Love is In the Air at Paper Crafting Journey!

Hello my fellow bloggers...Time for a new challenge at Paper Crafting Journey and this fortnight we would like to see your love creations  yes "Love is in the Air". Our sponsor is

and the DT were lucky enough to get to play with some of their images.

Now it might look like I've just added a bit of glitter to this pre-coloured creation but I have actually cut out extra parts of the image so that I could give it a bit of depth. So the scalloped border at the top and bottom were glued on and kindyglitz added. I added extra leaves and the flower and the couple as well, then added kindyglitz everywhere. I also added crystal effects to the top word LOVE so that it would stand out!

and that is it... 

I hope that you can join us this fortnight at Paper Crafting Journey.

Buttons and Bows at Crafty Sentiments!

Time for a new challenge at Crafty Sentiments Designs and our challenge for you this week is Buttons or Bows. As always there is a fabulous prize up for grabs from Crafty Sentiments Designs so why not join in the fun!
I decided to use both Buttons and Bows on my card!

I have used Party Time  for my card and I coloured him in with tria markers. Again I have used scraps to make my background (in fact this was the first card I made with my scraps and the idea has just snowballed) I then added the twine and buttons to finish off my card! I hope that you can join us this week at Crafty Sentiments Designs.

I would like to join in the following challenges:

I decided to spin the sketch around so it worked with my image! I coloured the image in with tria markers. The girls hair didn't turn out as I had intended but am happy with the rest of the image! I used paper from Crafty Sentiments Design, then just added a few embellishments! I hope that you can join us this fortnight at Seems a Little Sketchy!

I Love You This Much!

Well there are some major fires burning here in Victoria and one just up the road from me so it is a little bit scary but were we are we are in no immediate danger but it does make you think about the people that it is affecting!!
It's my turn to post on The Digi Bell's blog so I have made this bright and cheerful, birthday card using I Love you This Much from Elisabeth Bell's digi collection.

I have coloured I love you This Much in with tria markers. I then used some more scraps of papers to make the background and the flowers. I stuck the image on white scrap cs and inked around the edge with pickled raspberry distress ink which I also punched out two flowers then added rhinestones. I added the ribbon and the buttons and decided to add the sentiment as an after thought!

If you would like this or any other adorable Elisabeth Bell digi image then you can find them in her digi collection HERE!

Love is in the Air at Polka Doodles!!

Well I am sitting in the comfort of my air conditioned lounge room as I write this as it is a scorcher outside but due to be in the 40's tomorrow so I guess today is not too bad.
It's time for a new challenge at Polka Doodles and with it comes a few changes.. The main one being that our challenges are moving to fortnightly. For all the details make sure you stop by the Polka Doodles blog, you will also be dazzled by all the DT's fabulous creations!
So this week's challenge at Polka Doodles is Love is in the Air! The DT were challenged to use the new Dollie Daydream goes East cd  which you can get from the Polka Doodles store. I was originally going to decorate a jar full of fortune cookies but decided to play around with the elements from the cd so made this fan instead which I just love.

My boys loved this when I showed them and so did a friend of mine!! I coloured the image in with tria markers to match the papers I used for the fan. I didn't like the hair when I first coloured it but once it had settled overnight it looks ok I think! The template, papers, image and alphabet I used to make the word love are all on the Dollie Daydream goes East cd. I first printed out the paper, then printed the fan template on that, then created the word love and printed it again.
I hope that you can join us this fortnight at Polka Doodles. And be sure to check out the Polka Doodles store.. Oh and there is now also a Polka Doodles Etsy store where you can buy the individual girls.... So no excuse not to go and grab these fabulous images :)

Merry Weather at The Digi Bell's!

Super quick post to share with you as it's just after 1am here and I really need to go to bed! It's my turn to post on The Digi Bell's blog and I've used Merry Weather from Elisabeth Bell's digi collection

I coloured Merry Weather in with tria markers and inked around the edge with ink! Didn't really have a plan when colouring this image but then decided to make a starburst card and use up some of my scraps. I just love how these cards look!! I added ribbon, flowers, buttons and rhinestones and the sentiment! I then finished it off with kindyglitz and crystal effects on the water on the image...

Don't forget there is a challenge going on at the moment over at the Elisabeth Bell's World challenge blog. We love to see your creations using any EB image from any company she designs for .
