Time for Another Challenge at The Paper Shelter

Yes & the challenge starting today at The Paper Shelter is "Lace & Pearls", one of my favourites, who doesn't love lace & pearls (well obviously not everyone lol but lots of you I'm sure).  For my card I used their "Beautiful Mermaid" image & I used the coloured version for quickness, just adding some chalk to her cheeks & some Stickles to the water.  The paper is digi, printed on both sides & I finished with a die cut border & corner, punched (& covered with Glossy Accents), a ticket & lace & pearls (of course).  I hope you can join us :o)

As usual our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a really fabulous prize of $30. 

But as always this comes with the proviso that you must have used one of their products on your card and that could be a Image, Papers or a Printable all available on their website The Paper Shelter but even if you don't they will still give you 3 digi images of your own choice, so you really can't loose! 

The challenges: 

Digistamps 4 Joy - Anything Goes

A Gem of a Challenge - Anything with B (butterflies, border)

Creative Creations - Bingo (sentiment, image, pearls)

ABC - No Flowers

Artistic Inspirations - Anything Goes

I hope you're having a wonderful week xx

It's Sunday ...So...Let's Get Sentimental :o)

Yes, as it is Sunday it means time for another Sentimental Sundays challenge & this time it is "Ombre Hair".  I thought I was going to really struggle with this but it was easier than I imagined.   It did help that we are sponsored by the wonderful Krista & Saturated Canary & the DT got to work with her gorgeous images :D  I chose "Hipster" & coloured her with ProMarkers.  The papers are "Retro Mania" from The Paper Shelter & I finished the card with punched butterflies, flowers, buttons & a ticket.  I hope you can join us, have fun with this technique & get the chance to win some fabulous images :D

Cuddly Wuddly

Wow! Another week has flown by probably cos work is exceptionally busy & short-staffed, so as you can imagine I am mighty glad it is nearly the weekend (just gotta get through today).  Today sees the start of a new challenge at Jellypark Friends & this time it is"Cuddly Wuddly".  For my card I used this cute "new baby boy or girl with teddy" image which is on sale at the moment & only costs 63p - what a bargain.  I coloured him with ProMarkers & as the paper is very fancy & glittery (by First Addition, "Up, Up & Away".  I didn't add any more embellishments apart from a satin teddy & some pearls. 
There are fab new releases at Jellypark today  too, you can check them out HERE :o)

Catching Up...(be warned it's a long post)

Wow! That was a busy week, starting last Friday with us having our 3 grandchildren to stay until Tuesday (son & DIL were at a wedding but came back to ours to stay on Sunday night too) & then work has been ridiculously busy & short staffed, with 2 people on holiday & one person off sick (& that is nearly half our team). So I am trying to have a catch-up with everything this weekend.  Starting with Sentimental Sundays challenge which this week is "Child's Play" (with a sentiment) & I used this cute coloured image from TPS called "Happy Times", the papers are digi (I have a new printer at last) & I finished the card with string, die cut banner, greeting & staples.  We are sponsored this week by Sweet & Sassy & I hope you can find time to join us :o)

Ooooh & I must say that I have my PC back!  Hooray! My clever son Craig fixed it & everything is just as it was before it went bang :o)

As we had a busy weekend/week I didn't have time to post my last week's Sentimental Sundays DT card which was for the Anything With Wings challenge & sponsored by ADFD & I used their "Frosty Snowflake Fairy":

This week I also made the very hard decision to leave Di's Digi Challenge DT.  I've worked with Di for years, even before she started the challenge blog & thought I'd post a couple of my favourite cards made with her gorgeous images:

& if you're looking for more challenges Di's challenge that started yesterday is "Stitch it Up".  Well if you got this far, I'm impressed & thanks for looking! Enjoy the rest of the weekend & have a fab week xxx
