Sunshine Mail

Hi everyone, yet again I have been a very bad blogger. It has been way too long since my last post!
I'm hoping to blog a bit more regularly, as I am now a DT member of the fantastic Sunshine Mail team!
It's a fantastic blog and organisation so stop by their blog to read more about what they do.

So on to the February 15th challenge, Red Rubber Designs are the sponsors and very kindly gave us some fun images to work with and we also had the fun challenge of "buttons/bows". Here is what I came up with using "wonder and joy"

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas with a twist

Hello all! I hope you had a great weekend! I went to see my favourite band play in Dublin and went out for dinner for my sisters birthday, so a fun weekend all round :)

Ok, on to this weeks challenge on PaperCupcakes. Debbie challenged us to make a Christmas card with non traditional colours and here is my take on it.

 

I used the cute Angel snowman image, DCWV pp, organza ribbon, bow easy, Nestabilities, Papermania gem and the sentiment - Nollaig Shona is computer generated and means happy Christmas in Irish.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day :)

Be Thankful...

Good morning! I hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween. This weeks challenge on PaperCupcakes is "Be Thankful" - make a Thanksgiving or thank you card. I used one of my favourite PaperCupcakes images "birthday wishes" as I thought it would be perfect for this challenge, plus I think it's nice to use the images in different ways.

Supplies: Birthday wishes image from PaperCupcakes, Papermania pp, flowers & pearls

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you play along with the challenge :)

Tag it

I'm a bit late getting around to my PaperCupcakes post today! This weeks challenge, as you probably guessed is to make a tag. I used the lovely tea party princess image, some organza ribbon and a little pearl for my mine. As the image is so pretty I kept the colouring pretty simple by adding just a touch of some purples.

There's a great prize of some stamps this week for the winner so I hope you can come and play along with the challenge!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for stopping by :)

Good morning! The challenge on There's magic in the air this week is brought to us by Patti.

There's magic in the air - sketch challenge

Good morning! This weeks challenge on There's magic in the air is a sketch challenge. I love sketches, they are by far my favourite kind of challenge!

Melanie gave us this fantastic sketch to work with

and here is the card I made using it

I used the lovely Kacey image from PaperCupcakes and some paper from my stash and I thought the buttons would be perfect for the circular elements on the sketch. I added a little glitter to her wings but it doesn't really show up in the photo. Don't forget if you don't own any PaperCupcakes images you can always download the freebie Hello Cupcake here because we would love to have you play along :)
