I actually bought a Paper Shelter image with the express intention of using it for this challenge. And yet somehow I have ended up doing a Christmas card. Oops. Ach well, I'll use the image for something else!

Favourite Colour Combo

As you can see I've gone for a black and white combo (with the teensiest touch of red!).

Summer

Now I could have done lots of things for this and loads more have sprung to mind but Summer in Glasgow means one thing - the Commonwealth Games so today I am sharing a card I was asked to make for someone who is a Queen's Baton Bearer.

This fortnight our theme is

Monochrome

Our sponsor this fortnight is The Paper Shelter.

I've gone for a very simple card today. The main image stamp came free with a magazine a couple of months ago and I thought it would work perfectly for this challenge. I've used an Inkylicious sentiment stamp to go with it.

I could have gone for a fairy image as I've seen a few cards lately using stamps I have that I haven't used for a while but I decided to go for an aeroplane and as it turns out I haven't used this stamp for a while either!

Say It With Words

Our sponsor this fortnight is Crafty Sentiments.

I've used The One stamp from Visible Image for a wedding card that I was asked to do. I love WoW cards for weddings, I think they're my favourite and it's the easiest, especially if you don't know the couple's colour scheme.

Vintage

Our sponsor this fortnight is The Paper Shelter.

I found this vintage image whilst browsing on Pinterest and I thought it would be perfect for this challenge. I used this card for my Aunt's 80th birthday card last week - you will note that I have not put an age anywhere on the card as she hates ages on cards!!

This is my second post of the day - please scroll down for my Hobbycutz card.

Hello, I'm back again to tell you about a new challenge at Dream Valley Challenges.

This fortnight our theme is

Tag It
(make a tag or a card with a tag on it!)

I was having a play with some inks the other day and decided to just use some stamps with it to create a tag!

I stamped a Prima Script stamp using Stampin' Up Crumb Cake ink and followed it up with the Visible Image Free Your Imagination Set.

I coloured some white seam binding ribbon using Wild Honey DI and teamed it with some brown seam binding.

This fortnight our theme is

For a Boy/Man

Been good challenges for me this weekend eh?!

This was a card made sometime last year that I never quite got round to sharing - it was made for a friend for her nephew. I must admit I had fun colouring this one in!

It's now time for a new challenge at Dream Valley Challenges

This fortnight our theme is

Christmas

(what could be easier, right!)

As it's Christmas we have loads of sponsors and they are - Crafty Ribbons, Bugaboo, Robyn's Fetish, The Paper Shelter, Saturated Canary and Digital Delights! 

This is our last challenge this year and we'll be back on 12th January!

And look here's the Tim Holtz Santa for the second time this weekend - this time I've teamed him with some of the other stamps which are in the set. And I forgot to tell you yesterday that I actually bought this set at the SECC in October for the bargain price of £7.50! Yes, £7.50. It would have been rude not to wouldn't it.

I must admit I love this set and this was another simple card to knock together, I've made a background paper using the script stamp with the Postcard Stamp at the top and the foliage stamp round the edges. I might make a few more like this!

Clean and Simple

Our sponsor this fortnight is Crafty Ribbons.

I've gone for something a little different for me. I created an oval mask using a nestie and stamped the Indigo Blu Script stamp in Crumb Cake ink and then I stamped from the SU Just Believe and Silhouette Sentiments sets in Early Espresso ink and finally added a sentiment in the bottom corner.

This fortnight our theme is

Humour

Our sponsor this fortnight is Bugaboo.  I've gone for this cheeky little elf that I got from Pollycraft recently before it closed it's doors. I think, on reflection, a grumpy elf might have been better but we'll make do with this wee chappy.
