Good morning well nearly weekend and the children will be back at school.

So what do we have for you this week at CRAFT challenge blog

We have a shape card challenge

ANY SHAPE CARD EXCEPT SQUARE OR RECTANGLE

our sponsors this week are

The Stamping Boutique and Melonheadz Doodles

now my normal card shape is square so this is a challenge for me so here is my card using my Quickutz dies for the shape

Well I am not sure if it is round or square a think a little of both 

I have used a cute snowman from The Stamping Boutique and coloured him with my Promarkers.

Memory box die for the snowdrifts and trees. I used some silver glitter card for this and also the matting. The image was cut with my stitched oval die. Few snowflakes from a punch.

Organza Ribbon and gems to finish off. the DP is a Paper Celler pad from way back.

Well that is my make for your inspiration. 

What shape will you be making dont for get to come and share with us.

I wonder what the rest of the team has done head on over to the blog for a gander.

Have a lovely day. i am off to have a look at some cookers.

Good morning a sad day as today is my last GDT card for the fab challenge blog I♥Promarkers. I have enjoyed my month and it has gone far too fast. So thank you for having me. So what have they for us this week.

CIRCLES

Our sponsor is Yours or Mine Papercrafts

yes they want to see Circles on your creation. Now me I am a Square card girl but immediately thought I would do a Circle card and only use Circles for my card.

So I dig out a Freebie set of stamps from a magazine I got last year featuring Wynn from Tiddly Inks

I folded a large circle I cut with a tonic Die for the base card and used my scallop Circles for the matting and the image. The sentiment was stamped and punched out with a circle punch and then matted on a scallop circle. Dp is from a merry & Bright Christmas pad. Added some Christmas Metallic ribbon and a Snowflake with a cicle red Pearl centre. 

Image is coloured with my PROMARKERS a must for the challenge

Well hope you like and we would love to see your Circles so please come and join us.

Thanks for popping by.

Serenity Blossom Chipboard Tag - C&C sample

Hi are you enjoying the school holidays. Well it is all very quiet round here I am wondering if people have taken advantage of the nice weather. I went for a nice walk yesterday with the dog. Well it was nice but think I walked a little too long and every 2 hours last night my feet and legs woke me up. So today it is a gentle one.

So I am here to share with you another of my samples for Nikkys Polkadoodles show last week. Loving the new Cds she has in the shop have some of the Colour therapy printed but my project today features another of the CD's SERENITY WISHES - Serenity Blossom. This time it is a Chipboard Tag to hang from your wall or a door in my picture.

The image has been coloured with my promarkers and the papers are from the Cd too. I have added some lace and seam binding. The dies used are Spellbinders and Tonic. Flowers are from my stash. A few pearls to finish off.

Hope you like. there are 10 fairies both black and white line drawings and also pre coloured along with some awesome papers and sentiments.

Thanks for popping by and dont forget we are still celebration Digi Choosdays 2nd birthday.

Serenity Resting Wall Plague

Happy Weekend. I don't usually share on a Saturday but as Polkadoodles had a fabulous show on Create & Craft I have some samples I made. Did you catch the show wow those samples of Nikkys new Adult Colouring CD's where amazing. Did you know that you can get them in download form from her shop.

Well my samples where for another of her awesome Cd's called Serenity Wishes available from the shop HERE. Now if you dont want the whole CD/ download then you can grab just the images and there is also paper bundles.

Now my plague features Serenity Resting and I wanted to make it more of a winter plague so used one of the Blue papers on the Cd and coloured her in blue.

Coloured with my Promarkers and my Lyra rembrandt Polycolor pencils. The sentiment ios also on the Cd. The Plague was from a local shop which I painted and then with some modge podge added the paper. I added some more paint on the edges to distress and added lots of glitter. The frame was cut using a Cheerylyn die and some silver glitter card. The toad stools are a Joy die. Used a fern punch and white and silver ribbon along with some blue flowers from wild orchid.

Well I hope you like it as much as i enjoyed making. Think I like Serenity in Blue and might have to make another for my craft room.

Thanks for popping by and do go and have a peep at the new collections in the shop.

I will be back again tomorrow with another of my samples.

If you didnt catch the show it is still on the channel web site for a week. Go have a peep and see if you can spot my plague I was so chuffed to see it.
