter evenings and hopefully it wont be long before we can leave the heating of altogether.

And you will find some beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from to. Our Sponsors are and as always our sponsers are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.

But don't forget they will only give you the whole amount if you have used one of their images on your card but don't worry if you haven't, they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice if you are picked as a winner.

And for my own card I chose to use this image

this image is titled "Refreshing Break" and you will find it here, I thought this image was so like my eldest daughter and her loves it was ideal for this theme and I printed the image onto white card before colouring it with my copic pens, then I cut it out with a Nestabilitie die and used a fancy one for the mount.
The base card is a 6.60" x 6.50" white one with a first mount out of green card and the backing paper is also from the same set at the image and you will find it here. In the top left hand corner I have used a die-cut cheery blossom die with flowers and on top of the flowers I used some pearls.
The sentiment is one from my stash that I have stamped and mounted also onto a piece of the same green card.

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well here we are another fortnight has flown by and this weeks theme is all about

Things that Fly

This image is titled "Ducklings" and you will find it here, I printed it onto white card before colouring it with my copic pens. Afterwards I used my rectangle die to cut it out and a fancy one out of yellow card for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash and I stamped it onto a smaller and then used another of the same die set to mount it on.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of yellow card and the backing paper from the same design as the image and you will find it here. But before placing my mounted image in the center I cut a blue corner with a Memory Box die of puddles and placed this in the bottom left hand corner. Then my mounted image was placed center with the sentiment which has been stamped onto white card mounted in the bottom right hand corner.

Challenge #369 - For the one you love - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well one month gone and we are already into February and this is the month of love so its only right that this weeks theme should be

For the one you love

and we are going to leave it open to you to interpretate as not everyone has a boyfriend or hubby, so it can be for anyone in your family or even friends.

And you will find beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from to. Our Sponsors are and as always our sponsers are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.

But don't forget they will only give you the whole amount if you have used one of their images on your card but don't worry if you haven't, they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice if you are picked as a winner.

And for my own card I chose to use this image

This young man is titled "Valentino" and you will find it here, I printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I used one of my rectangle dies to cut him out and layered him up onto a larger diecut in red card.
The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of the same red card, on top of this I have used the backing paper that comes with the image and again you will find it here. Before I placed my image on top I used a large heart doily and placed in the center then wrapped a love ribbon around the middle of it and stuck it to the back of the first mount.
The mounted image was then placed on top with a sentiment which is from my stash (rubber stamp) that's been stamped and then placed on top of another piece of red card and placed in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have used some red Nuvo drops and a punch of red roses which were stuck in the top left hand corner.

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers and a Very Happy New Year to you all, I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and are now looking forward to our first Challenge of 2019 and for this we are starting with

New Beginnings

This image is titled "Happy Meow Year" and you will find it here, I printed it onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, afterwards I used a square die to cut it out and inked around the edge before mounting it onto a larger fancy die cut in orange.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of orange card and the backing paper is also from the same design set as the image and you will find it here.
