THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #569: CLEAN & SIMPLE


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is:
CLEAN & SIMPLE

This is a tough theme for me.  I am not a 'clean & simple' kind of gal!  I love adding lace and flowers, pearls and stickers.


Taking centre stage on my card is a super fun image, called Snowmen Singing Carols.  I've used a set of Creative Dies to frame the image and cut the paper behind it.

My papers for this one are from the DCWV Jolly Whimsy paper pack, and I decided that since the paper itself is full of words, I'd leave it at that, and not add a sentiment.




Up for grabs at The Paper Shelter this week is our usual fantastic prize!  Our winner will win a $30 store voucher if you've used a Paper Shelter product on your entry (you could choose the pre-coloured image, the black and white digi, or the digital paper that comes in the set), or 3 digis of your choice, if you've used another brand.  You can enter the challenge up to 3 times, provided you've used a Paper Shelter product on at least one of them.

Thanks for popping in!

PASSION FOR MARKERS CHALLENGE #709: FOR A MAN/BOY

 

Good Morning everyone!


I think we all battle to come up with ideas for male cards, and so this week, we're sharing our ideas, and hope you'll join us.  Our lovely Natalie has chosen your theme:
FOR A MAN/BOY

Up for grabs this week we have 3 digi images to give away, from our generous sponsor



There's a man in my life who absolutely LOVES coffee, so I chose Latte Coffee Cup for my card.  I've coloured the image with Copics, and used a set of Poppy Crafts dies to frame the image and the sentiment.

My papers are from the Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk paper pack.  I've added a few strands of jute string, and chipboard stickers by Carta Bella - because the recipient is also big on road trips and LOVES VW vans.

I've finished off with a few coffee beans (which smell heavenly)





Be sure to pop over to get a few more ideas from the team.  Thanks for coming to view mine!

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #567: AUTUMN COLOURS


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is:
AUTUMN COLOURS


This fun image is called Let's Get Loud!.  I've coloured the image with Copics and used a My Favorite Things stencil and Distress Inks to create the background for her.

I've added a strips of web lace behind the image and lots of 49 and Market flowers.  My sentiment has been framed using a Craft Emotions set of dies.

YOUR SCRAPBOOK PLACE SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE: ANYTHING GOES

 


I have the honour of Guest Designing for Your Scrapbook Place this month, and as such, had the opportunity to work with one of the images from our generous sponsor Sheepski Designs.


The image is called Mini Vases.

I have coloured the image with Copics, then distressed the edges, along with my paper edges, and inked them with Distress Ink.

My paper is from the Ciao Bella Broccato Estense paper pack.  Other than my sentiment, the only thing I've added is a bow, with ribbon from my stash.  



Be sure to pop over to Your Scrapbook Place to see what the usual team have created this month.

Sending a big THANK YOU to Claudia and the team, for letting me play along with them this month.

Thanks for popping in!
