Challenge #287 - Easter - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well can you believe its almost Easter and the A Team decided we should get ahead with our Easter Cards so this weeks theme is all about creating a card for it.
But before I show you the card I have made you will want to know who is not only sponsoring us but also whose images we are using for this Challenge.

And they are offering you a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website and they have some really stunning images to play with this, and not only these but also printables and papers lots to choose from also they often have special offers to at really reasonable prices. But this is only if you have used one of their products on your card but even if you haven't they will still give you 3 digis of your own choice and you really cannot loose can you? Please can you remember you can enter three projects but at least one of them must carry one of products please.
And now to show the card I created for one of our granddaughters.

This little lady is titled "I am a Easter Bunny" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used the Nestabilitie Egg Die and cut her out and created a pink mount for her out of pink card. The sentiment was also stamped onto the smallest diecut and cut a slightly larger one out of pink card for the mount.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white one with a first mount out of pink card, the papers are from Sweetshoppe Designs Papers and I have used 5 of the papers and used a Martha Stewart bunny border punch on all but one of the layers and then stuck them across the base mount and then wrapped a white ribbon around and attached it to the back of the mount.
The mounted image was then placed towards the left and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner, to finish of I have used several of the novelty Easter buttons down the right side and along the bottom of my card.
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 want to take part in this "Easter Time" Challenge.

Anyway I think I had better change the subject as Im sure you dont need to know all the nasty details, this months Challenge is "Boys Birthday" and as one of my great grandsons is potty about Dinosaurs I thought the image I have used would be ideal.

Here is the result of my Card

The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is green card and on top of this I have used the "Fabusaurus" Papers and you will find them here, they are also from Pink Gem Designs, I have used four of the papers, the first one is a green background with flowers on, the the other three papers I have used in different sizes and along the edges I have used a EK Success Dinosaur's border punch and layered them up as shown in the photo.

Challenge #285 - "Away with the Fairies"

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well the theme over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog is "Away with the Fairies" as youve probably heard from me before one of my daughters says thats what I am and bought me a placard to put on my door, I hope it doesnt mean Im dopey it hopefully means I get rather distracted with my thoughts.
Anyway as always we are being sponsored by 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 project being a Image, Papers or Printable but even if you have you will still receive 3 digi Images of your own choice so its certainly worth taking part in our Challenge. But please remember you are only allowed to enter 3 projects/cards and at least one of these must have one of our products on one of your cards/project.
And now to show you my Card.

This little lady is "Dew Drop" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens and cut her our with my Nestabilitie Die, I did the same thing with the sentiment which is a stamp from my stash, and used a smaller die from the same die set to cut it out and mount it onto green card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of green card the papers are from the "Zoe Spring" paper set from The Paper Shelter and you will find them here. I have used 4 papers from the set the first one is a pale blue with slightly darker leaf pattern on it, the second is lilac one and I used a leave border down the edge the third paper is a green paper with flowers on and I used the leaf border punch down the edge like the lilac one, the fourth paper is a pink one and I used the same border punch on this to.
On top of these papers I used a pale green card strip and used the same border punch from Martha Steward and laid it down the card about a 3rd of the way in, and for the last strip down the outer edge I used a dark green strip of card and a larger border leaf border punch also from Martha Steward.
I laid my mounted image towards the top of my card and the sentiment below it towards the right. To finish of I have used Nuvo drops down the right side in several colours. I hope you like what you see and will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the Challenge Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Away with the Fairies" Challenge.

Anyway todays Challenge is "Animal Magic" and Im sure that shouldnt be a problem for you we all have images of animals among our stash of goodies so hopefully it wont be for you either and you can take part in our Challenge this Week, but before I show you my own card I want to tell you who our sponsors are and they are The Paper Shelter

But please remember you can enter 3 times but you must use one of our products on one of your entries.

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers as promised today we are celebrating The Paper Shelters 6th Birthday and we are going to do this by hosting a Blog Hop with both the A and B Design Teams taking part. I do hope you enjoy visiting all the girls to see what stunning cards they have to show you but dont forget to leave a comment on each stop along the way with a chance to win a free digi by doing so.
We are also hosting a two week Challenge so dont forget to also create a "Special Birthday Card" to take part in the Challenge and we are still giving a prize of $30 to the winner to spend on their website The Paper Shelter, the usual rules still apply that you must have used one of their products on your card but even if you don't they will still give you 3 digi images of your own choice.

The Hop is our way of inviting you to join in with us and to celebrate as you have already been told the theme is a  "A Special Birthday Card" which I know will be extremely popular!!!! If you have landed here from our Challenge Blog then you're heading in the right direction - if not then you'll want to head on back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot to start again, as you'll not want to miss out on this one! Our Design Teams have worked very hard and are showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter Website and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice as well as the main prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot.

For my card I have used this sweet "Art Nouveau Bloom" image and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card they used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a circle die to cut her out and layered her up on a fancy larger one for the mount out of blue card.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card the backing paper is also from the same design set as the image "Art Nouveau Bloom" and this will be found here, I then wrapped a blue silk ribbon around the middle and attached it to the back of the mount.

I then cut some leaf flourishes with a Cheery Lynn die and stuck them along the bottom and then placed my mounted image in the center. The sentiment is one from my stash thats been mounted onto another piece of blue card and then placed in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have used blue pearls in the top two opposite corners.

From here you will need to hop on over to Anna's. Don't forget to leave your comment for a chance of winning your choice of one of the fab digis available in store.

Hop! Hop! Hop!

Good luck and hope you're enjoying it so far.

And here is the Card I created for this Challenge.

This little chap is called "Joy to the World" and its from Connie Fong and you will find it here,  I printed it onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens, after I cut it out with a rectangle Nestabilitie die and used a fancy one for the mount out of lilac card. The sentiment is from my stash and I stamped it onto white card then mounted it onto a snowflake die cut also in lilac.

The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is a piece of the same lilac card and on top of this I have placed a paper from the Creative Expressions Christmas paper pad, and the diecuts down the right edge is from Memory Box and this is also cut out of the same lilac card as the mounts.

I then placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment at the bottom on the right side.

Now that youve seen my Card I do hope you will pop over to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and I hope you to will want to take part in this "U is for Unconvential" Challenge.
