Blog Hop Challenge - Birthday/Celebrations - The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot

 This weeks Challenge is a very special one over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot its to be their celebration of 

 

                                                            Their 11th Birthday

 

and to celebrate this the theme this week is all about the Celebrations and so for my own card I have created a card for one of my Great Grandsons.

 

 

I have used "We've Won" and you will find it here, the reason for my choice is because both of my great grandsons and their father are crazy over football and train twice a week hopefully no doubt to become professional one day. I printed the image out several times and then cut them down in layers to create a decoupage image as you will see. Ive then printed the background and then placed it on a piece of dark blue card.

The decoupaged image was then placed on the background image in the center with a typed sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. Now that you've seen my card I do hope you go over to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see for yourself what a fabulous set of cards that have been created for this "Birthday/Celebration" Challenge.

This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

Challenge #491 - A Bookmark - The Paper Shelter Challenge

 Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well this is the last Challenge I create a card for and I thought you might like to see the result as its something completely different from the usual theme its all about a

                                                                              A Bookmark

and I chose the image below and I hope you like the result.

For this theme I used "Bookworm Fairy" and you will find her here, I used the image by printing it onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens, I then used a fancy tag die to cut her out and a larger one with one of the backing papers from the same design set as the image and you will find it here.

I then used a second one to stick at the back of the first at the top to create a fold to put over the page at the top so I could use it as a bookmark.

Now that you've seen my design I do hope that you will pay a visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration.

I want to thank Linda for the brilliant job of taking on my old job and what good job shes making of it, Thank you so much for giving me the chance to at last take time to relax and spend precious time with my family. She knows if she ever needs me to stand in for her she has only to ask so you may see me again sometime but for now I am now fading into the background.

The Project is to be entered into the following Challenges:-

This image is titled "Spooky" and you will find it here, I printed it onto white card before colouring it with my copic pens, I then cut it out with a circle die and layered it onto a black fancy larger mount. The sentiment is also one from my stash with has also been cut out with a circle die and then mounted onto a larger black mount to.

I also created a second card for another of my grandchildren here it is

 

 

This one is titled  "My little she-devil Costume" and you will find it here. I also printed her onto white card like my last one about, and then coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I cut it out with a oval die and then placed it onto a larger one of pink card, I also stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a smaller die.

Both cards I used the back ground papers from each of the images and then placed ribbon around the middle and attached it to the back of the first mount, the images were then placed in the middle with the sentiment down in the right hand corners.

Now that you've seen my cards I do hope you will pop over to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the Team has created for you.

Challenge #487 - Two Colours - The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot

 Well this is my first post since leaving as DT Leader for The Paper Shelter and as I had several cards left I felt I could help Linda settle into taking over by adding them to the DT post and this is one of them.

This image is titled "Happy Birthday to Me" and you will find it here, I printed her onto white card and used my copic pens to colour her, I then cut her out with a rectangle die and used a larger one and pink card for the mount. 

The sentiment is one from my stash and I have stamped it and mounted it onto another piece of pink card. The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of pink card and the papers are also from the same place as the image, I have mounted this onto the base card with a large pink ribbon around the middle and then placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment below in the bottom right hand corner.

Challenge #485 - Activity, Job or Hobby - The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot

 Well its arrive Paper Shelter Followers this is my very last Challenge blog post for The Paper Shelter as Team Leader and as of today Linda McEnery is now the official Team Leader of the A Team with Vannessa as Team Leader for the B Team, so I hope you will give her all the help and support she deserves. I'm going to miss my fortnightly rushes to get my Challenge posts done and uploaded but it is time for me to pass on the baton to Linda and I know she going to do a brilliant job of guiding and leading the Team for Veronica our owner of The Paper Shelter with Vannessa's help. Good Luck girls and I hope you both enjoy it as much as I have for the past eleven years.

And also a very special  big thank you to my Team who have be have been more than anything they have been my very good friends, thank you girls, and also to those Team Member who have worked with me in the past.

Now for my very last post this weeks theme is all about

 

Activity, Job or Hobby

 

and I have chosen to use a image which portrays my step-daughters profession as she is a chemistry technician in a secondary School in London.

 But I think its time for me to get on and to remind you that you will find some beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from for this weeks theme to. Our Sponsors are and as always 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. Please don't forget you are allowed to enter 3 projects but one of these must carry one of our images please as its only good manners don't you think.

And here is the image I chose to use

 

This image is titled "Science" and you will find it here, I printed her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a square die to cut her out and a fancy larger on and pink card for the mount. The sentiment is once which I found on the internet and I have printed it and then mounted this onto a piece of the same pink card as the image.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of the same pink card, the backing paper is the one from the same design set as the image and  you will find that here. Its a simple card but certainly has a punch.

Well I want to thank all those that have visited me here on my blog over the last 11 years while I have been a Team Leader, I may still upload the odd card now and again if I remember to do so, but my intention to retire and step down is to spend more time with my hubby and dogs, especially as one of them is now nearly 11 years and the other has mental problems coping with Epilepsy, ADHD and Autism he is getting more difficult to cope with new experiences and both hubby and I are having to watch ourselves not allowing him to get spooked by them.

 Now that you've seen my creation I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Activity, Job and Hobby" Challenge to.

 This gorgeous image is titled "Hush, let her sleep" and you will find it here, I printed her onto white card before colouring the image with my copic pens, afterwards I used a rectangle die to cut it out, and then with a larger one I cut the mat one out of black card and layered it on top. The sentiment is one I found on the internet and I printed it and then layered this also onto a piece of black card.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mat of black card then on top I have used the backing paper that came with the image and you will find it here. 

I then placed the mounted image towards the top with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner, I also stamped Happy Birthday before the image.

Challenge #481 - Back to School - The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot

 Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well it must be only days before the children start filtering back to School, I know my own great grandsons will be starting back soon and I'm sure their parents will be glad to see them return to School as towards the end of the holidays they really start to get bored and need the stimulation of learning again.  So my choice of theme this week is

Back to School

and Im sure you can use a card to send to someone you know who would love to receive it.

 But I think its time for me to get on and to remind you that you will find some beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from for this weeks theme to.

For my own creation I chose this image

 

  He is titled "Back to School Madness" and you will find it here I printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I cut him out with a square die and mounted him onto a larger one cut from blue card. The sentiment was printed from a verse I found on the internet and which I felt was appropriate for my card.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and for my first layer I used a dark blue card the same one that I used for my image and on top I used the backing paper that came with the image which you will find here. Then on top of this I placed my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.

 Now that you've seen my creation I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Back to School" Challenge to.

Challenge #479 - Anything but a Card - The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot

 Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, welcome back its been 4 weeks since we held a ordinary Challenge and I sincerely hope you enjoy playing with the Anything Goes one we held during our break, this week is something different its going to be challenging and I'm sure you will cope with

Anything but a Card

This means we want to see what you can create other than a Card.

 But I think its time for me to get on and to remind you that you will find some beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from for this weeks theme to.

For my own creation I chose this image

 

 She is titled "Comfy at Home" and you will find her here, I printed her several times then cut the image out to use for decoupaging onto the base image which was printed and stuck to the side of a wooden tissue box cover. Using silicone glue I have layered her up several times to make it stand out from the base layer.

I hope you like the result, its certainly different and you have to be rather careful when pulling out the tissue you don't pull it down in front of it, but it does give the box an unusual finish.
