Challenge #151 - "Spring Delights" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Fellow Crafters, Ive been so busy lately that I nearly forgot to write up my post for this Challenge, I thought Id better get my finger our and make amends, so welcome to this weeks Challenge over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot  its all about "Spring Delights" at least the daffodils are now out and its looking a lot sunnier than it was a few weeks ago, but its still cold and wet here in Gloucestershire.
As you will know we have at last picked our new DT members and our new Team member will start on the 9th April and I will introduce her more on that Challenge, anyway todays one is as always sponsored by Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30.

but this is providing you have used one of the products on your card, and even if you havent they will still give you 3 digis of your own choice, but I do urge you to pay a visit to The Paper Shelter website and see for yourself what fabulous value their products are so do please pop over here and see for yourself.
And now for my card.

For my image I have used "Spring Breeze" and you will find her here, and I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.34 and a fancy one for the mount out of pink card. The sentiment is one I googled and printed it onto white card then used another label die to cut it out.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card and the papers I have used are from The Paper Shelters "Spring Zoe" digi paper set and you will find them here. I used a pink spot one for the first mouont and the second is a green one and on the edge I have used Tonic Butterfly Border punch down it, then on top is another pink card which was also mounted onto pink card and placed down the center.
I then used some green card and the La La Land tree die and placed in on top of this mount and stuck the mounted image in the center and the sentiment down below on the left hand side. To finish of I have used several pink flowers and placed them on the tree diecut.
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 Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will then want to take part in our "Spring Delights" Challenge.

Challenge #127 - The Paper Shelter - "Back to School"

Good Morning Crafters, Im sure you like many mums are expecting either your grandchildren or your own children will be starting School within the next week or so, so I decided the theme for this weeks Challenge should be "Back to School" and The Paper Shelter have some fabulous images for this subject and I have used just one of them for my card.
But before I show you what I have been up to you will want to know who is sponsoring us and of course its our very generous sponsors Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a voucher of $30.

But as always this is provided you have used one of their products on your card, but even if you do not they will still give you 3 digi's of your own choice, and believe me when I say they have a brilliant library of them and are forever updating it to.
Before I show you what I have been up to I want to bring to your attention that The Paper Shelter is hosting a Design Team Call over the next few days, so you will need to go and visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot to see what is required of you if you would like to join our very talented Design Teams, and good luck.
And now to show you my card which will be winging itself of to my hubbys granddaughter in the next few days.

For my card I have used this sweet image "Learning is Fun" and you will find it here, and I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I cut her out completely. The sentiment is one I googled and cut and pasted it into Microsoft word and then printed it, cut it out and mounted it onto a piece of beige card.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and the first mount is another piece of beige card and the paper is also from the "Learning is Fun" digi paper set which you will find here, and I pasted this onto the beige base card. I then placed my cut out image in the center and the sentiment at the bottom on the right. 

To finish of I have used several letter buttons and then numbers to finish it of.

Good Morning Crafters, oh wow what a fabulous response to our DT Call, and Marie will be announcing the new Team sometime today over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot, and I hope you will also help me welcome them and also send a very sad goodbye to the girls who are now stepping down and they have been very special friends and Im going to miss them terribly and they are Lorraine, Ann Marie, Julie and Paola, Im still hoping to call on them occassionally to step in as Guest Designers so I think you may well see them now and again, but I do want to wish them all the best for the future.
But back to todays Challenge, this week we want to see "Animals" on your card and I do know that many of you have them in your stash so it should cause any problems finds something that will fit the bill. As always our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30.

And now I want to show you what I have created for this weeks Challenge.

I have used this " Most Adorable Cavalier" image and you will find it here, I printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a Nestabilitie die Labels No.1 to cut it out then used a fancy die for the mount, the sentiment was created on my computer and printed out as I felt is was appropriate saying for this gorgeous image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and the paper I used actually comes with the image and I have stuck it to the base card, then wrapped a ribbon around the top, and created the flower at the bottom with several punched out pieces and layered them up to create the large daisy in the bottom left hand corner, this was stuck to the card with a silicone glue and some punched out leaves.
The last flourish is the three gems stuck down the right hand side at the top.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will go and visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and I do hope that you will then take part in this "Animal Magic" Challenge.
