Scrapology May Card Challenge

Over at Scrapology this month we have a new card challenge....set by our lovely and super- talented friend Zoe Pierson

The theme was 'Thanks' and this one of my 2 cards that I created for the DT. Its to celebrate mine ( and Zoe's lol) absolute love for those delicious little green orbs...AKA brussell sprouts lol! Well ok.....its only me who loves them ;)
( for some reason the photo looks blurred, but if you click on it and see it full size its better)

this is the sketch that we worked from and you can see the other DT members beautiful creations if you look here

Why not join in with the challenge yourself? You could win this gorgeous prize, very kindly donated by Zoe ( thanks for your generosity Zoe)

I used a lovely fairy from Kraftin Kimmies ( thanks Linda) and coloured her in with my Promarkers and cut out with a scalloped edge nestie. The background is sprout wrapping paper ( from a lovely birthday pressie from Linda and Lynn, thank girls xx) and then have added some angel hair mesh, crochet net, various blossoms and crystals....and LOTS of Stickles!

I made the decorative pin using some beads from my stash.

Hope you like the look of the challenge and decide to have a play along with us.

Warmest wishes

Anita..xx

Birthday Wishes to you Karen!

Blogger was being a real swine to me last night for some reason and I was unable to get on here and post Happy Birthday to a lovely friend...Karen
Karen is an amazing scrapper and also make the most beautiful cards too. I have known her for several years now, originally as a team mate on our team on UKS, The Blossom Babes and now we are also DT teamies over on Scrapology

So Karen, I hope you had a really lovely day yesterday and that you were thooroughly spoilt!

here is the card I made for Karen. I used some scraps of Echo Park papers, Wild Orchid Crafts Cherry Blossoms, CC birthday greetings, Prima Eline crystals and pearls....and of course the gorgeous image, which was very kindly gifted to me by my super lovely friend Lynn
( thank you so much Hun) I think its a Kraftin Kimmie, but I don't know which one, sorry.

Meant to say, its an easel card.....and I coloured the image with Promarkers.

Here are a couple of close ups

I hope Karen got the card ok and that she liked it :)

Enjoy whats left of this evening......I am sat here,with the house smelling of freshly de-brained pumpkin!!!!! Chloe has scooped hers out and carved the face and I think that Lauren will do hers tomorrow....I HATE the smell of Pumpkin.....bleurgh!!!!!
