Happy anniversary - Ooh-La-La Creations DT

What an awful night here in France and the day is not shaping up to be much better, high winds, heavy rain and hail through the night, now it's black skies, heavy rain and thunder, it's so dark we've got the lights on, there has been structural damage in some areas and yet more flooding on the Atlantic coast, 

So onto my card this week, our latest theme over at Ooh-La-La Creations Challenge is 'Happy Anniversary', I've gone for the more masculine type card this time, hence the lack of pretty bows and flowers, instead I've used bakers twine and real sea shells, the image and papers are from the Shawn Jenkins Collection CD by Ooh-La-La, this CD is one of my favourites from their range with so many fantastic images, I also used an Martha Stewart punch on the front edges, insideI've overlaid the BP with a Spell Binders hearts and lattice die cut panel.

On the Beach - CD Sunday DT

This weeks theme at CD Sunday brings back memories for me.  Many many years ago I used to be a surfer, most weekends would find me at a beach in north Devon, surf boards at hand, a small single layer two person tent to grab a couple of hours sleep, and a single burner primus stove for cooking breakfast happy days. 

So the theme is 'On the Beach' my card uses elements and papers from Shabby Chic Seaside by Debbi Moore, the cardstock is Centura Pearl and the dies are from Spellbinders Grand range.

Aged to Perfection - CD Sunday DT

This weeks offering from me for CD Sunday DT uses papers and image from Crafters Companion Mulberry Wood, layered on to Pearlescent card and using my new Grand nesting die set, finished off with some ribbon threaded through the holes and tied at the top, love the cute bears with their Champagne, which is where it fits in with our theme 'Aged to Perfection' - I decided it was vintage champagne and therefore aged to perfection. My CD bit is the swirly BP in the corners above the ribbon.

Reflections - OLLCB DT

Morning all, a lovely bright and sunny morning here, it's time for the last challenge of 2012 over at Ooh-La-La Creations Challenge Blog, and the theme this time is 'Reflections' so you a few options here, I decided to go with the mirror type reflections as opposed to the thought type of reflection.  So my reflection is in water, my image and co-ordinating papers are from the Carnival of Colour CD, I also used a Spellbinder die to frame the image, and Britannia 'happy birthday' dies and finally added some ribbon and dew drops to embellish.
