Homemade Tree

This is the card I have made for this weeks CD Sunday Challenge - Snow People.  As soon as I saw the theme I knew I was going to use my Ooh La La Christmas Presence CD, there are so many fabulous snowman images on this CD.

The image is called Homemade Tree, I just love these whimsical images, and the papers are Pink Petticoat.  I punched a border and then promptly covered it up with the image and sentiment, which is a LOTV stamp, some card candy and a button and twine complete my card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Picked Flowers

This is the card I have made for the current challenge over at A Day for Daisies, the theme is monochrome.  I bought this adorable image a couple of weeks ago - she is just so gorgeous.

I apologise for the poor photo quality, I'm still struggling with my son's camera, I will be so pleased when hubby gets back from India with the one I usually use.

I have coloured her with pale blue ProMarkers to match my Papermania papers and made a paper bow with a fabulous little die from Lil' Inker Designs.  The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat, I added some gems to the corners and some stickles to the flowers in her hair.
