It's Party Time at Pollycraft and some digi freebies!

Paula over on Pollycraft is closing up her store (8th June) and is having a linky party ... where you showcase some of your favourite creations using her amazing digis.  She is also having an AMAZING sale and giving away some digi freebies.

If you stop by here occasionally you will know that I am a HUGE fan of Paula's talent and was lucky enough to be a Guest Designer for a month on Pollycraft's Challenge site.

 

 I just bought her mega bundle deal - £9.50 for 100+ digis...... seriously!  is that a bargain or what?

 I want to take this opportunity to wish Paula every good wish for this new chapter in her life and thank her for sharing her talent with us all.  

I could add soooo many cards to this post - I have made so many creations using Paula's digis.  

Hugs to you Paula and your DT on Pollycraft Monday Challenge - what an amazing four years it has been.

Good Luck and Best Wishes.

For Cath (sans CHA) With Love Blog Hop

Cath Edvalson of Moxie Fab World was unable to go to CHA this year as she has a shoulder injury.  She told her story on Moxie last week - you can read her post here.

Whilst creating the wedding card for yesterday's post I noticed that the Challenge this week on Pollycraft Monday Challenge was "girls, girls, girls".  I knew I had to print out "fluffy" and do a girly monster card.

I just adore Fluffy - I tried to leave him looking "fluffy" when colouring him with copics.  Don't have a recipient for this card yet - just makes me smile, so I will add it to my stash!.

Pollycraft Monday Challenge - "Chipboard"

Supplies:  Cuthbert and Kiki - Kiki Bloom Digi image by Pollycraft Designs, 

Chipboard leaves coloured with copics, Papermania textured cardstock, 

Spellbinders Bloom die, SRM Sticker, copics, glossy accents and machine stitching.

Can you believe that it's my last week as Guest Designer with the Pollycraft Monday Challenge crew.  Paula - you are so amazingly talented - I loved playing with your wonderful digital creations - thank you for having me.  I had a BLAST!.

This week the challenge is "chipboard".  When I initially saw this theme I was wondering if I would produce anything!!  however, I dived into my stash and pulled out a packed of naked chipboard shapes by Papermania and got to work.

The card above features chipboard leaves which I coloured with a copic and then adhered with glossy accents.

Supplies:  Critters and Cogs - Lovebot digi image - Pollycraft, 

Papermania chipboard frame, clear stamp sentiment - Pollycraft, 

Staz on black, black sharpie, Papermania textured cardstock, docrafts kraft card blank, 

Spellbinders Labels 14, copics, glossy accents, red stickles and machine stitching.

My second card is using a chipboard frame which I coloured with black staz on and then ran a black sharpie around the edges to get rid of any white showing through.  The sentiment is by Pollycraft and is available in a clear stamp set here and the digi image is from the "Critters and Cogs" range - she is called lovebot!.  Don't you just adore her?

I coloured her with copics, added glossy accents to her pink nuts! and layered a second heart balloon with stickles on top for added dimension.

Thanks so much for peeking and I really hope you get a chance to play along this week.  Full details of the challenge are here.

Happy Sunday - another freebie from an amazing site!

I just love it when I come across a site that has amazing digital images and does a freebie day too!!! Well I stumbled upon one yesterday - a very talented lady - Paula of Pollycraft Designs and her blog is Tales from Pollycraft - the freebie for this week is here it is called Cherry Kisses Frame ~ Adore.  Paula does freebies every FRIDAY - be sure to check it out. 

I just had to make a card with it right away.  I used an embossed square card blank from DCWV and added the frame to an orange mat and handdrew the line to match the frame.  Coloured with copics, added a gem and hey presto! another Valentine's Card.

Then I found another freebie image called lovebirds on the site- so I made this card which could also be an Engagement Card - I left it free of a sentiment for the moment.

Supplies - Freebie images from Pollycraft, Copics, Labels One, Trinket Pins by Maya Road,

Brown Ribbon from Morex Corp, pp from Jane, (thanks Jane), Papermania Gem used in the card above and foam dots.
