Winnie Make a List

Afternoon everyone! Can’t believe it has been almost a week since I blogged something! If you remember me mentioning I was taking my youngest for her first settling in session in at pre-school….well it never happened!! Unfortunately she woke up with a bright red rash. So we postponed it to Tuesday and she was feeling much better and really enjoyed her self.

Anyhoo, I have also been battling a head ache on and off all week so although I’ve been getting a little crafty I’ve stayed away from the pooter a bit more than usual. My Mum needed a few cards suitable for posting so to kill two birds with one stone I had a play with the Winnie Fruit Punch Big Bundle Download and produced this one layer design and matching insert as my Polkadoodles inspiration for this week:

All the elements are from the collection and I layered them all together using Microsoft Word before printing the front panel onto white linen card and the insert onto a piece of white card.

It felt really odd for me using a pre-coloured image, seeing as I’m so addicted to colouring, but my head hurt to much to concentrate on colouring.

Supplies:

• Image: Winnie Make a List from Polkadoodles 
• DP: Winnie Fruit Punch - Paper Heaven Bundle 3 and Winnie Fruit Punch - Paper Heaven Bundle 4 
• Card: White Linen Card and Smooth White Paper

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Winnie Sharing is Caring

 

Happy Friday everyone! As you read this me and my littlest are off to Pre-School for the first of her settling in sessions…….she starts in September and I’m a bit wobbly about it!

Anyhoo, I’m here to share a little Polkadoodles loveliness today and I’ve been having a play with the super adorable Winston Collection. 

I already had the super sweet Winnie Sharing is Caring digi printed and half coloured with bright pink hair! And I thought she would match perfectly with the papers in the Winston Collection:

I even did a little decoupage on the flower to make it look 3D and as I don’t like to waste anything I used a couple of little offcuts to make the twisty things!
