The Paper Shelter - Be My Valentine

This week at The Paper Shelter we have an easy peasy challenge for you... Valentines because, of course, Valentines day is tomorrow.
I have used Jurassic Love on my card, very cute :)

I have used papers from MME and the image is coloured with prisma pencils.

The Paper Shelter is currently having a DT call so if you love working with the most super cute images around then this is the call for you.  Go and check out THIS POST!

Digital Tuesday Challenge - Distressing

This week over at Digital Tuesday Challenge we would like to see distressing on your projects. Our sponsor is Bugaboo which is where this image I used came from..........

I have coloured the image with prisma pencils and blended with OMS.  The papers are Kaisercraft "Fine & Sunny" from the 6.5 x 6.5 pad, I have distressed the edges of my paper layers then inked with brown ink and a foam blender.

Please pop by DTC and check out the rest of the teams projects and join in with our challenge.

DTC - Your Fav Colour

This week at Digital Tuesday Challenge we want to see card using your favourite colour :)  Easy peasy!

My fav colour at the moment for using on cards is melon pink. 

I have also used some other colours as just pink would be a little much no matter how much I love it.  I have also used one of my newer saturated canary images.

Hope you will come and play along.

Show us Your Sparkle with Southern Girls

Southern Girls is back for 2012 with a new look and a new challenge, plus fabulous new sponsors. Our first challenge is "Show Us Your Sparkle", we want to see shimmer and shine on your projects, anyway, anyhow!

Here is my DT sample featuring my little Will on his 3 month photo shoot.  As you can see he had just started to tentatively smile when we took this, now he is a full on smiler... so cute.

I have used an image from Pink Gem who are a sponsor for this challenge called "Carrie Caterpillar" 

I coloured her using prisma pencil's and OMS, I added some highlights using baby blue liquid pearls.  The letter stickers are AC Thickers and the paper is Imaginence,  the doily transparency is from Hambly.

Hope you will come and join us at SGC for our challenge.

The Other Commission Card

This is the partner for the previous Cuddly Buddly card I posted a few days ago with the bird.  I used some elements and papers from a DDH Jen Allyson kit called Nostalgia.  I was a bit gutted as when I had finished the card I decided it would have looked better with the edges of the element inked so I tried to make them stand out with a brown edging with an ink pen, hmmmm it is ok but not exactly what I wanted.  I do like the mulberry paper cheery blossoms and buttons though.  They match the sewing theme going on with the card.

I am entering this in the following challenges.......

Truly, Madly, Crafty - Anything Goes
Bearly Mine - Anything Goes
Cupcake Craftroom - Anything Goes

The Paper Shelter - Anything Goes

This week is ANYTHING GOES at The Paper Shelter Challenge, so I decided to make a waterfall card with some cute girly TPS images.  I cropped the images so the faces are the main focus and fitted in the squares nicely.  I used the following images (I have included links to the appropriate area in the shop)

Rapunzel

Sophie in the Country

In the 20s

Fairy Emma

The papers are digital papers and the cardstock is SU Cameo Coral.  Hope you will come over and join in with us at the Paper Shelter Challenge, remember you may use any image you like and the theme is anything goes.

Waving Thank You...

Ok it is getting harder and harder to come up with post titles these days, for newcomers to my blog you may wonder why???? She has only been blogging for a few months!!!!  Well actually this is my 3rd blog, for some reason my blogs seem to crap out and freeze up or delete themselves after 2 years, I think I am cursed.   So yeah it is getting a bit harder to come up with titles after 4 years.

I made this card this morning..........

 The image is called Winnie and she is from Krista Smith at Saturated Canary.  I followed a sketch from THAT CRAFT PLACE challenge and the challenge at The Saturated Canary Challenge is ANYTHING GOES so I am entering that too.

Here is a little close up of my colouring and the image, I am definitely getting alot better with my prisma pencils which is FANTASTIC!!!!

 And here is a little close up of the flags, just for fun coz I love how glittery and cute they are :)  The stamps are from heroarts and are actually meant to be put away for Christmas for me from the kidlets.  hmmm that's the problem when you buy your own Christmas gifts and you LOVE them.lol.

The paper is from a cool set of digi papers called Mini Flowers by SherylK and they are totally my fav colours, there are another 9 cute designs in the set, very cute.

Thanks Geoff!!!!

I made this little cutie for Geoff who works with Andrew at Hatuma, he sent us a lovely Peter Rabbit book for  William and a lovely book that is a true story about a puppy called HERBERT for the other  little Forsyths to congratulate them on their new brother.  The thing that is so surprising is that Geoff is unmarried & lives on his own!  I was so blown away particually when I opened the books up and he had written a lovely paragraph in each one.  What a great guy, and just so you know he was until recently single, a great catch for the lucky lady that has snaffled him I think.  The image is from PollyCraft and I have used their Sketch from the challenge for my card.  

 H

Here is a close up of my blinged up star, coloured with Copics and Prisma pencils and then covered with Tattered Angel Glimmerglam in Pixie Dust which gives it awesome shine and bling.

And here is a close up of the coloured image, I am regretting having left my copics gathering dust for a while since I have gotten my prismas because used together and then blended over with OMS the results are awesome.
