Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, this weeks Challenge over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot is a special one as we are going to run it for 2 weeks and both the Design Teams will be taking and we wont be commenting on the entries, as the girls will be taking a 2 week break from it and so I hope you wont stop taking part as its the most popular theme "Anything Goes" but the rules still stands that you are only able to enter 3 cards into this Challenge and at least one of them must carry one of The Paper Shelter Images, printable or papers on it.
As usual our sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website

but this is only if you have used one of their products on your card and that could be either a Image, Paper or Printable and you will find them here on their website.  But even if you do not use any of their products you will still receive 3 digi images of your own choice so you really cannot loose can you? Please dont forget that you are only allowed to enter our Challenges 3 times and at least one of the entries must have one of our products on it or they will be disallowed in the choice of a winner.

And here is the card I created for this "Anything Goes" Challenge

 have used the "Cool Skater" and you will find her here, I have printed onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I cut her out with one of the new label dies from Spellbinders, and a larger one for the mount out of beige card.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of beige card the backing paper is also from the "Cool Skater" and you will find that here. I have just used the one layer and then placed my mounted image towards the right, I then cut out a couple of banners and layed them across the top, and I even stamped the sentiment on the paper, and the final flourish is the two hearts stuck on the left hand side.

Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot where you will find that all the Design Teams are taking part in this "Anything Goes" and I look forward to seeing what you created for it.

A Christmas Card created with the new Heartfelt Stamps and Dies

Good Morning Crafters, I absolutely adore Heartfelt Dies and Stamps and this months release was the new Poinsettia design, and I have used the poinsettia stamp on parchment paper and then used white embossing powder to emboss them, afterwards I cut them out with the dies that come with the set. To colour them I used the Viva 3d paint on the back of the petals and leaves.
The main card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of red card and a second one out of green, both these were embossed using a Sue Wilson holly embossing folders. I then layered them up and with one of the card toppers from the Poinsettia paper pad I layered this on top of both the layers.
I used some of the layered up poinsettia petals to create the four flowers you can see, and I placed them around the two edges at the bottom and one in the top right hand corner. The final thing was the sentiment that also came in the paper pad, this was layered up again on red and green card and placed in the top right hand corner. I also used red PVA glue to create the red spots around the edge, but Im afraid the glue is a bit lumpy and it was difficult to get a perfect dot with the bottle.

ABC Challenge - "N is for Number"

Good Morning Crafters, well you wont be surprised that we have already reached the letter N at ABC Challenge Blogspot and this time the theme is "N is for Number" and we are lucky enough to be sponsored by ArtbyMiran.

And for my card I decided to use this 1920s Flapper Girl

and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens and cut her out with a large Nestabilitie rectangle die and a larger one for the mount out of blue card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount of blue card and the papers I have used are from the Art Deco Foil Papers and Card, I have used three of them and layered them up as you see on my card.
I have used a pen to create the split stitching around the image and the final flourish are the 12 blue flat backed pearls you can see in all four corners and the larger flower on on her hair band.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration.

Challenge #211 - "Holiday Time" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, this weeks Challenge over at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot is right up my street at the moment is themed "Holday Time" and it wont be long now before the children break up for the long Summer Holidays and with having such gorgeous weather its certainly feels like it already, so Im looking forward to your card design. 
And this weeks Challenge as always is being sponsored by Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter

and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website but this is providing you have used one of their products and that could be either a Image, Backing Paper or even a Printable, but even if you have not they will still give you 3 digi images of your own choice to play with. So you really cannot loose can you? And the choice on their website The Paper Shelter is amazing they are always updating their library so the choices as fabulous and the price of them is really good to.
And when I saw this image I thought this was absolutely ideal for this Challenge

I dont how many of you have suffered because of the gulls, but I certainly have, and to be honest we have quite a lot in our town and as we live between to rivers the Severn and the Wye its not surprising I suppose. Anyway this image is called "That's something you dont see everyday" and you will find it here, I have printed her onto white card before colouring it with my copic pens. Afterwards I used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.39 and a fancy one for the mount.
The sentiment was stamped onto another piece of white card and mounted up with the same yellow card that my image was.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount of yellow card, and the papers used for this card are from Sweetshoppe "Sunnyside Up" and I have used 4 papers from this digi paper set, and layered them up as shown across the center, two of them have been punched with the shell boarder from Martha Stewart.
I then placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner, and the final flourish (my tip) are the two icecream/lolly buttons down the right hand side (from my stash).
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 very talented A Design Team have created for your inspiration and I hope that you will be inspired to take part in this "Holiday Time" Challenge.

ABC Challenges - "M is for Magnolia"

Good Morning Crafters we have reached the letter "M is for Magnolia" over at ABC Challenge Blogspot and this time we are being sponsored by Magnolicious

And I used one of my Magnolia Stamps for my card

And I stamped her onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I cut out using one of my Nestabilitie Dies and a fancy one for the mount out of blue card. The sentiment was done in the same way as the Image.
The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount of blue card, and the papers are from Maja "Coffee in the Arbour" paper pad and I have used three papers, the first a rose pattern and the second a blue spotty one and the third is a flowery pattern.
I then laid my mounted image towards the right of my card and created a flower spray with several sized roses in the top left hand corner and laid on top of some punched out rose leaves. And the final flourish are the 4 red flatbacked pearls in the top right and bottom left hand corners.
Now that you have seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration so hopefully you to will want to take part in this "M is for Magnolia" Challenge.
