Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well this fortnights Challenge over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot is a "Anything Goes" one as both team will be taking part and it means that we will not be commenting on the entries as its the Teams Summer Break and we feel that the girls should have a bit of time with their families without the having to spend time blog hopping and leaving comments, I hope you will understand this.
Anyway as always we are being sponsored by Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30 to spend on their website

I have used the "Sweet and Shy" image and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card and then used my copic pens to colour her afterwards I cut her out with my rectangle Nestabilitie Die and mounted her up on a fancy one thats been cut from red card. The sentiment is one from my stash and this has been mounted on another fancy diecut.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of red card and the papers are from a Sweetshoppe digi paper set "Halloween before Dark" and I used four papers from the set and layered them up as shown in the photo. I then placed my mounted image in the center towards the top and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner, and to finish of I have used some Nuvo drops in the top right and bottom left hand corner.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of mauve card and the papers I have used are from the "Giggles and Laughter" digi paper set from Sweetshoppe Designs. I have used three of the papers and then on top I have laid a doily and then I stuck my mounted image towards the top in the center.

Pink Gem Designs Challenge - "Get Krafty"

Good Morning Crafters well I dont know about you but Im very un-impressed so far with our weather if its supposed to be summer I think those upstairs are having a lot of baths and throwing out the bathwater over us. Anyway this theme over on Pink Gem Designs is all about using "Kraft" paper and to be honest I dont think we use it as much as we used to so now is the chance for yo to give it a go.
Before I show you my card I must tell you about our very generous sponsor Janet Roberts and you will find how much she is if you take a visit to her website

Pink Gem Designs
 And here is the card I created
And this little man is called "Batman Andy" and you will find him here, as I have quite a number of boys in my family I thought this was ideal for anyone of them and in fact I rather cheated and printed the decoupage sheets out and then made up my card by cutting out all the pieces and layering them up as shown in my photo.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem Designs Challenge Blogspot and see for yourself what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Get Krafty" Challenge.

 And here is the card I created using my Lacy Sunshine Image


This little lady is called "My Love, Love Notes Fairies" and you will find her here,  I have printed her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a Justrite die to cut her out and a larger one for the mount out of blue card. The sentiment is one from my stash and I have mounted his onto a circular diecut.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card and the papers I have chosen to use are from Sweetshoppe Digi Papers and I used three of the papers and cut the second with a border punch from Martha Stewart. I wrapped a piece of blue ribbon around the base mount and attached it to the back of the first mount.
The mounted image was placed towards the top and the sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of I have used some Nuvo pearl drops to create the pearls in the other three corners.
