Owl Always Love You - Digi Chooseday Challenge



This week's challenge for Digi Chooseday is "Celebrations"  So I decided to use the digi kit called "Owl Always Love You" from www.polkadoodle.co.uk I printed off the papers and decided to do a gatefold card. I adhered the papers to the card, then cut out a spellbinder circle and scalloped circle and some twigs and arranged one of the owls on the front.  So quick and easy to make! I love digi kits!

Mum to Be


Hello from rainy Germany!! Yet another day wet and windy!! So it is a good day to craft me thinks! I had a request from a colleague at work to make a card for a Mum to Be.  So I chose this image from Redonkulous and coloured her with my Graph'it markers and mounted the image onto some Spellbinder dies in various papers and cardstock.  Cut out flowers and a butterfly added a little bling and sentiment. I think this card is so pretty, what do you think? 

I am entering this card to : Creative Craft Cottage Blog - Anything goes.

Polkadoodles Challenge - Christmas Tag



Oh I loved this challenge - A Christmas Tag! Well mine isn't a small tag by any means!  It is 5x7" size!  I took some papers and embellishments from Home for Christmas CD Rom available from www.polkadoodles.co.uk  in to my Craft Artist 2 programme and made the background to the tag. Then printed out another Santa and embellishments and decoupaged them. I found a couple of wooden keys in a Home Décor store here in Germany in the bargain bin, so I took one and covered it with flitter flakes and added Santa's Magic Key.  I attached it to the tag with ribbon. I also took a sentiment from the CD rom and cut it out using a Spellbinders die, distressed the edges using pan pastels. Cute eh?

Flatfriends Challenge - Christmas

 
Oops! This should have been posted on the 1st November but my schedule post didn't work! I know why now as I wasn't doing it properly! Lol!  So now I know for next time. 
Anyway, this is my Flatfriends DT Challenge card.  My Angel of Hope!  We all need an angel to watch over us, so I chose her for my design.  I coloured her with Promakers added a little glitter and gave her a dotty background using the promarkers also.  Cut her out on a Spellbinders die and matted that on another Spellbinders frame die. Added a sentiment on another Spellbinder die.  I love Spellbinders, can't you tell xx

The New Arrivals




These little keepsake boxes and card were made by using Mo Manning digi stamps. I printed them out and coloured them with my Promarkers and Graph'its.  I had the two boxes in my crafty stash and covered them with some papers from a Do Crafts paper pack.  I added bows and embellishment to finish the card and the boxes. These are made for my friend's grand babies. I hope she likes them.

Autumn Colours - Digi Chooseday Challnge


This week's Chooseday Challenge is : Autumn colour.  I chose this image from Featherbird Digi Bundle available from  www.polkadoodles.co.uk and printed it out on cream cardstock.  I then used pan pastels to soften the edges, matted it on to a Spellbinders frame and then used pan pastel around the edges too. I matted and layered it onto brown, rust and cream cardstock and then onto a brown card. I added two die cut feathers from Tattered lace and a sentiment. That is it folks! Hope you like it x
