You can Stick It!

Hi all,

This week, it's my turn to pick a theme and host a challenge @ Fab 'n Funky and I've chosen "You can Stick It!". Okay, don't feel offended now, I am just referring to the type of product I would like you to use, which are Peel offs or Stickers, anything that sticks on it's own really. I don't know if you have the same 'problem', but I have absolute tons and tons of peel off stickers, borders, number and letters and haven't really been using them for a while. So I thought this would be the perfect time to use it up! Well, up, that would take numerous cards and other projects and they would have to be covered from head to toe in peel offs, but you have to make a start somewhere, right?

Here's my card:

Thankful for You

Good morning everyone,

I am really quite late with my PCD DT card today, as our new challenge started this morning already. I had major problems making this card, I had a great idea in my mind but that never came to fruition unfortunately. The whole card really came into being because of an accident. I was going to print off the lovely Ulysses Butterfly as a whole, but my computer managed to print it too huge to fit on the page twice in a row. At first I wanted to throw the print away and start a third time, but then I thought it might also work with part of the butterfly. And actually, after cutting away all the panels in the butterfly and backing it with glitter paper, I was really quite happy with that element. Problem was, how to proceed and make a complete card out of it. To my mind, it never really came together. You be the judge:

Oh, almost forgot, our theme this week is "Be Thankful", me being thankful that I managed to squeeze out this card after all, even if it is a little late ;)

Materials:
* Create & Crafts CS
* PCD Ulysses Butterfly

Good morning everyone!

Another week has flown by, I don't know where all the days went so quickly! I'm guessing between moving house and a full-time job, I really don't have that much spare time at the moment. For a good cause though, our new house is coming along beautifully, yesterday evening we spent a few hours trailing through wallpaper books and finally found the lovely coffee & cream colour we wanted for our bedrooms :)

I've got another card to share with you all, this time for the Card Makin' Mamas Challenge, which is 'GIVING THANKS'. I am expecting a lot of Thanksgiving entries, but because we don't celebrate it in the Netherlands, I chose to make a more general Thank You card:

The DP behind the turtle is so gorgeously sparkly IRL, wonderful! Of course the photos don't do it justice :) Come and join us if you can! We are being sponsored by SOME ODD GIRL this time, they will be giving away digis to the challenge winner! You can have a look on their website here.
