The Paper Shelters Christmas Break - "Anything Goes"

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, I do hope you enjoyed our Blog Hop and now we have reached our last Challenge of the year, this is a "Anything Goes" one and it will last 3 weeks so because the Design Teams are bound to be very busy we wont be commenting on any of the entries so dont be surprised as it gives them the chance to spend it with their families instead.
But before I show you my card I know that you will want to know who our sponsors are for this weeks Challenge and as usual they are The Paper Shelter themselves and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30 spend on The Paper Shelter website

but this is providing you have used one of their products on your card and this could be a Image, Paper or Printable and you will find lots to choose from on their website and even if you dont use them they will still offer you 3 images of your own choice, so you really cannot loose can you? Please also remember you are allowed to enter three projects but one of these must carry one of our products please. 
And here is the Card I created for this Challenge.

This little chap is called "What did I get" and you will find him here, I printed him about 4 times onto photo paper and then cut him out into layers to create decoupage which I then layered up to create depth.
Afterwards I mounted him onto a piece of red card and then onto a white card base 6.50"x 6.50" in size.
Now that youve 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 for your inspiration and I do so hope that you will take part in this "Anything Goes" Challenge.

Our Design Team Leader Christine asked the DT Teams if they would create a card for this weeks Breast Cancer Aware week, and we are hosting a "Pink" Challenge so I do hope that you will take part and get the ball rolling I have created a card myself but before I show you, we are of course being sponsored by the very talented Janet Roberts of Pink Gem Designs

Janet creates such beautiful images to play with and for my card I have used this little lady

She is called "Poppy" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a oval Nestabilitie Die to cut her out and a Floral one for the mount out of pink card, the sentiment is one from my stash thats been then cut out with a smaller die and mounted also onto a oval fancy die from the same die set and the one used for the image.
The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is out of pink card to, the papers are also from Pink Gem Designs and is called "Sweetheart Papers" and you will find them here. I have used three of the papers the first a all over pink background with white hearts on the second is a stripe one which has been cut into a square and I have used a border and corner punch set from Martha Steward and stuck in onto the base card, I then used a pink background with small hearts and this was also cut into a square and punched with the same corner and border punch set as the first one this was then off set on top of the first one.
I then placed my mounted image towards the left and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I created a bow with net and pink organza ribbon and placed this in the top right hand corner, and in the other two corners on the left I have used pink pearls in different angles.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for yours inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Breast Aware Special Challenge" and look forward to seeing your cards and projects.
