I wanted to post this as I know not everyone checks their blogs/emails etc at the weekend, but reckoned I would post one last time about the Royal Battle.  We are at the closing stages of the battle ....  it is down to 6 teams...... the challenge this week is to create a his and her project (co-ordinating).

We would LOVE your vote - so click here to pop over to cast your vote (poll will open Sunday for 24 hours from the time it is made live).  Thanks from the Dream Team - Kathy, Fika and me. 

Now for a card share.  Made this for this month's Hero Arts Challenge - Mother's Day and Home. 

I used the Hero Arts digital kit - Poetic Petals and a sentiment from TLcCreations.  This was a freebie saying/sentiment and be sure to check out their blog/site where they do wonderful word art on a weekly basis.

I am loving my new curved rectangle die cuts and added a little fimo button which I made.  The sentiment reads dan.de.li.on (yellow, golden annoying weed, when picked by a child, is all mom needs.)  Whilst I realise this flower was suppose to be a daisy and not a dandelion I think it holds a striking resemblence to a dandelion.  I added some stickles too... for that extra little bit of sparkle.

Thanks so much for peeking.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend and I will post our entry to the Royal Battle in my post tomorrow.  Many many thanks for all your well wishes and support to date.

Hero Arts Flickr Group reaches 30,000 uploads!

Hero Arts announced on Friday that the FLICKR Group had nearly reached 30,000 uploads since March 2008.  So to celebrate nearly reaching the 30,000 project milestone they decided to have a giveaway - those people at Hero Arts are just AMAZING.

Here is my entry for the chance to win!. 

I used a digital image from Hero Arts called Poetic Petals.  I left it uncoloured and added a digital image from the Hero Arts Winged Friends digital kit which I coloured with a copic ciao.  I cut brown cardstock for my base, embossed red cardstock with a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - stylized flowers.  I then added ribbon and machine stitched around the edges including over the ribbon.  Used Quickutz circles and Spellbinders Scalloped Circles Large for the matting and layering.

I used glossy accents on the "winged friend's" body and used Jennifer McGuire's technique of putting some thread into the glossy accents for the antenna.

I hope you will visit the Hero Arts Flickr Group - it is chock full of inspiration and an amazing group of friends.  Thanks so much for stopping by - hope you have a wonderful week.
