BY THE CUTE AND GIRLY!

Don't forget to you still have time to enter the challenge over at BY THE CUTE AND GIRLY. This is another one of my projects. I saved this brown paper bag from a days shopping and decided to give it a make over. I mounted the image onto some mirri board to give the bag a bit of stability. Added some nice flowers and leaves and on the inside I lined it with gorgeous pink paper, don't know the make of it but it came from C & C many years ago. I used this bag as a gift for my Mil and filled it with her favourite sweet Dolly Mixtures. Very hard to not nibble a few lol. Image - Daisy Company

Embellishments - Prima

Greeting - computer generated
I am entering this into two challenges:

1. One Stop Craft Challenge - bags or gifts

2. Bee Crafty - Photo inspiration

One Stop Crafts Challenge

This card looks orange but believe me its lovely shades of pink! Had to take it indoors as its now dark boo hoo! Where did those lovely light evening go! Anyway the challenge over at One Stop Crafts is BEARY NICE. I made this using the 3d decoupage sheet from C & C. Added ribbon and a charm and flowers to the sentiment. Glittered it up a bit and added some letters.

Die Cut Dreams DT Call, One stop Crafts and Sketch and Stash

Susie and Vikki are having a DT call over at Die Cut Dreams and to enter they ask you to make a PINK card. So here is mine! I followed the sketcher over at Sketch and Stash, the image is Precious Moments, papers are Pink Petticoat, flowers are Prima. I coloured the image with promarkers and copics, added some glitter and sentiments. Being such a cute image I'm hoping it is suitable for the challenge over at one Stop Crafts which is CUTE AND CUDDLY. The border is made using my MS punch, some netting and strings of beads. So if you are interested in entering the DT call why not pop over there and get all the details. Its a real fun and creative challenge blog.

Free Stamp!

Got these stamp free with the Docrafts mag yesterday, isn't he a cutie! Couldn't wait to ink him up and it just happens to fit with three challenges. Have even opened a file to store all my Christmas cards in so I intend to get lots done between now and December! I used papers from DCWV, ribbon and card from my stash, cut border with MS punch and put the whole card through my dotty cuttlebug folder. The sentiment is from my last year's Christmas stash along with the snowflake diecut. The image was coloured with promarkers.

I am entering this in:Truly Scrumptious where I followed the sketch along with the colour theme of black, white and one other, Our Creative Corner where the challenge is called A PET PARADE and also in One Stop Crafts where the theme is FURRY THINGS. Hope you like it.
