#214 The Male Room -Dots and or Sripes


 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at The Male Room 

#214 Dots and or Stripes. To see inspiration from the design team please visit the blog. 


For my card, I began with a 7" sq. white card, I laid a dark blue card for the mat. The striped paper is from my stash. I created the ship in a bottle and fussy cut the anchor with additional shells, from Hunkydory Coastal Charm 8" paper pad ad a Little Book - Coastal Charm. The sentiments are die cuts and finally I added several pearls.

 Sorry, as you can see , I still haven't mastered my new photo editing.

Hi and welcome to my bog. Today we begin a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenges - Kate has chosen #188 How Sweet It Is - please include something sweet. To see the inspiration from the design team please visit the blog. 

For my card, I began with a 7 x 7 inches white card. I added for the background part of a backing sheet from a Hunkydory set of  Christmas toppers and background card. I added a topper of the delicious Christmas cup cakes. Finally adding a sentiment. One more for my Christmas basket.

Four Legged Friends


Sorry, I still haven't got the photo editing sorted out, I will get there one day!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at MAWTT, Tina has chosen for the challenge - #192 Four Legged Friends. To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. 

For my card, I began with a 6" x 6" Kraft card.  I added a dark brown with varied coloured pattern stripes for the main background. Followed by two rectangle card, light brown and orange, laid at angles. I then added the topper from a pack by Dreamees Ltd of many dogs. This was added onto black card and added with 3d foam pads. I chose this dog because my son has one very similar and it's 1st birthday is due soon, so this card will be for Hugo. I finally added small flags of the patterned card and a few words cut from a background sheet of doggy words. The birthday sentiment is from a Hunkydory Paper pad - Just My Type. Have fun. 


 

#122 Pearly Sparkles - Pink/Pearls/Sparkles


 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today at Pearly Sparkles Helen has chosen #122 Pink/Pearls/Sparkles, in memory of Traci, the founder of this challenge blog. Traci loved the three required challenges, the Pink, the Pearls and of course Sparkle. To see the inspiration by the design team, please visit the blog.

I began with a white 6" card, I arranged it tent style. Firstly I added a piece of Pink and gold Mirri stripes.I added a page from a Little Book - Fairy Decadence. Then added a pink frame from a set of Hunkydory frames. I then decoupaged two layers fussy cut from two more pages from the book. The frame was added with 3d foam pads. I added a die cut greeting and finally pink pearls were added to each corner. I so enjoyed making this card, more feminine than I normally do.  I hope you too enjoy.
