Tartan Christmas

Back to normal this morning - up at 6 am to get our youngest son to work, we get up earlier now than we did when hubby was working!

This is another Christmas card that I created last year, this one went to my Son's Girlfriend's Family.

The papers are from the Sara Davies A Winter's Tale Signature Collection, I inked the edges of everything.

The reindeer die and sentiment are both from the Sara Davies Winter Wonderland signature collection, I cut them from some brushed gold Mirri card stock.  I just added a simple sentiment to the inside.

Happy Birthday Grandson

This is the card that I created for my Mum to give to my eldest son on his Birthday.

I used the Hunkydory A Good Sport, it was the Hunkydory Club Gift this month and is a brilliant kit for those difficult masculine cards.

I used some Sue Wilson Pierced square dies to cut out the brushed gold Mirri card and also found a nice verse on line for the insert, my Mum likes 'nice words' in her cards.

Poinsettias & Holly

It's time for a new challenge at Ooh La La Creations and the theme for the next fortnight is Flowers chosen by Michelle. I have created a Christmas card using a super image and papers from the Ooh La La Creations Christmas Presence CD.

This is one of my favourite Christmas CDs, there are thirty beautiful collections on it.  The Poinsettia image and papers are both from the CD, I layered everything on red card stock and then gold card stock.

The sentiment and pearls are from my stash.  I also decorated the inside of my card to match with the same papers.

Make sure you pop over to the Ooh La La Creations Challenge Blog and check out the DT inspiration, we would love for you to join us for our Flowers Challenge.

Victorian Beauty

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme for the next week is Make it Digital. I have used this gorgeous collection called Victorian Beauty - as you probably know each set consists of one inked stamp, one coloured stamp, one matching paper and one composition.

I have used the composition to create my card, I printed it several times so that I could add some decoupage layers.  The sentiment is from LOTV, it's from their new digi stamp section.

I used the matching paper to decorate the inside of my card, I also printed some extra butterflies to decorate the front of my card and added some sparkle with my clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen.

Make sure you pop over to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog and check out the DT inspiration, we would love for you to join us for our Make it Digital Challenge. If you use a Paper Shelter image you could win a $30 Gift Certificate, if you use another image you can win 3 Digis of your choice.

Thank you for calling today, your company is much appreciated.

Life is too short ...

I have made this card for the current challenge at Less is More, the theme is Favourite Drink/Beverage and it is one layer week.

I haven't managed to enter for some time but when I saw the theme I remembered this fabulous coffee cup digi image on my Polkadoodles Work and Play 12 CD and thought it was perfect.  I coloured my image with Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens and added a sentiment that is also from the CD.  I have also created an insert for my card by resizing the coffee cup and adding another sentiment.

I would like to enter this card into the Less is More One Layer Challenge.

Thank you for calling this morning, please leave a comment so that I know you've been and will be able to come and visit you.

All Dressed Up

I didn't make a card for the new challenge at Ooh La La Creations last week so I decided to make one as a mid challenge reminder.

The theme is Feminine and I used this beautiful image called Rosalind from the All Dressed Up CD to create my card.

The papers are also from the CD, I added die cut flowers created with my Tattered Lace Beautiful Florals die and a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

The insert is also from the CD.

Make sure you pop over to the Ooh La La Creations Challenge Blog and check out the DT inspiration, there is still plenty of time to join us for our Feminine Challenge.
