Till Next Year...

I'm sure I should have been doing something else today, but instead I was making cards!  I bought a couple of new Paper Shelter images at the weekend after seeing them on their challenge blog, and as they were pre-coloured I thought I'd make a quick card! (Are they ever quick?)

So the stamp is called December 26th - available here both coloured and black & white.

Santa's set upon LOTV papers, with a couple of die cut corners a a ribbon to finish.

Challenges;
Papertake - Free sketchie, but I used the one shown
The Paper Shelter - Christmas
ABC Christmas - V - A Very Merry Christmas (Thanks for the sentiment Samantha)

Heather's Leaving

One of my husband's work colleagues is leaving this month and so my husband asked for a card, last minute, as they do!  Anyway, thank goodness for pre-coloured images and sketch challenges - makes it as easy as 1-2-3!

So here's my card, using a Paper Shelter image and Craft Creations papers, quite pleased with it actually!

April Showers

Morning everyone and welcome to a new challenge over at An Oldie But A Goodie.  This time it's Claire's turn to set our theme, and she's gone with

April Showers

(& there have been a few of these over the last few days!)

The prize this time has been put together by Francesca our DT co-ordinator, so hop over to the main blog for more details there.

As well as following our theme, please remember to include an item older than 6 months on your card.

For my card, I used an image from The Paper Shelter called Gothic & Modern .  I know I may be stretching the April Showers theme a bit here, but she's a new stamp & I just so wanted to use her so as she had a brolly I thought she'd be ok!  My oldies here are the buttons and ribbons, and come to think of it, that wreath die must not be older than 6 months.  Papers are MME and colouring by Promarker.

So that's my take on April showers, now it's your turn! For more inspiration head back to the main blog to see the rest of the DT's creations.

Biker Birdie

The other week, I was lucky enough to win a prize at The Paper Shelter - another new digi stamp company to me, so I hopped on over to their site to have a lookie, and boy was I pleased that I did.  they have some really lovely images, but not only that, they have black & white images for you to colour and also pre-coloured ones for when you are in a bit of a rush, or like me you need a bit of guidance on where the light and dark bits should go when you colour!  As well as this they give you a digi paper sheet to co-ordinate with your image - very good value I'd say.

So most of the images I picked for my prize were girly ones, but this cockatoo caught my eye and so I made him up for some of the boy challenges this week.

This image was pre-coloured, I'll have a go at colouring another one over the weekend myself, but for now I thought this fella would do.
