Supplies:  Cuthbert and Kiki - Kiki Bloom Digi image by Pollycraft Designs, 

Chipboard leaves coloured with copics, Papermania textured cardstock, 

Spellbinders Bloom die, SRM Sticker, copics, glossy accents and machine stitching.

Can you believe that it's my last week as Guest Designer with the Pollycraft Monday Challenge crew.  Paula - you are so amazingly talented - I loved playing with your wonderful digital creations - thank you for having me.  I had a BLAST!.

This week the challenge is "chipboard".  When I initially saw this theme I was wondering if I would produce anything!!  however, I dived into my stash and pulled out a packed of naked chipboard shapes by Papermania and got to work.

The card above features chipboard leaves which I coloured with a copic and then adhered with glossy accents.

Supplies:  Critters and Cogs - Lovebot digi image - Pollycraft, 

Papermania chipboard frame, clear stamp sentiment - Pollycraft, 

Staz on black, black sharpie, Papermania textured cardstock, docrafts kraft card blank, 

Spellbinders Labels 14, copics, glossy accents, red stickles and machine stitching.

My second card is using a chipboard frame which I coloured with black staz on and then ran a black sharpie around the edges to get rid of any white showing through.  The sentiment is by Pollycraft and is available in a clear stamp set here and the digi image is from the "Critters and Cogs" range - she is called lovebot!.  Don't you just adore her?

I coloured her with copics, added glossy accents to her pink nuts! and layered a second heart balloon with stickles on top for added dimension.

Thanks so much for peeking and I really hope you get a chance to play along this week.  Full details of the challenge are here.

And a card share.... made this card with last week's freebie digital image from Tales from Pollycraft.  I think it is just beautiful.  You can check out the blog and freebies here.  This week the freebie is sentiments which are great for adding the finishing touch to a card.

Supplies: Pale Blue pearlescent cardstock, gisela graham ribbon,

copics, pop dots, crochet thread and papermania button

So after photographing and posting this I was putting the card away when I spotted that I had forgotten to colour one of the Mom's arms!!!! LOL!!!!  Feel like I should post it with "spot the missing...." Also coloured the baby's onesie in a pale blue to finish it off.  Still smiling here at how tired I must have been when I coloured it not to spot the missing arm!.

New Paperplay Challenge - inspired by a book or movie

This week's Paperplay Challenge was set by DT Member - Kate.  "Let A movie or book inspire you. You can get inspiration from the title of the movie/book, from the cover art on a book or from a movie poster".

I got my inspiration from the movie "Jungle Book" / "Lion King!".  I used digital images by Jane which are available over on Squigglefly.  They are just adorable and so fun to colour in.  I used my promarkers and copics to colour and shade them.  Then used some patterned paper from my stash, prima flowers, machine stitching and pop dots... hey presto... !  I am sending it to my little niece who has been unwell and got out of hospital on Sunday evening last.  She is one and a half and I hope she will like the animals (hence the addition of the pink flower behind Leo!, there just had to be some pink added!!!).

Supplies: Jane's digital images - big boned, giraffe and Leo from Squigglefly,

PP by DCWV, prima flowers, pop dots and machine stitching.

Thanks so much for stopping by - it's nearly Friday!!!!.
