Hello!

Our new color challenge for this week has been posted!
Our fun challenge is Tic Tac Toe


and here is my card.  The colors I chose are from top left to bottom right and as
I chose that diagonal I had to use flowers, punch/die & pearls.  I loved making this card
and used my favorite papers once more.

The pearls are self adhesive ones.  The sentiment is from GKD.

but unfortunately my photography is not crash hot and my colors look darker 
than they actually are!

Here is my card:

Well it is there under the sentiment - a strip of yellow ribbon.

For my card I have used Graphic 45 'Time to Celebrate' paper.
IBS Fancy Label Dies 3

A piece of paper doily, Lace, Self adhesive pearls, piece of rick rack.
Compliments of the Season to all and if you are travelling  have a safe one!

Color Challenge at The Outlawz December 16, 2014

Hello!

Judith chose the Inspirational Photo for our challenge this week. A beautiful Christmas
table setting and the twist is to add Tartan fabric.




For my card this week I decorated a tag.


I have used a stencil and embossing paste on white card stock and when dry
sponged with distress ink.  The branches and deer's head are cut files for
the Cameo from Miss Kate Cuttables. These I have rubbed with Inca Gold Paste,
Antique Gold & Silver.
The Poinsettia is from Spellbinders which I cut in red card stock and rubbed it with some 
silver paste.  Made a bow with some twine.

we would love to see you.,

Color Challenge at The Outlawz December 9th 2014

Hello!

and here it is.


This week I decided to try something quite different.
I must however give mention and credit to Bird, thanks Bird, from 'Bird's Card' 
as I have downloaded a free cut file from her site.
I thought it would be interesting to see how it would work using these colors.  I have left a cut layer. 
out and used an embossing folder on the base layer.  I hope you like it.

gift voucher for some digis so please pop over the The Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge (the link is above) and have a look at the beautiful creations of the other Design Team members

I made a few Thanksgiving cards for my daughter and this is one where I used
a digi from Doodle Pantry.  I have just realized that I can enter it into a
