Anything goes at Pennys Papercrafty Challenge

Hello again

I'm back with my second post of the day - this time its for 

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges

and our theme this week is 

Anything Goes

I used this cute image from Sassy Studios -one of our sponsors this week 

called Sassy Elizabeth Laura Bennett she is available here

I thought she needed a fairly simple pretty and demure design  to compliment her fairly simple, pretty, demure looks!

I got this paper free with a magazine ages ago - they are Websters Papers and on the front it says a combo of Western Romance and All About Me - they are very pretty pale coloured papers and I thought they were perfect for Miss Elizabeth Laura

Our sponsors this week are offering some fab prizes - pop over to the blog for more information and to see the fab and fun creations that my teamies have come up with this week

This is what I did....

Are you ready for The Birds and The Bees!

Good morning all

This is my second post for today with the challenge over at Moving along with the times this week.

I'm having a busy old hostess week this week as its also my turn to host this challenge

The theme is 

The Birds and the Bees!

That is any nature (birds, insects, animals or plants)

or 

A New Baby card

Here is my card for the challenge

The image is just so pretty 

Its one of the new release digis at Whimsy Stamps

by Stampart Design by Kathryne

its called Tulip Umbrella - available here

I love all kinds of colour combo - but I have to say my very favourite is pink and green and my favourite dies of the moment are those "Fabulous Phlox" from Memory Box.  I wanted these flowers to match the card exactly so I cut them all out of white card and coloured them with copics to match the colour of the flowers in the image.  This is my Mothers day card for my Mam - she likes to have flowers on cards - for some reason she has the idea that all of these images with children on - are for children!!

Anyway - this is what I did....
