CIty Crafter Challenge Blog Week 301 ~ The Elephant in the Room

I see lots of adorable elephant stamp and die out there, so tempting to go get some when Marina come up with the theme The Elephant in the Room for City Crafter Challenge Blog this week, but uhhh..... I control myself and go look for something online.

don't you think the free elephant image is as cute?

it makes a cute gift bag for Valentine's day too (I did this way before Valentine's day this year)

the company

and the pretty things I wish that could fit into my luggage, but uh... no! I usually travel very light, just one small bag and a backpack, especially in Europe, where I have to hop from train to train

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 121 ~ Let's Do It Again

Happy Tuesday, and Happy City Crafter Challenge Blog day

Our lovely host is Linda, and she said "Let's do it again!"

Remember we had on week 101 "copy cater", Linda wants us to use an image from The Graphics Fairy, and she is now back again with another image from The Graphics Fairy, this time a beautiful butterfly image seen below

Beautiful right, who doesn't like butterfly, so I am guessing you are going to have lots of fun with this one just like I do....

I decided to pick a paper with minimum design, and do lots of stenciling and misting instead

never throw away anything, even the brand name at the bottom of your patterned paper

because that makes a really good trim for your photo, don't you think?

and I think the pretty butterfly image from The Graphics Fairy really stands out on this page

So come on and play along with us

City Crafter Challenge Blog week 112 ~ Coppelia

When I lived in Manhattan, my apartment was on west 57th street, just a few blocks away from Lincoln Center, where there stood The Metropolitan Opera House, Avery Fisher Hall and The New York City Ballet I spent lots of time there. One of my favorite ballet is Coppélia, story of Die Puppe (The Doll) and was premiered May 1870. 

I is my turn to host at City Crafter Challenge Blog this week, I thought the Ballerina would be a pretty theme to have this week's challenge

my project is an accordion mini album 

called "You & Me"

I hope you could join us this week as we have a wonderful sponsor Digital Paper Shop. As you can see, all the lovely ballerina images are from there
