GUEST DESIGNER

 Hello Everyone,

My second post of the day sharing a card that I have made as Guest Designer on Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge.

I was kindly provided with an image from The Paper Shelter who is one of the two sponsors for the challenge.  I decided on a pink and silver combination for the card and coloured the image with copics. The pink ribbon is upcycled from a birthday card and the floral paper is from Wild Rose Studio.

The theme of the challenge is Anything Goes and as well as the Paper Shelter, Polkadoodles are also sponsoring for this fortnight.

I would like to enter:

Simon Says Stamp Weds - Anything Goes

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Creations in Pink - A/G Mainly pink

We Love Stamping - Feminine

Thank you for your visit and have a good day, what's left of it.

DESIGNER PAPER

 Morning Everyone,

This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where the theme is 'Designer Paper'.

I thought this was an ideal time to use some of my Stampin Up specialty paper which is see through and the flowers have a felty feel to them.  I layered it onto some green card and then a silver mirri stitched surround.  A die cut Spellbinders poinsettia in white has been glued together and sparkle added to it by way of white glitter.  I also used silver mirri for the leaves, heat embossed a sentiment and cut that out with a stitched banner.  Silver ribbon finished it off.

There are two prizes on offer and the closing date is Tuesday, 9th April so still plenty of time to enter.

I would like to enter:

ABC Christmas - F for faux stitching

Christmas Kickstart - Get Your Grinch on (use green)

Colourful Options - Green

Rudolph Days - Anything Christmas

Snippets Playground - snippets used were the poinsettia, sentiment and silver leaves.

Thank you for taking the time to read and I will be back soon.

FAVOURITE FUN FOLD

Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts at As You Like it this morning and we are asking to see your favourite fun folds. 

I don't make many myself, but when I do it's usually this z-fold and it's one of the easier ones to make. For my card I've used paper from an old LOTV pad and a floral image which came with a magazine a few years ago.  I have coloured with copics and cut it out with a notched corner die.  This sentiment inside is from a Penny Black set.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I would like to enter:

MONOCHROME OR COLOURFUL

Morning Everyone,

Not had a good week here. We lost one of our little dogs at the weekend and we're still getting used to him not being around.  It was all very quick with him being under the weather late Thursday night to going in his sleep on Saturday night.  The vet seemed to think it could have been sepsis. He was such a little character and we miss him dearly.

On a more happy note we have a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking whether you prefer to work with monochrome or colour. 

I prefer to work with colour as it's a lot more cheery but saying that doesn't mean I don't do monochrome at all because I do.  For my card I have used my MFT happy birthday block with rainbow paper, which I love, but alas I think that's my last sheet.  I've coloured and fussy cut two birthday chicks, also from MFT, and added them with three sparkly dots and a die cut balloon.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I would like to enter:

Paper Fundays - the Dies have it

We look forward to seeing your entries.  Have a good rest of the week.
