And here is the Card I created for this Challenge:-

This little lady is "Grace with Teddy" and you will find her here. I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used my Nestabilitie die to cut it out and a fancy one for the mount our of mauve card. The sentiment is one from my stash and I have also mounted this onto a fancy die from the same die set.

The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is out of mauve card and the papers are also from Pink Gem Designs and this one is "Small Daisies" and you will find them here. I have used sever of the papers and my Martha Steward border punch down the edges of the layers, and then I used a mauve ribbon down the card on the left hand side.

I then used a circle doily and placed this towards the top and my mounted image on top with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. I then used the Sue Wilson Cape Daisy die to create the three daisies in the bottom left hand corner, I used some of the paper left overs to create them. To finish of I have used Nuvo pearl drops in the top right hand corner.

Now that youve seen my Card I do hope 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 take part in our "Your Favourite Colour Combo" Challenge.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card, the paper as I said is also from "Snowborder Girl" and came separately to the image so I printed it onto paper and stuck it to the blue mount and used glitter on the snow to give it a bit of sparkle.

As you can see I have used two images and of course we also have two folds to. This first image is "Hippie Chic" and you will find her here, and the second image is "Hippie Van" and this also you will find here. I printed both onto white card and then used my copic pens to colour them, after wards I cut them out and mounted them onto a piece of blue card.
The base card is 6.50" x 6.50" white card which has been folded as shown in the photo, and the papers are from my stash that a white background with shades of blue clouds on them, I also created a insert in the same papers to.

ABC Challenges - "T is for Three"

Good Morning Crafters over on ABC Challenges we have reached the letter "T" and for this one we want three items on your card please I have used 3 diecuts on mine, and we are being sponsored by Marianne Designs

Marianne Designs

And for my Card I have used this cute image from Marianne Designs

I stamped it onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I used a Marianne Die to cut it out and then inked it through the holes on the die I also used some glitter on the snow at the bottom of the stamped image. The sentiment is one from my stash thats been also stamped on another piece of white card and then layered it up on a piece of blue card.
The base card is 6.50" x 6.50" white card with a first mount our of blue card and the paper is from a Creative Expressions paper pad, I have used one of the backing papers, on top of this I have used two die cut corners and placed them as shown in the photo down the left side and in the top right hand corner. The third die cut is the one used for the image so I placed this in the center of my card with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
Now that you 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 your inspiration.

Challenge #271 - "A Card for a Child" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, I have been so busy over the last few days getting all these posts scheduled to appear so close together, its amazing that for a change they all come out almost in one week. Anyway todays Challenge over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot is all about creating "A Card for a Child" and Im sure all of us are creating some sort of card for either our children or grandchildren or other family member or friend that I hope its a easy one for you to find something to inspire you.
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 here is the Card I created I hope you enjoy it

This little lady is called "Lollipop Princess" 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 a fancy one for the mount our of pink card. The sentiment was one one I found in my stash and then mounted it onto a fancy diecut.
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 Paper Shelter and they are called "Birthday Cupcake" papers and you will find them here. I printed several of the papers and cut them into strips and used a Martha Steward Happy Birthday border punch down the edges then layered them up on my first layer.
I then placed my mounted image towards the left and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have used a couple of cupcake buttons down the right side in the top corner.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have for your inspiration and hopefully you to will take part in this "A Card for a Child" Challenge.
