Discover your Dreams

I have created this card with the same Debbi Moore download that I used a couple of days ago.

Lots of my favourite fussy cutting again - I have inked the edges of everything and used foam pads to add dimension.

I had great fun playing with these downloads.

Thank you for popping in today, please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Sorry it's Late

I have created this card with another Debbi Moore download, this one is quite different from yesterdays though!  I love cutting out all of the different elements and then deciding how to arrange them on the card.

Everything on this card is from the download, all I have added is a card blank, foam pads and glue.

I fussy cut all of the elements and then inked the edges.

The last one ...

This is the last Father's Day card I will be making this year, this one is for my youngest son to give his Dad and he chose the image.

The fab car decoupage came from Debbi Moore's 'Cards for Men' CD, the spotty papers are from Docrafts 'The Good Life' collection and the others are all from the Debbi Moore CD.  I have layered everything onto black Core'dinations card stock including the sentiment tickets which are from one of my Bearly Mine Designs Designer Extreme CD's (I'm not sure which one because I just loaded all three onto my laptop and organised them into colours).  The only embellishments are brads from my stash and the three buttons that were made using my Epiphany Shape Studio.

This is the inside of my card decorated to match the front:

Aye, Aye, Pirate Fun

Good afternoon all, I hope you've all had a good week.

This is another card I've made for my eldest son to give to a friend for her birthday, yet another party he's been invited to.  This friend is a member of his Explorers group and last year their summer camp was on a Narrow Boat and they all had to dress as Pirates, hence the subject of the card.

I got out one of my Debbie More CD's and found some stripy backing paper in one of my NitWit Collections.  I used Kraft card as a base and cut a border from the same card using a spellbinders die, this has been topped with a ribbon strip from the CD.  The corrugated card and buttons came from my stash, I rolled some string to make a rope coil and topped it with a charm to finish the card.

This is the inside of my card decorated as usual.

Image: Debbi Moore Designs  - Funky Divas Kerry Jo CD

Papers:  NitWit - Aye, Aye Captain

, Tools:  Spellbinders - Ric Rac Diamond border, Labels 4. Scalloped Circles, Classic Squares (inside card)

Embellishments:  string, button and charm from stash

Sentiment:  Polka Doodles

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges
