Thank you

Good Morning,

Well here we are almost at the end of 2015, my how time flies!

We have a new challenge over at Natalie and Amy’s for you and it’s a nice easy one

‘Thank You’

For my DT card I dug out my Party Paws Digi Kit CD and played about with it in my Craft Artist Program. This digi kit will only work with this program, but Natalie and Amy have another Party Paws CD which you can use in your other programs such as MY Craft Studio.

I created my own decoupage for this gorgeous little chap and used it along with a Joanna Sheen signature die to create my card.

Good Morning,

The weather here is dismal – wet and dark, but at least the wind has dropped.

Today I would like to share a card I have made for my nephew. He is a grown man but only 21 so it’s difficult to decide what to do for his cards now.

The image is from Kenny K digital stamps here and is coloured with Promarkers.

The snowflakes were cut using Marianne dies

I really can’t remember where the papers are from. 

The sentiment was made on my computer.

The gems are from my stash

Good morning,

Today we have a new challenge over at 613 Avenue Create.

As always we're Anything Goes with an optional twist and since November 13th is Random Acts of Kindness Day our twist is to create a RAK for someone.  And there's actually a Random Acts of Kindness Foundation.  Check it out!

It’s my turn to make an Anything Goes project and here it it….

The gorgeous, gorgeous image is Noelle Holiday Hat by Rick St Dennis- here. Oh how I loved colouring her with my Promarkers. She will be used over and over!

The template for the bow card can be found at Sandra’s Scrap Shop - here.

Thanks to the inspiration from Chantal I used it to make a Christmas decoration for my best friend – which I suppose could be classed as a random act of kindness.

The papers are from Michelle Roos Christmas time set – here

The snowflakes were cut using two different Joy snowflake dies.

The pine branches were made using a memory box die.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

Gems and ribbon are from my stash.
