Paper Piecing

Good morning all, it's Monday once again & time for this weeks fun new challenge 

over at Eureka Stamps where the theme is

#183 Paper Piecing

Here's my DT card!

As soon as I saw this theme, I knew exactly what I wanted to do!

I used one of the 4 images from the cube Digi 33301 Sunrise,

which I thought was just perfect.

I simply printed the image on to the yellow card stock & some green & brown paper 

then cut out the different sections. Next, I matted & layered the image on to

 green & brown card from my scap pile. 

The Hello sentiment was cut three times 

from the green & brown card then layered for added dimension.

I added some mesh & a couple of co-ordinating buttons & that's it!

I hope you can play along in the challenge this week!

I'd like to enter this card in a couple of challenges:

Good Luck

Good morning all!

Is it Monday already?? 

Boo, that means I'm back at work!

I've had a great week off taking in the sights & sounds of the

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 

as well as getting a few things done about the house!

So, now it's back to normality & a brand new challenge over at

Eurekas Stamps where the theme this time is

#155 Button Button (use a button on your creation)

I've used several tiny little, blue heart, buttons on my card!

The image & sentiment are both from Eureka Stamps

Digi 22205 Kite and Digi 8101(488) Good Luck

The base card is my usual 6"x6" square base.

The image & sentiment were printed onto some smooth card.

I added some clouds using a stencil & Tumbled Glass Distress Ink 

then paper pieced the image with some snippets of paper from the 

First Edition "Bird Song" Paper Pad,  

I added my little buttons to the bows on the tail of the kite.

I hope you like it & I hope you can play along in our

Button Challenge

It's time for this weeks challenge over at

Eureka Stamps

Where the theme is # 146 Paper Piecing

Here's my card!

I've used the sweet litle Digi 22205 Kite

The base card is 6"x6" made using some cardstock from Lidl

I added the image 3 times in my graphics programme

& rotated it in different directions to make my main image panel.

I then printed the image onto some plain card & two differen design papers,

 also from Lidl. Next, I cut out some of the pieces from each colour to 

paper piece the image.

I added some punched starts to the corners of the image & a sentiment

that I made uo on my pc.

The inside of the card is decorate to match.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you can play along in the challenge.

Morning Lovely Bloggers!

It's Wednesday & time for the latest challenge at 

Dude Time Doodles

 where the theme is "Fun In The Sun!"

here's my card!

I've used the lovely Fanny Beach image with

a cropped down, Downtown Delmar Disco!

I added the thought bubble & sentiment in my graphics programme.

The Design Paper was a freebie from Jak Heath

I used it to paper piece her bikini & hairband,  

then added some shading with promarkers!

I'm not convinced Fanny is having as much fun as she should be!

She's on holiday far across the sea, celebrating Independence day

with her mates in Dudeville Hollow, just a short couple of weeks

 after celebrating her first Wedding Anniversary with 

Delmar & she's missing him terribly!

This time last year they were still on Honeymoon!

So she's sending him this little "Wish You Were Here" card!

As you can see from the inside I've used a green square card blank base!

I added a matt of yellow paper then the Design Paper. 

A panel with the DP again & some ribbon & buttons from my stash!

Found some little fish bone charms in my stash so I added them too!

Do stop by & check out the other awesome DT projects

you won't be disappointed I'm sure!

I hope you find the time to play along too!

Morning all! Happy Wednesday to you!

We've had some Freaky Weather here in the UK!

Last week was like summer & this week we have snow!

It's time for a new challenge at Dude Time Doodles yippee!

This week, the theme is 

April Fools, The Joke's On You!

Take it whatever way you like!!!

Each of the Dude & Dudette's have created something 

wonderful for your inspiration!

Here's my card!

Meet Fanny Fart!

I guess you could put her down as one of the occasional frou frou images at 

Dude Time Doodles

Poor Fanny has always wanted to be a bit of a practical joker,

sneaking up on folks to surprise them but can't quite figure out

why they always know she's there!!

Can you figure it out???

The layout is this weeks sketch from

The Sweetest Thing

I rotated it through 90 degrees

I added a little thought bubble to the image in my graphics programme!

The puff of wind was already there!!! Pffffttt!!

I coloured Fanny's skin & hair using promarkers then paper pieced 

her dress, hair band & shoes, adding a bit of shading here & there!!

The papers, ribbon & buttons I have used are all from a

Papermania capsule collection which I've had in my stash for ages.

The sentiment ticket is The Crafty Pad

I decorated the inside of my card too!

I find this helps with balance!

I really hope you can make it over to
