Challenge #249 - "Charming" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well todays Challenge is all about using a Charm on your Card I can remember a few years ago when these were very popular and I know if your anything like me you have a full box of them so I dont suspect you will have any trouble finding one to add to your card but even if you do any piece of metal is allowed on your card instead.
But before I show you my own card I had better tell you who is our sponsor and of course its our very generous Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter

and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website here, and if you have used one of their gorgeous images you will be entitled to the whole amount but even if you havent you will still receive 3 digi images of your own choice. But please if you are going to enter more than once, you are able to take part 3 times but one of those must carry one of our images please.
And for my Card I used this little lady

She is "Smart but Sexy" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card and used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I cut her out with my rectangle Nestabilitie Die and a fancy one for the mount out of beige card. The sentiment was created in the same way with the same die set.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of beige card and the backing paper is also from the same design set as the girl and you will find it here, and I then used a circle doily in the middle with the mounted image stuck in the middle of the card. I put the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have created a bow out of beige ribbon and hung the laptop charm from it.
And the final flourish are the
in the top right hand corner and the bottom left one. 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 hopefully you to want to take part in this "Charming " Challenge.

Challenge #239 - "Away with the Fairies" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well can you believe that we are already into March, for me this is a very busy month as I have so many family birthdays that Im afraid that I will forget someone that I like to get well ahead with my cards.
I have been suffering with a chest infection and looking after a sick neighbour who has now been taken into respite care so a little time has been returned to me, though today I have a hospital appt and will be scheduling this post.
Well todays Challenge over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot is themed "Away with the Fairies" and this was a phrase that my daughter told me I was that, though it may well be true as I love anything to do with the little people.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of pink card the papers are from "Bewitched" papers and you will find them here, I have used 3 different papers the first I used on the base mount and the other two I cut into squares and used a heart corner punch on each of the corners these were layered up and the mounted image was then placed towards the top on the left and the sentiment was then put under it in the right hand corner.
To finish of I have used some Nestabilie leaf die cuts and some punched out pink flowers to create a frame around the mounted image.

Good Morning Crafters well we have reached "C" in the alphabet over at ABC Challenge Blogspot and for this its all about being "Cute" and we are being sponsored this time by

All Dressed Up

And for my Card I chose this "Cute" image

And this is "Dino" and I you will find him here,  I created this card for my Great Grandson as he loves Dinosaurs and this I felt was a ideal image for him. 

I printed it onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I used a circular die to cut him out with a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment was created on my computer and then also cut out with a round die and I used a fancy one for the mount. The number is a wooden one which I coloured with a pen and placed in the center of the sentiment mount.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of green card the papers are from Sweetshoppe Digi Papers and I have used five papers from the Dinosaur patterned paper set and three of them I used a Dinosaur border punch on, I then placed a ribbon around the bottom and stuck the mounted image towards the left hand side at the top and the sentiment in the top right hand corner.

I then diecut the dinosaur from a Tattered Lace die and placed this in the bottom right hand corner.

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 De

Challenge #237 - "Animal Magic" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well can you believe that we are already nearly two months gone this year, and Im looking forward to the warmer weather luckily my daffodils are already coming out and they must be one of my most favourite flowers I love the bright yellow of them.
And our theme this week is all about "Animals" if your like me no doubt you will have lots of images and wont have a problem using them.
Anyway Im chatting to much and you will want me to get on, anyway as always our very special generous 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 providing you have used one of their products on your card and this could be either a Image, Paper or Printable and you will find lots to choose from at The Paper Shelter Website here, and even if you dont use one of these they will still give you 3 digi images of your own choice. But we only allow 3 entries into our Challenges and at least one of those must use on of The Paper Shelter products.
And now for the reveal of my card

This image is called "Team Work" and you will find it here, I printed it onto white card before colouring it with my copic pens, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Dies to cut it out and layered it up onto black and red mounts to.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of black and then a red mount the paper I have used is from the Papermania "Oriental" paper pack and as it wasnt as wide as the base mount I have used a piece of red lace down the edge to disguise it, I then stamped and layered up a sentiment which was placed in the bottom right hand corner. The mounted image was then placed towards the left of the card and three gems were placed down the right hand side on the red edge.
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 to will want to take part in this "Animal Magic" Challenge.
