One For The Boys

We're sponsored this week by Paper Shelter.  I actually bought a PS image specifically for this challenge and had planned what I was going to do in my head. However, I completely forgot to take the stuff with me to Cass' so I have ended up with a card I made for my friend to give her son instead!

I've used the Crafty Sentiments Henry Why Not image and I've teamed him with the Funky Kits Words From The Heart image. I've tried to make the cat look Jinx Logan's cat

Our sponsor this week is All Dressed Up Stamps

I've used a Medium Decorative Swirly Strip from Hobbycutz and I wanted to make it look like flowers on it so I used some wee dotty buttons as the flowers. This is one of these cards which isn't what I started out to do but I like the way it's ended up!

This week our theme is

A Shaped Card

so none of your square cards this week!

We're sponsored this week by Sassy Studio.

Now this isn't what I had in mind when I started off making this card. I went to look for something else and discovered this Sizzix snowflake die that I bought in the recent sale and decided I'd go for a snowflake shaped card.... yeah, I know. Make life easy eh?! 

Once I had cut the snowflake I cut a circle to stick it to but I embossed it first. I then printed the sentiment and in a HUGE departure for me I actually changed the look of one of Kobie's fabby embellishments. I love the look of them, I like the wood so I tend not to touch them when I'm using them but sticking a wooden butterfly on my WOW card would have looked a bit silly. I painted it white and when it was dry I added some Cosmic Shimmer Glacier Ice.

Sketch




Our sponsor this week are Whimsy Stamps.

I found this little die cut image and the paper when I was looking for something else and I thought it would be perfect for this challenge. I decided to make a wee trail of ladybirds instead of using ribbon for the bottom bit of the sketch!

Something New 
(new baby, new year, new home etc)

Our sponsor this week is Crafty Sentiments.

I've gone for New Stash... well, new toy (my GC) and these Grand Nestie Ovals. 

I've used a LotV stamp as the focal point but I used a Majestix stamp set to stamp round the edge of the Nestie. A couple of Hobbycutz butterflies finish off the card. I think looking at it now I should perhaps have painted the butterflies but I love Kobie's stuff too much to mess around with it :/

All Tied Up

Our sponsor this week is Kenny K who kindly gave the DT some images to play with.

I've used Bow for my card and I've cropped her! I love that you can change digi images like this, it's so much fun. As I come to write my blog post I realise that there's something missing from my card... the theme is all tied up  so perhaps I should have put some ribbon on the card BUT.. she's wearing a ribbon and I've tried to make the Hobbycutz flowers look like a bow. Don't say anything though I don't think anyone will notice ;)

This is our last challenge until 12th January so you've got some time to enter!

Make a Scene

Our sponsor this week is The Stamping Chef.

I've used Lost Fairy for my card and I printed her quite small. I used the Tatty Buttons toadstool stamp which I masked so that I had a wee gathering of 'shrooms. I had originally intended this to be a new home card but changed my mind at the last minute!

Inspired by a Song

We're sponsored this week by The Stamping Chef who provided the DT with some images to use.

I've used Cabaret for my card. And the song I was inspired by.....

No, not Cabaret but this one 



OK you're wondering why aren't you? Well I was watching the Def Leppard movie Viva Hysteria at the time when I decided what I'd do for my card and Photograph was the song that was on at that particular time, it could equally have been any other track from the album!
