The Paper Nest Dolls GDT - Birthday Emma!

Good Morning Folks!  I am so honoured today to have been asked to guest design for The Paper Nest Dolls.

For my card I have used the adorable Birthday Emma which can be found in store here.   The dps I have used are by Papermania and I've backed them onto coredinations cardstock and used a MS punch around the page.  The banner and corner feature are La-La Land dies, the ribbon is from my stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I have coloured the image in with Copics and added some frantage for bling.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

The Paper Shelter DT - Anything but a card!

Good Morning!!  Hope you're all having a lovely week so far.  Today's card is for The Paper Shelter and this week our challenge is "Anything but a card" so I decided to alter a note book for a change.

I have used the gorgeous "Follow me on Fairybook".  As I have been suffering with a blasted headache for the past week it was great that I was able to just print out this pre-coloured image and backing paper.  All I did was add some lace, gems and butterflies from my stash and cut out the pennant with a La La Land die and the swirl with a Magnolia doohickey die.

Here is a close up of the sweetest little fairy to which I've added some frantage and a little distress ink around the edges.

This is the inside cover of the book using papers from the "Shopping Girl" paper pack and a doohickey Tag.  Thanks for stopping by.  I do hope you'll join in with the challenge this week over at The Paper Shelter.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Evening Lovlies!  Hope you've all had a lovely day with your Dad's and were able to spoil them!  Had a lovely day with my hubby and made this card for him.  I decided to try CAS and to be honest don't like this card at all, it's just not me or my usual style but thought I would share it with you anyways.

I used this poor ol' lonely and forgotten stamp from LOTV, isn't he sweet?!  Added faux stitching all around at that's it lol!

The Paper Shelter DT - Flower Power

Morning Folks!  WOW Wednesday comes around way too fast don't ya think?  Today is another challenge over at The Paper Shelter and this week our theme is Flower Power.  How marvellous is that?!  Most of us use flowers on all of our creations so this should be an easy one. 

I decided to make an easel card for a change and got a bit snap happy with the camera lol.  The dp I have used is by Magnolia as are the butterflies and tag which are all doohickey dies.  The ribbon is from my stash and I've added a brad.  The rose ribbon, lace and flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Here is a close up of the coloured image to which I've added some frantage for a bit of texture and bling.

I have used a sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley of the tag.
