The Paper Shelter Challenge #612 - All Creatures Great and Small & All Things Magical and Mythical #138

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is to include an animal, great or small on your project or card. You could include an image of just an animal or an animal with a human character as well. 

For my card, I have chosen the adorable Cloudcrest Dragon and used one of my favourite dragon colour combos - teal and purple! I kept this one fairly simple so the dragon could take the centre stage, just adding some shimmer to his horns and wing.

All Things Magical and Mythical #136 Featuring Care Bears

Good morning everyone and welcome to this week's All Things Magical & Mythical post. I have just finished my 6 weeks summer holidays and decided to take some time off from blogging, but I'm back at school today for days of training before the children come back on Thursday, so I will be back to my usual blogging schedule now! I did spent a very long part of my holidays sorting and rearranging all my dies (I have heaps and heaps of them!) and put them all into die folders in categories and updated where they all are in my Evernote files, so hopefully I will be able to find things a bit easier now! 

Anyway onto today's card - not sure it is particularly mythical but it's definitely magical with these cute Care Bears stamps and dies! I loved the Care Bears as a kid and just had to have these stamps when they were released this summer.

All Things Magical and Mythical #114 Featuring Valentine's Gnome from Jo Kavanagh Designs

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post. For today's card, I thought I would make a Valentine, yet not Valentine card. By that I mean I have used a Valentine's image and patterned papers but by changing up the sentiment slightly, it could be used just to send love and hugs to a dear friend instead of my boyfriend! He only needs one card for tomorrow! LOL

Anyway... here's my card using this cute gnome image from Jo Kavanagh Designs. 

This card is for

All Things Magical and Mythical #113 Featuring Anniversary Fairy from The Greeting Farm

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post. This week, I have used another gorgeous image from The Greeting Farm, Anniversary Fairy which was a free image I think a few years back to celebrate The Greeting Farm's birthday.

I went for a pastel colour combo this time, but kept her hair nice and bright to stand out from the rest of the card. Lots of layers and lots of gems made for a pretty card, yet fairly simple.

The Greeting Farm Guest Designer Post #2 & All Things Magical and Mythical #111 Featuring Fairyland

Good morning everyone and welcome to my second guest designer post for The Greeting Farm. For today's card, I have used the gorgeous Fairyland digi set which is jammed packed full of different elements that you can use to create a fairyland scene. I also used the tree from the Food Truck digi set in the background. I love how you can combine so many different sets in one scene!

I also used my new Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil machine on this one, which was a lovely Christmas present to receive! Just had to buy some more hot plate die sentiments to go with it! Love the shimmer it gives the sentiment! 

And a close up of the fairies outside their cute thatched cottage!
