A Special Day

This is a wedding card for my niece and her new husband.  I've used an Alicia Bel image called A Special Day, and coloured the image with markers.

My papers are from the Maja Design Celebration pack.  The tags were cut from Creative Dies wonky stitches dies, and the shape behind the couple from a Spellbinders die.  The doily was hand crocheted by my mother, so the bride's grandmother.  The flowers are Green Tara.  The sentiment is from a freebie set that came with a craft magazine.  The two little pearl hearts are Craft Consortium.  I've also added a few random hearts and a strip of lace, as well as too teeny Dress It Up Button lambs.

The lambs are a reference to how the couple met: The groom's family are sheep farmers and it was lambing season, so they invited the public in to see the new babes.  The groom was working there that day, and the bride and her mum visited.

Thanks so much for popping in to have a look!

OLIVER STUDYING

My nephew is doing a degree in Maths, and I am in awe of the kind of brain that could, and would want to do that!

The image on this card for him is from Lili of the Valley.  It's called Oliver Studying, and I have coloured the image with markers.  I used a Tim Holtz brick stencil and Distress Ink to create the wall behind him.

My papers are from the KaiserCraft Documented pack.  The little wooden goodies are also KaiserCraft.  The sentiment is Dovecraft, and the little mini books are Houseworks Ltd miniatures.

To add a dash of maths to the card, I created and measured a few angles between papers.  I'm embarrassed to admit that I needed to be reminded how to use a Protractor accurately!!  Pathetic!

THE PAPER SHELTER CHRISTMAS BREAK CHALLENGE: ANYTHING GOES

Hi There Paper Shelter lovers!

This is our last challenge of the year, and the theme is 

ANYTHING GOES!

I've chosen a super Christmas image for my card.  It's called Flight Plan.

I have coloured my image with markers and cut it out using a wonky stitches die from Creative Dies. 

The tag was also cut using a wonky stitches die from Creative Dies, and the sentiment came as a magazine freebie.  My papers are from the Echo Park Celebrate Winter pack.  The clock is Prima resin, and the lamppost is Prima metal.  My flowers are an assortment, including Petal and Little Birdie.  The two reindeer waiting for Santa to finish up route planning and get to the job, are Dress It Up buttons.  I've added a few random pearls.

Up for grabs for this 3 week challenge, is a $30 gift certificate if you've used a Paper Shelter product on your creation (it could be a pre-coloured image, a black & white digi or even paper), or 3 digi 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 so much for popping in for a look!
