A Chilled Out Male

Hi Everyone,

Today we have a card for a chilled out male (aren't they always?). I always struggle with male cards and haven't made one for a while, so her it is. I am entering it into 5 challenges:

Paper Sundaes - For the boys

Pollycraft - Chill time

Incy Wincy - Anything goes

City Crafter - Get your digi on

Papertake Weekly - Penny for the guys.

The image is from My Favourite Things and I have paper pieced most of it, the bits that are coloured are with my Lyra. The sentiment is computer generated and everything else is from my stash.

Thanks for looking and see you next time.

Tis the season!

Hi Everyone,

It's that time of year when we have to start thinking about Christmas cards. I got a few done with the Christmas in July challenges but I have so many more to do. I am entering this card into 4 challenges:

Papertake Weekly - Sparkly & Bright

ABC Challenge - G is for glitter

Mo's Digital Challenge - Pick a Season

Totally Papercrafts - Bling it on.

The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and coloured with Lyra Aquacolour. The paper is Kaisercraft 'Season's Greetings'. I used an EK border punch and the snowflakes were cut with Cricut, Accent Essential cartridge. I have added glitter to the ends of the snowflakes and put a Kaiser rhinestone in the centre of both. The sentiment is a Making Memories rub on.

Thanks for looking, till next time

Think Pink

Hi everyone,

Todays card is dedicated to everyone that has been touched by breast cancer. As a survivor myself I know the trauma that not only the sufferers go through but also the family and friends. Lets all work together to rid the world of this disease.

I am entering the card into the Cuttlebug Spot challenge.

It is a simple card but I hope the message comes across loud and clear. The bird and birdcage were cut with Cricut, Serenade cartridge. I embossed the birdcage with Cuttlebug, Forest Branches. The words are from a Technique Tuesday stamp set, the rhinestones are from Kaisercraft and everything else is from my stash.

Until next time
