October Card Chain Challenge and Paperplay DT Announcement

I took part in Deborah's Card Chain Challenge for the first time in October.  I had to make a card with a specific colour palette or sketch with thanks/gratitude as the theme.  The recipient of my card was the lovely Dawn in NZ.  She sent me a note yesterday to say that my package had arrived to her home safe and sound.  That postie was super speedy given that I only posted the package on November 2nd. 

Here was the card which I made to send her.

Supplies - Kraft card blank, Hero Arts Flower Wallpaper, Hero Arts Butterflies, Sentiment Hero Arts CL139

and pop dots

I also submitted another entry for the Hero Arts "unexpected" colours challenge this week.

Supplies - PP by Papermania, Ribbon by Papermania, Share the Joy Cling set by Hero Arts,

Sentiment from Hero Arts Holiday Sayings Set, Star stamp by Forever Friends, Fimo buttons made by me!

and white embroidery floss.

I don't know where I was yesterday! but I managed to miss the Paperplay Challenges DT Announcement.  I made the Design Team....woohoo.... will be doing the happy dance all day.  I am so thrilled.  Check out the blog / challenges here.

Hope you have a great week.  Thanks for stopping by!.

Paperplay Challenge - Parlez Vous?

Happy Saturday!.  This week's Paperplay Challenge is to use a language other than English on your card.  I made a card with a Hungarian Greeting on it.  Can you guess what it says?

Supplies - Hero Arts Friends Clings, CK Ali's handwriting font,

PP - Cosmo Cricket, wooden heart, misc. gem stone  and embroidery floss

This is a new Friends Clings set from Hero Arts that I just opened and used for the first time - I love it!.  Did some paper piecing, machine stitching, added some bling and a wooden heart.  The font is Ali Edwards font from Creating Keepsakes (link to free download above).  I printed it in Word and then free handed it on to the card.  The patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket.  Thanks for visiting and the card says "I love you"!.  Have a great weekend.
