Challenge #287 - Easter - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well can you believe its almost Easter and the A Team decided we should get ahead with our Easter Cards so this weeks theme is all about creating a card for it.
But before I show you the card I have made you will want to know who is not only sponsoring us but also whose images we are using for this Challenge.


And they are offering you a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website and they have some really stunning images to play with this, and not only these but also printables and papers lots to choose from also they often have special offers to at really reasonable prices. But this is only if you have used one of their products on your card but even if you haven't they will still give you 3 digis of your own choice and you really cannot loose can you? Please can you remember you can enter three projects but at least one of them must carry one of products please.
And now to show the card I created for one of our granddaughters.


This little lady is titled "I am a Easter Bunny" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used the Nestabilitie Egg Die and cut her out and created a pink mount for her out of pink card. The sentiment was also stamped onto the smallest diecut and cut a slightly larger one out of pink card for the mount.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white one with a first mount out of pink card, the papers are from Sweetshoppe Designs Papers and I have used 5 of the papers and used a Martha Stewart bunny border punch on all but one of the layers and then stuck them across the base mount and then wrapped a white ribbon around and attached it to the back of the mount.
The mounted image was then placed towards the left and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner, to finish of I have used several of the novelty Easter buttons down the right side and along the bottom of my card.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Easter Time" Challenge.

Challenge #190 - "Boys Birthday" - Pink Gem Designs

Good Morning Gemsters well the last two weeks have been extremely difficult for me but Im hoping that I will soon maybe gets things sorted health wise but trying to do so I may have another flare up and in the last four months I have had 4 and each time its getting more painful and taking longer to sort out, I suffer with torturous Diverticulitus and its not easy to manage for sure. Anyway I think I had better change the subject as Im sure you dont need to know all the nasty details, this months Challenge is "Boys Birthday" and as one of my great grandsons is potty about Dinosaurs I thought the image I have used would be ideal.

Here is the result of my Card


This Image is titled "Monsters Party" and you will find it here, I printed it onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens, I then cut it out with my nestabilitie die and mounted it onto a larger one cut out of green card. I also did a similar thing with the sentiment.
The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is green card and on top of this I have used the "Fabusaurus" Papers and you will find them here, they are also from Pink Gem Designs, I have used four of the papers, the first one is a green background with flowers on, the the other three papers I have used in different sizes and along the edges I have used a EK Success Dinosaur's border punch and layered them up as shown in the photo.
I then placed my mounted image as shown also in the photo and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner and to finish of I have used several dinosaur buttons down the right hand side and the bottom left hand corner.

Challenge #285 - "Away with the Fairies"

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well the theme over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog is "Away with the Fairies" as youve probably heard from me before one of my daughters says thats what I am and bought me a placard to put on my door, I hope it doesnt mean Im dopey it hopefully means I get rather distracted with my thoughts.
Anyway as always we are being sponsored by The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30 to


spend on their website, but this is providing you have used one of their products on your project being a Image, Papers or Printable but even if you have you will still receive 3 digi Images of your own choice so its certainly worth taking part in our Challenge. But please remember you are only allowed to enter 3 projects/cards and at least one of these must have one of our products on one of your cards/project.
And now to show you my Card.


This little lady is "Dew Drop" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens and cut her our with my Nestabilitie Die, I did the same thing with the sentiment which is a stamp from my stash, and used a smaller die from the same die set to cut it out and mount it onto green card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of green card the papers are from the "Zoe Spring" paper set from The Paper Shelter and you will find them here. I have used 4 papers from the set the first one is a pale blue with slightly darker leaf pattern on it, the second is lilac one and I used a leave border down the edge the third paper is a green paper with flowers on and I used the leaf border punch down the edge like the lilac one, the fourth paper is a pink one and I used the same border punch on this to.
On top of these papers I used a pale green card strip and used the same border punch from Martha Steward and laid it down the card about a 3rd of the way in, and for the last strip down the outer edge I used a dark green strip of card and a larger border leaf border punch also from Martha Steward.
I laid my mounted image towards the top of my card and the sentiment below it towards the right. To finish of I have used Nuvo drops down the right side in several colours. I hope you like what you see and will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the Challenge Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Away with the Fairies" Challenge.

Good Morning Crafters, we were asked by our DT Leader Christine if we would take part in The Crafty Friends Challenge by creating a card "For a Child" as I am on the Pink Gem Designs Design Team and of course this Challenge is being sponsored by Janet and we thought it was a very good idea and was happy to oblige.


And here is the Card I created for the Challenge


This young Man is "Andy with Football" Kit from Pink Gem Designs and you will find him here. I printed him onto white photo paper and the decoupage sheet I cut out and molded it and stuck it on top of the image with silicone glue. I then added the Birthday sentiment in the top left hand corner.

Challenge #283 - "Animal Magic" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well we are now into the third month of the year and so far other than watching the Daffodils flower and crocus's its not showing to much of Spring yet, hopefully it wont be long before the trees start to leaf up and it makes us feel brighter, Spring is one of the best times of the year and I cannot help loving it.
Anyway todays Challenge is "Animal Magic" and Im sure that shouldnt be a problem for you we all have images of animals among our stash of goodies so hopefully it wont be for you either and you can take part in our Challenge this Week, but before I show you my own card I want to tell you who our sponsors are and they are The Paper Shelter


And they are offering a fabulous prize of $30 to spend on their website if you use one of our products and even if you dont use one of them either a image, paper or printable and you are picked as our winner you will still receive 3 digi images of your own choice so its a win win situation and you really cannot loose by giving it a go. But please remember you can enter 3 times but you must use one of our products on one of your entries.
And now for my Card I do hope you like it, I have two great grandsons who absolutely love dinosaurs so I thought this would be a fabulous card for one of them.


This image is called "Best Day of my Life" and you will find this image here, I printed it onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I used a oval die to cut it out and a fancy one for the mount out of green card. The sentiment was treated in the same way and was also mounted on a fancy mount out of green card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of green card the papers I have used are from Pink Gem Designs and are called "Fabusaurus" and I thought theyd be ideal for this card and I have used three of the papers and cut them diagonally and used a dinosaur border punch from MK to cut the edges then layered it up as shown in the photo.
I then placed my image in the center with the sentiment below in the right hand corner, and to finish of I have used 5 dinosaur buttons down the right side and in the bottom left hand corner.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of my very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and I do hope you will give it a try and take part in the Challenge.
But before I finally finish my blog post I want to send my love and prayers to one of my fellow DT members Patty as she is incapacitated at the moment due to a broken shoulder and had a operation on it on Monday and I sincerely hope she is now on the mend and will be back with us soon as I miss her and so do the girls.
