I fell in love with this image as soon as I saw it.

Goegeous, gorgeous paper from my favourite digital design Katie Pertiet over at Designer Digitals.

I could spend hours looking at and buying her beautiful paper sets.

This set in Oiselet Bleu

The beautiful charm, tiny feathers and pearl lace are both from ebay.

The ribbon is from stash and the rose from Wild Orchids.

My next card is again using an image from Digi Doodle Shop called 1800 Vintage Dress 6.

Every paper in this set is just beautiful and will be used over again.

Good morning all,

I hope that you have all survived the rain and the wind over the weekend. It was our festival here and all the floats were soaked and almost blown away. Its such a shame- all the effort that goes into decorating them and the weather is awful. 

Today over at CRAFT Challenge we have a colour challenge for you. Here is the palette.

As always we have several sponsors

Little Darlings Rubber Stamps

I chose one of the images from the timeless beauties set by Stitchy Bear.

These images are just gorgeous and although the colour palette is bright I have managed to use all of the colours to create this vintage look card.

I have to say I loved making this card and its going to be one that I only give to someone special.

The image is coloured with Promarkers.

The papers are part of a digi set from Designhousedigitals by Angie Hinks called True Romantics.

An exploding box for the tooth fairy.

Good morning all, 

I do hope you had a good weekend in spite of the weather. Here the weather has been very wet which has held up our builders quite a bit this week. This is only stage one of our building and is mostly the outside.

I am dreading the inside part being done!

Anyway on to brighter things.

Today over at INCY WINCY Designs  our new challenge is sponsored by 

The Stamp Fairy

We would like you to use more than 1 image in your projects.

You can merge them or do as I and use several individual images.

I made this exploding box to hold a little bag for my friend's little girl to put her teeth into when they fall out.

I have put a gorgeous little necklace inside for her in the meantime which has a tube of toothpaste and toothbrush charm on it.

Hopefully she will treasure both the box and the necklace.

The papers are from Nitwit collection - Gratitude.
