Penny's Challenge 169 DT

There is so much you can do with this theme.  Head on over to the challenge blog and check out what the rest of the DT have created, you will love it.

I got to use a super cute Meljen image, here she is;

I loved colouring up this cutey, I love the expression on her face.  I have coloured her with Promarkers and I have used my trusty Echo Park (For the Record 2) papers.

I made this card for my daughter as it was her 9th birthday last Friday.  She is a big Smurfette fan so when I saw this digi I thought of her straight away.

Reach for the Stars

Hi,

I finally managed a non-DT card. The kids had a birthday party to go to yesterday for one of their little volleyball friends.  They had a great time and my son has not stopped playing pirates as he won a sword in a party game. He is so cute. My card today was made for their little friend Noah.

Here it is;

The image I used is a cute one from Tiddly Inks and I have used. A lot of green to fit in with their challenge this month. The papers I think were just from the local discount store. They seemed to fit so well with the image. I have coloured him with Promarkers and sparkled it up with some Crystal Stickles.

I wish to enter this card in the following challenges;

Tiddly Inks - Use Green

Thanks for dropping by, enjoy your day.

Totally Papercrafts 210 DT

Hi folks,

This week's challenge at Totally Papercrafts is Shaped Cards. Our wonderful sponsor this week is Crafty Sentiment Designs. I chose a lovely image to use, it is called Little Friends. It reminded me of sitting outside on a beautiful day with the breeze in my hair, just enjoying the world. I am such a square card kind of girl, but this challenge gave me an excuse to use some of my bigger dies so I really enjoyed it.

Here it is;

I have used Mpress nesting dies to create the beautiful shapes and cut around it to make the card base. The papers are Echo Park Sweet Day Collection and the image is coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and the swirl dies are by Crealies. I added flowers, ladybugs and butterflies, topped off with Stickles and some Gems.

Thanks for dropping by today, I must be off, it's my daughter's birthday and I am on ice cream duty. Don't forget to drop by the challenge blog and check out the team's cards.

Cheers Nicole

Penny's Challenge 167 DT

Hi everyone,

How are you today?  I hope you have had an interesting day.  Today I have my card for this week's challenge at Penny's which is Anything but Square.  This was tough for me as I do love my square cards.  I had a fun image to work with this week so that influenced the shape of my card.

Here it is;

The image is by Penny Blossom which I have coloured with my Promarkers.  I used various nesting dies to try to create the look of ice-cream.  The design paper is by Heidi Grace which I picked up on my trip to the U.S. last year and must have forgotten about until now. I am pretty pleased with them so I am sure you will see more of them soon.

 

Anyway enough rambling, it's time to let you know what you can win.

 

prize - 5 Digi images of winners choice

 

Prize - $15 gift voucher

 

Thanks so much for dropping by today. I would love to come and see what you come up with, so head on over to the blog and give it a go.

 

Cheers Nic
