THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #557: FOR THAT SPECIAL MAN


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is
FOR THAT SPECIAL MAN


I've gone with one of the adorable newer images, called My Happy Summer Face.

I've coloured the image with Copics and used papers and stickers from the Echo Park Pets Collection.  I've added a ribbon from my stash and a Scrapaholics laser cut, which I coloured with a black Copic marker. Nice and simple!






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!

Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is
LET'S GET DOWN TO WORK

What we're looking for is... ANY OCCUPATION.
 

Golfing may be fun (for some), but it can also be an occupation, so I decided to go with Hole in Cap! for this one.

I have coloured the image with Copics.

My papers are from the Echo Park It's a Boy paper pack.  I've used a Paper Rose die to cut the tag shape, and added Jolee's stickers for all the rest.  There's an elderly golfer in our circle who may get a little giggle, getting this one for his birthday

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #551: THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is
THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH

What we're looking for is... ANYTHING RELATED TO NATURE, plants, flowers, trees, etc.

 


The Paper Shelter has stunning floral images, so I decided to use two of them this week, to make two bookmarks.  Many years ago, I gave away handmade bookmarks as gifts, and my sister-in-law recently asked if I could make a few more, since her last one has. now done its time, and is looking a little tattered.

I've used the recoloured, composition options of In Bloom, and Wild Rose.

I've cropped the images down to fit my size, with as much image showing as possible.  I've then framed them, duplicated and flipped the images - so that I have a reversed image on the back, and added a strip of lace between the two sides, before sticking them to each other.  The tassel lace is Birch Creative, and the other is Simplicity.  I then inked all the edges.

I intended to laminate the bookmarks, but I couldn't figure out how to do it with the lace strip in tact, and I was running out of time, so I've left them raw.  

 



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.
