Baby Girl Card & digital freebie

Supplies: Meljen Designs digital image, copics, Quickutz cookie cutter circles, 

Spellbinders Scalloped Circles Large, fimo button, ribbon and crochet thread.

Wanted to do a quick share today - a Baby Girl card I made using a freebie digital image by Meljen's Designs.  Isn't it just adorable.  Meljen's Designs does freebies on a weekly basis and I discovered them on Free Digital Stamps blog a while ago.  They also opened up their own Paper Craft Planet Group and if you join them there - this image is a freebie available to members.  Be sure to check it out.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Hope you have a wonderful day.

April CCC

This is the card I made for Deborah's April Card Chain Challenge (CCC).  I try to participate each month as it is so much fun getting a card from somewhere in the world and sending a card to someone (normally not in the same country as you).  This month I got to send one to Corey in the USA.    I used a Pure Innocence digital image by Heather Ellis.  I just love these images.  I played around with some colour pencils, sansodor (gamsol) and a paper stub!!! so fun as it was my first time trying it.  Will need to practice quite a bit I think!!!  Added glossy accents to the mail box, a fimo button which I had made recently and my new MS lace punch.

This month the template was this (Deborah also provides a colour swatch or theme that you can use... but I went for the template!).

and I made this....

Can't understand why the colour/contrast in the photo isn't so great.  Will try and retake and post it again.

I also want to share the beautiful card that I received from the super talented Sally.  Last month I sent Sally a card for the March CCC, so it was so fun receiving one from Sally this month.  Sally worked on the sketch/template too.

Be sure to keep an eye here for the next month's sign up if you want to play along.  Thanks for peeking.

I want to give a HUGE shout out and THANK YOU to all supporters of the Dream Team that have helped us on our way over the past five weeks.  It has been quite a journey!!! and Kathy, Fika and I had a wonderful time.  The last 24 hours of the Battle was absolute nail biting stuff and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your help, support and encouragement.

Hope you have a great day.

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.

Congratulations Card

Firstly, thank you all for your lovely best wishes for my birthday.  I had a great day and looking forward to a fun weekend.

Made this as an Engagement or Anniversary Card.  Used a precious moment image and the sentiment is from the new Papermania range.  Also stamped a heart above the couple in the boat and added stickles for some added sparkle (but this isn't clearly evident in the photo).  Added a very fine ribbon (Papermania) and fimo button with sparkle which I made.

Thanks so much for peeking and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
