Warm Winter Wishes

Today I though I would share the final card that I made for the Making Cards Magazine Christmas Special.

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

Through The Craft Room Door Challenge  - Always Anything Goes
ABC Christmas Challenge - "A" Anything Goes or something beginning with "B"

The Sun's in my Heart

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme for the next fortnight is Ribbon and/or Lace.  I have used this fun digital stamp called The Sun's In My Heart - as you probably know each set consists of one inked stamp, one coloured stamp, one matching paper and one composition.

I coloured her with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens and used papers from the Memory Box Valise collection.

I used both ribbon and lace and added some die cut flowers and gems.

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 Ribbon and/or Lace 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.

A New Baby Note

It's time for a new challenge at the Crafty Purple Frog, the theme for the next month is New Beginnings - it could be new year, a wedding, a new baby, a new job, anything at all that symbolises a new start or new part of someones life.

I have created a New Baby card using the Just a Note stamp from the Moonbeam Meadow collection. I used Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens to colour the cute image and added a sentiment from the Sweet Dixi Big Sentiments stamp set.

The papers are from the Neutral Dovecraft Back To Basics Goody Bag, I inked the edges of everything with Distress Ink and added a bow.

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.

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