The Paper Shelter Christmas - "Anything Goes" Challenge

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, I do hope you thoroughly enjoyed our "Special Celebration" Blog Hop and I will be announcing the winner of my comments shortly but I do want to thank all those that took part and left me such lovely comments.
Todays Challenge is a "Anything Goes" one and its the last Challenge for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot for this year and it will be a 3 week one and there will not be any comments left on your work so I do hope you understand as the Design Teams are going to be taking a well earned break from it and will be spending time with their families, and I want to wish them all a wonderful Christmas.
And now as always our wonderful sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website

and this is providing you have used one of their products on your card, and this could be either a image, paper or printable and you will find there here on their website, but even if you do not use one of these they will still give your three images of your own choice, and that is such a wonderful prize and so generous.
Anyway here is the card I created for this Challenge, hope you like it.

This is such a stunning image she is called "Hope" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card and coloured her with my copic pens, I then used a Rectangle die from Nestabilitie and then used the Snowflake Die from Wild Rose Dies this was cut out of blue card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" and I used a piece of the same blue card for the mount and the backing paper is the one that comes with this beautiful image and you will find it here. I then placed my mounted image in the middle and the sentiment I used is one from my stash and I have mounted it onto another piece of blue card and placed in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have used 6 small pearls in the top right and bottom left hand corners.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the Design Teams have created for your  inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Anything Goes" Challenge. And please dont forget we will be back on January 7th for a brand new Challenge.

ABC Challenges - "Z for Zany"

Good Morning Crafters, can you believe it this is the last Challenge over at ABC Challenge Blogspot and its a real "Zany" one and we are being sponsored by Sherri Baldy

And we were lucky enough to be given several images to play with and I chose this one for my card.

This image is titled "Winter Wonderland" and you will find her here, I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, after wards I used the Nestabilitie Rectangle Die to cut it out. Afterwards I have mounted it onto a Wild Rose Snowflake die, cut out of white pearlescent card but before doing so I glittered the hat, dress and scarf and the pudding.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount of white card and the paper is from Phil Martins Vintage Paper pad, and I then placed a Snowflake Corner from Phil Martin in the top right hand corner and then placed my mounted image in the middle.
I then cut a sentiment with another of my dies, and the final flourish is the floral spray in the bottom left hand corner I have used l large poinsetta and two smaller ones and some punched out holly leaves.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will now pop over to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration and hope that you will want to take part in this "Z is for Zany" Challenge.

Good Morning fellow crafters and welcome to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog Hop and this is in celebration of their reaching their 4th Birthday on December 8th. It will be a two week Challenge and both Design Teams are taking part.

The Hop is our way of inviting you to join in with us and this one is a  "A Special Celebration" theme, which I know is extremely popular!!!!

Our Design Team have worked very hard and are showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter Website 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 Blogspot.

For my image I have used this sweet Dragon image titled "Dragons Birthday" and you will find him here, and I printed him several times onto semi-gloss photo paper then cut the first one out with a oval Nestabilitie Die and then can a fancy one for the mount. I then cut the other printed images into layers to create a decoupaged image and stuck them up into layers to make him 3D. 

I then used the "Birthday Cupcake" papers and you will find them here, I used three of the papers and layered them up as shown the second one was cut in a strip and I used a Martha Stewart border punch. I used My Craft Studio to create the sentiment badge and placed it in the top right hand corner, the No.4 was from my stash and was coloured with a inkpad and to finish of I have used cupcake buttons down the right hand side.
