Haystacks Scarecrow - Delightful Challenges DT

The challenge over at Delightful Challenges this week is Distressed/Vintage, it doesn't show very well, but the Haystacks digi which I coloured with Promarkers has tattered straw edges which I cut into several times and frayed them, the colouring is meant to look patchy in line with a distressed/faded look a scarecrow would have from being out in all weathers.  My die cuts are by Marianne Creatable, BP is from Artylicious, and riboon from my stash.

Enchantment - CD Sunday DT

Morning all, another gloomy and cold day, I really could do with some sunshine even for just for a couple of hours, we seem to have been shrouded in fog for ages now and have had to have the lights on all day this past couple of weeks.

This week our challenge over at CD Sunday is enchantment, I thought this decoupaged Fairy from Debbi Moore seemed quite enchanted with the flower and butterfly and would suit the theme perfectly. The BP is also from Debbi Moore, printed onto Hammered card and the borders were made with an MS Punch.

Have a good week everyone and hope to see your entry over at CD Sunday.

Fabulous Fifties - Delightful Challenges DT

It's new release time over at Digital Delights by Louby Loo, this month they have a fabulous set of digi's themed on the Fabulous Fifties.  I used Rockaround Sue, Fifties DP's, 50's Music Set. I can't say that I've ever seen a pink and black spotty poodle ! but the idea amused me and then he matched his mistresses dress, yep I know I'm weird, but I've been this way for many years now and it's probably to late for me to change now.

So the challenge this week at Delightful Challenges is Pink, Black & Silver 

Our sponsor this week

Scrapy Land is offering a $20 gift card to their store!!

New Beginnings - OLL DT

Yay!! my first posting as a member of the DT over at Ooh-La-La Challenge, our challenge for this fortnight is New Beginnings, so for me it was good to make a calendar.  My Ooh-La-La  gorgeous image is from the Carnival of Colour CD, I took the image into a calendar making program that came with my printer, I layered onto dark green mirri and Centura Pearl card, my new corner embelishments and the butterflies which I have for ages are made from Marianne Creatable dies.

Sea life - C D Sunday DT

Morning all. This week our challenge over at CD Sunday is Sea Life, so a good excuse to use this image from Joanna Sheens' Jayne Netley Mayhew Set, I decided to keep it quite simple for me as it's such a lovely image, my BP is from an Embossibilities CD by Sharon Duncan, I also used a MS Punch and the swirly die which is so delicate is by Memory Box, although it doesn't show in the photo I also used a little glitter to make the water sparkle.

Have a Heart - Delightful Challenges DT

It's the first challenge of the year over at Delightful Challenges and the theme for this week is Have a Heart, thought mine would be a good anniversary card, I used Love Birds digi and Wedding Anniversary senti from digital Delights by Louby Loo, coloured with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Pens, the BP is from Artylicious and one of my lovely Marianne Creatbles dies to frame the image with a little inking whilst it was still in the die.
