Ice skating bear

Happy Sunday everyone!! It's time for another challenge over at OSAAT and this time it is rather special as we are welcoming a fantastic new designer called Rick St. Dennis. You can read all about him on the challenge blog. I was lucky enough to be able to use one of his fantastic images - just perfect for me as they are teddy bears. Look at this cutie

I have coloured the image with promarkers and made a mini pizza box style gift box using the instructions from Splitcoast stampers . I decided to go with traditional xmas colours and a few gold peel offs around the top edge. The sides have gold and green ribbon wrapped around them.

Don't forget to head over to OSAAT and check out the other images the rest of the DT used and then go crazy with your digi stamps and papers and enter this weeks challenge for the chance to win a very exclusive prize.

I'd also like to enter my little gift box into the following challenges:

Create4fun : use a digi

Bah Humbug : Cuties

MAWTT : Anything but a card

Delightful Challenges : Red, green and white

ABC Christmas challenge : U for under the tree

Bee Crafty's Card challenge : No patterned card or paper

Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Marvin Monkey

Hi Folks

Just wanted to show you the card I have made for my nephews birthday which is next weekend. I used Marvin on Vine from Pink Gem, because he likes monkeys and I thought it is a really fun image for a child's card. I stamped him 3 times and, as usual, I used Promarkers to colour him in, then I decoupaged up the image to give it some depth. I raided my stash for suitable papers : Grandpa's golf shirt by Reminisce, Fauna by Doodlebug and a sheet from the 6" x 6" Wild Asparagus collection by MME. The glittery number 7 is from a sheet of stickers by Craft Creatives which I picked up on a good B.O.G.O.F. offer the other week!! I'd like to enter Marvin into the following challenges:

A Gem of a challenge - Special Birthdays - I think all birthdays are 'important' when you are little, it is only as you get older you want to forget a few. I know that Matthew certainly thinks his birthday is special LOL!!

Isn't she cute ???

Hello Folks!

Don't you just love this cute & girly bear?? She is called Daisy and I bought her this week from The Clipart Fairy. I think she was an absolute bargain for 65p and so easy to use and resize etc. If you are a bear fan like me, they have several cute bear digi's that are just waiting to be adopted!! A few more might have jumped into my shopping basket along with Daisy. Well, I didn't want her to get lonely now did I!!!

I used a sheet of BG paper from sugared collection, prima E - line flowers, prima got flowers, papermania (i think?) paper for her dress, butterflies and ribbons from stash, computer generated sentiment and a clear pearl.

Daisy is 'entering' the following challenges:

Sketch & Stash Challenge #32 : Daisy was new and the butterflies have been in my stash for ages!!

Create4fun: brown, cream & pink

Quirky crafts challenge: Flowers

Stamptacular Sunday challenge : Flower power

Crafty calendar challenge: Flower power & optional pastels

Pink Elephant: Pastels

Digital Tuesday : Scrap it - Daisy's dress has been paper pieced with a scrap from my box of bits!!

Creative Cottage: Pretty Pink

Pile it on : Animal Riffic! - she is a bear so I hope that counts!!

and

Crafty creations: Anything goes!!

Good luck Daisy!!!
