Art by Miran Challenge 51

Hi there,

How are you all today. I hope you are surviving the weather, we are about to have a heat wave here so it is hot, hot, hot. I am nursing a dislocated thumb at the moment so it is making it quite difficult to colour. Lucky I finished my Art by Miran DT card before I hurt it, phew.

For this card I have used last months fabulous Progressive challenge image. I thought she was so cute and perfect for Valentines Day which is creeping up shortly. Her name is Angelica and if you didn't get her before you can find her here. Have you joined in this months Progressive Challenge yet? It's not too late, head to the Facebook page to find out more.

Here is my DT card for Challenge 51;

I have gone for a simple design this time with one of my favourite colour schemes. She was so fun to colour, I hope you managed to get her, if not, head to the shop to snap her up and have a play.
I hope to see you soon over on the Challenge Blog.

Happy crafting
Cheers Nicole

Art By Miran Challenge 50

Hi Beautiful People,

I have another pretty image to share with you today for Challenge 50 on the Art by Miran Challenge blog. I chose this gorgeous girl Gina because she just looked so fun and free and enjoying life. I love her. I also got to use some new papers that I got in the post Christmas sales, one of 11 pads I bought, he he. Such fun I have been having.

Here she is;

I have used MME papers and a fab sentiment from fellow teamy Tracy Wray, she has the best sentiments on her blog. Have you checked out her digital papers yet? Head over to the Art by Miran Facebook group to check them out. I have used a few of my go to colour blends for this card but stay tuned I have been shopping so there will be some experimenting soon, can't wait for them to arrive.

Thanks for dropping by today, happy crafting.

Cheers Nicole 

Art By Miran Challenge 49

Hi there,

How are you all? I hope you had a lovely Christmas/New Year break. I had planned to do plenty of crafting however the family had other ideas, good family time though. I did manage to fit in one card over the break but I can't believe how long it took to make, I guess I procrastinate when I have lots of time.

Here it is;

I rather like this lovely lady, her name is Lily and you can find her here. For the past year I decided to try and use all my papers without buying any more. That is what I did with this card. Well I seemed to have gotten over that for 2016, I bought 14 new paper pads on sale, whoops. Now I have no idea where to start, I have so much to choose from. Oh well, it will make me get in there and craft.

I hope you will all manage to fit in some crafty time soon and join us for Art By Miran Challenge 49.
Happy crafting

Cheers Nicole

Art by Miran Challenge 45

Hi everyone,

What weather we have had here lately. So hot and it is only November. I hope we are not in for a super hot Summer as that does not result in productive crafting. I do love Summer though.

So today's card is using another pretty image from Art by Miran called Nivanna. She looks so pretty and relaxed in the field of flowers so I thought that Tracy Wray's sentiment would go perfectly.

Here she is;

Blue and yellow is one of my favourite colour schemes, it makes me feel so warm and summery and I think it takes me back to being a teenager when I had blue and gold stars all through my room. I rather like how this one turned out and I guess my MIL did too as it has already been snapped up.

I hope you are having a lovely day and thank you so much for dropping by.

Cheers Nicole

Hi there,

I have a fun card for you today, a nice Spring one to celebrate the glorious Spring weather we are having at the moment. I have used the beautiful Florina for this simple but vibrant card. We would love for you to join us this week and don't forget to drop by the Art by Miran Facebook page so that we can see what you are creating with Miran's fabulous images.

Here is my card;

I hope you like her, I had a lot of fun colouring and making this card. I think she turned out lovely.

Happy crafting everyone and I hope to come visit you soon.

Art by Miran Challenge 43

Hi Everyone,

What a super busy week I have had. The kids were back to School this week and they finished the week with their Sports Carnival. It was a great day however we are all exhausted now. I think I will now just chill with some relaxing colouring.

I have a sweet and simple card for you today for this weeks Challenge at Art by Miran. I felt I was neglecting my embossing folders so I thought I would bring them out for a try. I am quite happy with the result.

Here it is;

 

This gorgeous girl is called Sweet and Sassy and I think she just looks so fun. I had a lot of fun colouring her. The embossing folder was a magazine freebie and I am very happy with the way it turned out, it gave a great finish and I love that it is a square folder. I must use them more.

Thanks for dropping by today and I hope you have a lovely week.

Cheers Nicole

Hi there,

I hope you are well and enjoying some lovely weather. Today's card is a lovely floral card using the very pretty Valentina. I love her long, long hair and her elegant dress.

Here she is;

I quite like how this one turned out, this is very much my style, not too simple but not over the top. I hope you like it too.

Well it is School Holidays here and the kids are 'bored' so I had better show them some love.

Happy crafting everyone.
Cheers Nicole
