Anything Goes at PCJ

Morning All, I'm not feeling all that perky this morning so I will keep it short and sweet. It's time for a brand new challenge over Paper Crafting Journey and this fortnight the theme is:

Anything Goes

For this fortnightly challenge, we are sponsored by Pink Cat Studios. They have such a lot of cute images.

I coloured up a lovely image called Lily Sugar Plum Fairy, but unfortunately I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather and haven’t had chance to make her into a card yet. I’m going to finish the card off for next week to share in PCJ’s midway reminder.

In the meantime pop over to PCJ and see what the rest of the DT have made for your inspiration.

Traditional Christmas at Whimsy

Morning everyone, I’m here to share my first challenge card as part of the Whimsy Digital Design Team. The theme for this month is

Traditional Christmas

I’ve used one of the gorgeous new releases for November, Christmas Tree by Lia Stampz:

The image has been coloured with ProMarkers and plenty of Stickles. The rest of the card is quite CAS as the baby bump has been giving me terrible heartburn and as much as I wanted too I couldn't sit at my craft desk any longer. The patterned papers are from the First Edition Christmas Vintage 6x6 paper pad, he Mirri card, ribbon and poinsettia are all from my stash and the sentiment is a HobbyArt clear Stamp.

Please hop across to Whimsy Inspirations Challenge to see what the other designers have created (also have a peak at the prize and enter while you are there!!).

Fireworks at Sarah Hurley

Evening All. I’ve a busy few days including a bit more Morning Sickness (yucky)midwife appointments, blood tests and other errands so I’m here (at last) to tell you about the new challenge that started yesterday over at Sarah Hurley Challenge.

Our theme this month has been chosen by my team mate Nat and she has picked a theme of:

Fireworks and Bright Colours

I’m not sure why but Mr Mojo seemed to desert me on this one and I was really stumped as to what to create. In the end I settled on this (but I’m not that happy with it!).

 

My inspiration was that when Firework Rockets explode in the sky they look like hundreds and hundreds of tiny stars. I’ve used papers from Sarah’s Craft Basics – Bright Collection, a set of Sizzix Framlits Star Dies, a silver pen, lot’s of Stickles Glitter Glue and a computer generated sentiment to create these CAS cards.

While I’m here I must also remind you about submissions for the Sarah Hurley Lookbook Volume 2. You can see all the details here.
