Challenge #267 - "Music and Dance"- The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, a lot of you are probably aware a couple of weeks ago the company went through a very bad patch and we are hoping that now things will start to improve but we are now disassociating with Pedro because of this and hopefully it will not be long before Veronica is starting afresh with a new Artist.
So this weeks Challenge is being sponsored by Veronica and she is still offering a fabulous prize of $30 to 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 the theme this time is all about "Music and Dance" and there are some beautiful images under this heading and I chose this little lady for my card

and she is called "On Air" it reminds me so much of the 1940s singers and my hubby loves the mircophone, he loves anything to do with radio, anyway you will find her here. I printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I cut her out with my Nestabilite Die and a fancy one for the mount out of beige card. The sentiment is from my stash and it was mounted on to a die cut from the same design set.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card and again the first mount is out of beige card and I used the backing paper from the image "On Air" and you will find it here. I then placed a circular doily and on top I placed my mounted image and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
To finish of I have used several music instruments and placed them down the right hand side and beige pearls down the left hand side.
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 my very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and look forward to seeing your projects.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

ABC Challenges - "Q is for Quick" - All Dressed Up

Good Morning again Crafters as this is my second post today (which is unusual for me) I hope you will bear through and see my card and all the chatter I leave. This fortnights Challenge over on ABC Challenge Blogspot is "Q is for Quick" and we are being sponsored this time by "All Dressed Up"

All Dressed Up

And here is the card I created for it

This image is called "For You" and you will find it here, I printed her onto white card and coloured it with my copic pens and cut it out with my Nestabilitie Die and then used a fancy one for the mount in pink card.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of pink card, the papers are also from All Dressed Up and this set is called "Pink (Girl) Papers" and you will find them here. As the theme asks for a quick card I have used just one of them a very pretty pink flowered paper and then layed my mounted image in the middle, and the "For You" sentiment was cut using a Die I believe probably Justrite and I cut it out of pink and white and layered them on top of each other to shadow it and make a little more pronounced.

Now that you have seen my Card I do hope you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for the "Q is for Quick" Challenge I hope you to will want to take part in this Challenge and look forward to seeing yours.

Pink Gem #177 Challenge - "Halloween"

Good Morning Gemsters well this fortnights Challenge is being hosted by Me and I chose the theme of Halloween as the Pinks next one wont be till November and I adore all the Halloween images that Janet designs and I just couldnt ignore it for my choice so I do hope you like it to.
As I have already said that Janet is our sponsor and our designer and owner of

Pink Gem Designs

And here is the Card I created with my choice of image I do hope you like the result

This little lady is "Chloe with Cauldron" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card and coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a Nestabilitie die to cut her out and then a fancy one out of orange card. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of orange card and the papers are also from Pink Gem Designs and is called "Batty Papers" and you will them here. I have used four papers and layered them up as show and on the edges of three of them I have used Halloween border punches from Martha Stewart, two of them are the tombstone one and the other a spider web.
I have just discovered after loading this photo up that the spider has escaped and has landed on the edge of my mounted image, I do hope Chloe isn't spooked by it, Im not sure I would want it to suddenly appear like that on me, it is rather a large one.
To finish of I used a Memory Box die for spider web and spider in the top left hand corner and a pumkin punch to create the die cuts also on the right handside.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem Designs 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 "Halloween" Challenge.

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers this weeks theme over on the Challenge Blog is a "Card of Many Folds" I do hope that this wont put you of creating a card for us, it can be a simple design as I have created or something more adventurous as some of my Design Team have created.

But please dont forget that you are only allowed to enter 3 times and at least one of your projects must be using one of our images.
Here is the card I created

This gorgeous image is "Pineapple" and you will find her here, I have printed her onto white card and then coloured her with my copic pens, I then used my Spellbinders No.1 Labels die to cut her out and a fancy one for the mount, I have also used the same die set for the sentiment.
The base card is a 7"x 7" three folded card the larger one to the front and the smaller one folded  under this larger one, not easy to see in the photo but you just get a glimpse of it towards the right of the photo.
I have used "Poolside Splash" papers from Sweetshoppe Designs and I used two of the papers from the design set. On the larger fold I have used a piece of blue card for the first mount and then on top of this is the first paper a water design, then used a strip of my second paper which has lots of beach items and down the two sides I have used a border punch from EK success punches, then layered this on top of the first one. For the smaller fold I have used the same papers but cut them down to fit the size of the fold and also layered them up on top of the piece of blue card as well.
I then placed my mounted image over the edge of the front fold and the sentiment in the bottom left hand corner. To finish of I have used several buttons down the right hand side on the smaller fold, and another in the top left hand corner.
I hope I have explained my method OK though it might sound a little mixed up, I do apologise for that. Anyway 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 hope you will be inspired to take part in this "A Card of Many Folds".

But even if you havent used one of their products you will still be eligible to win 3 digi images of  your own choice, so you really cannot loose can you?  But please if you are going to enter more than once we allow three entries and one of those you must use one of products on it. 
And now for my card, I hope you like it

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.
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 take part in our Summer Break Challenge "Anything Goes" and look forward to seeing your creations.

ABC Challenges - "L is for Lots of Layers"

Good Morning Crafters, well we have now reached the letter "L is for Lots of Layers" over on ABC Challenges is being sponsored by Lemon Shortbread Digi Stamps 

Lemon Shortbread Digi Stamps

And here is the card I created 

This little lady is called "Flowers and Curls" you will find it here, and I printed her onto white card before I coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I cut her out with a square Nestabilitie Die and a larger one for the mount. The sentiment was a stamp from my stash and I have cut it out with another of my label dies and mounted this also on to a piece of mauve card.

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.

I then used some of the left over paper to create the flowers which I have layed them up in the top left hand corner, and I also used my nuvo drops to create the pearls in the top right hand corner and the bottom left.

Now that I have created 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 Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "L is for Lots of Layers" challenge.
