THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #585: PINK/PEARLS


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is:
PINK AND/OR PEARLS


I had a wonderful 3 week visit from my sister, and while she was here, we decided to re-colour one of the first Paper Shelter images we ever used.  I chose Si Belle!  You can see my original version here, coloured way back in 2015.  We had great fun comparing our two versions, and seeing how far we've both come.

I've coloured this gorgeous image with Copics, and chosen papers from the Stamperia Romance Collection.  I've distressed all the edges.  I've added a strip of lace and made a bow with it.  I've then added a Bella! Bling pearl swirl, and The Paper Boutique individual pearls.





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 #726: ADD SOME SPARKLE


Good Morning crafty friends.



Our theme this week has been chosen by our lovely Elaine.  She would like you to 
ADD SOME SPARKLE

Our generous sponsor this week has £10 up for grabs to spend in the store




I've used one of the gorgeous new releases called Bunny's Bike, which comes with the sentiment.  I've coloured the image with Copics and used a Craft Emotions die to frame it.

I decided to add sparkle to my project, in my paper.  All my papers come from the First Edition Spring Drop paper pack, and if you look at the close-up pics, you'll see that the background paper is covered with glitter.

The cute carrots and adorable little bee are from the same paper pack.

I've added a Jenni B ribbon, and one American Crafts pearl, and one American Crafts enamel dot.




Be sure to pop over to the challenge blog to see other sparkly creations.

Thanks for visiting!

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #581: SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH F


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is:
SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH F



I've gone with FLOWERS and chosen an image from the Flowers pdf Colouring Book.

I love making cards without any sentiments, so that I can choose later what occasion I want to use it for.  I have Mother's Day in my head for this one.

I have coloured the image with Copics and inked the edges.  

My paper is from the Stamperia Ceremony paper pack.  I've added a Celebr8 laser cut and a few Pink Fresh Studio enamel dots.  




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.

PASSION FOR MARKERS CHALLENGE #724: FRIENDS/FRIENDSHIP

 

Good Morning crafty friends.


Our lovely Wendy has chosen our theme this week.  She'd like you to focus on FRIENDS OR FRIENDSHIP for this one.

Our generous sponsor will be giving our lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice.



I've gone with 'man's best friend' for this one, and used Happiness on my card.  I have coloured the image with Copics.

My papers are from two different PhotoPlay paper packs:  The pink from Tulla & Norbert's Love Story, and the green and the cute smiling sun are from Fern & Willard.  The sentiment tag is a Poppy Crafts die cut and the heart circle is Memory Box.  I've added a strip of Birch Creative lace and Echo Park enamel dots.

My flowers are I Am Roses and 49 and Market.



Be sure to pop over to the challenge blog if you need a bit more inspiration this week.  There are wonderful projects to kick your mojo into gear.

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #579: ALL THINGS NEW


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is:
ALL THINGS NEW


I know a little one starting school this year, so I've chosen Ready for School for my card.  I've coloured the image with Copics and used a My Favorite Things stencil for the wall behind her.  I've then used a Creative Dies tag die to cut her out, and added a Simplicity ric rac ribbon to tie it off.

My papers are from the Doodlebug Design Inc. Cute & Crafty paper pack.  I cringed with each paper I took from the pad, because it's one of those that you love so much, you never want to use it up.  I've used another Creative Dies die to cut out the pink sheet, and one for the sentiment.

I've added a ribbon from my stash and WoodStock stickers for the theme.  The book is Jolee's








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.
