For this month’s challenge at Dragonfly Dreams, we have all been adding gorgeous Ribbons and Bows!
Our sponsor is A Day for Daisies, and I chose the gorgeous “Music” image to work with.
Isn’t she just gorgeous? I love the pretty layers of her dress and the old fashioned Pianoforte she is playing.
Come and join us for the Ribbons and Bows challenge at Dragonfly Dreams, we love to see what you have been creating.
Happy stamping!

This month at Pattie’s Creations challenge, we are doing an Autumn (or Fall) or Halloween challenge.
I have chosen the Autumn Wreath image to use for my card for this challenge.
Here is my card:
I have used some lovely retired paper for the background, I love the look of the wood planks.
The image has been coloured using Copic Markers and then fussy cut – yep, with scissors!
I hope you will join us with your own Autumn project this month at Pattie’s Creations Challenge.
Happy stamping!

This month at Pattie’s Creations Design Challenge we are having a Back To School Challenge.
Here in Australia, we don’t have long school holidays in the middle of the year, we have them over the Christmas break. But in our house, we don’t have them at all! Or should that be, we have them all the time!?? We are a homeschooling family, so we don’t have back to school at all.
I have used the very cute Mr Bookworm With Books image, and since my son reads heaps of books, I thought I would make him a book mark.
The image has been coloured with Copic Markers, and I have used some patterned papers from my stash, and mounted it on some red cardstock – my son’s favourite colour!
Please share with us your Back To School projects at Patties Creations, we love to see what you have been creating.
Happy stamping!

Our sponsor for the month of August at Dragonfly Dreams is All Dressed Up.
Since the theme this month is Must Have Wings, I have chosen to use the gorgeous free image, Butterflies.
I have printed the image on to some retired Stampin’ Up! patterned papers and then coloured the image with Copic Markers. Such pretty butterflies!
I hope you will join us at Dragonfly Dreams Challenges, and share your winged projects 🙂
Happy stamping!

This week at Crafty Boots Challenges we are doing Christmas in July. I have to admit that it has certainly been cold enough here in this part of Australia this winter and we have had falls of snow a number of times. We don’t normally have a white Christmas in Australia, so it is nice to be reminded of what a traditional Christmas feels like.
My card for today’s challenge features this gorgeous Kitten in a Stocking image from Aurora Wings. The image has been coloured with Copic Markers, then fussy cut and mounted over some silver cardstock.
I hope you will share your Christmas cards with us at Crafty Boots Challenges – it’s never too early to get started on those Christmas cards!!
Happy Stamping!

This month at Crafty Girlz Challenges our sponsor is Stitchy Bears:
I have used the A Bird Among The Branches image for my card.
This is such a beautiful image, that I wanted it to be the feature of my card, so I have kept the card very simple. The image had been coloured with Copic Markers.
Make sure you join us and share your creations with us at Crafty Girlz challenges this month.
Happy Stamping!

Just a quick post today to remind you to join us at Crafty Boots Challenges for our Stars or Stripes Challenge.
I have used both stars and stripes for my card today.
My card features another great masculine digital image from Tiddly Inks, Golf, which comes as a bonus with the Father’s Day Vintage Truck image.
I have made this card for someone special who has gone above and beyond to help us find our new house (more about that soon!!).
Happy stamping!

Christmas in July, that is…. and it is most definitely cold enough here to be a white Christmas in July, in fact the snow has been forecast for the next day or two. So what better to do, than stay warm with the fire going, and colour!
I have created a card for the current Just Add Ink challenge, using a gorgeous image I found on Pinterest.
The image is actually a colouring page, which I have reduced to card size. Have you got in to all the adult colouring pages and books? I have just started and am having so much fun with them, I find colouring very relaxing.
The image was printed on to some white blending cardstock, then coloured with Copic Markers. I have simply mounted it straight on to some of the new heavier weight Stampin’ Up! Whisper White cardstock.
Stay warm, and happy stamping!

Theme – Make a Splash: Water MUST be part of your Image!
For this month’s challenge with Pattie’s Creations I have chosen Pattie’s wonderful Mallards image.
I just loved colouring this image, and of course have used my Copic Markers.
I decided to keep the card very clean and simple so that the image was the highlight of the card, and also decided to leave it blank without a sentiment, although it could be used for just about any type of card.
I hope you will join in the fun this month, create something with a water theme, or just that has some water somewhere, and share it with us at Pattie’s Creations in July.
Happy Stamping!
