Our Love is as Deep as the Ocean...

April 8th 2013

I am thrilled to have been asked to be a guest designer again at the Forever Friends Challenge Blog as Michelle Perkett Studio is their sponsor for this challenge! I love to get the opportunity to be a Designer again for Michelle's images since I was a member of her DT. The theme for this fortnightly challenge is to use "Die Cuts and/or Punchies" - loved this theme and as you can see I used die cuts on my card for the shape to "frame" the image and also the "bunch" of foliage. Don't you just love the stunning mermaid couple image from Michelle - it would have to be one of my favourite designs! Can't wait to see everyone's creations and if you have a Michelle Perkett image why not use ot for this challenge or get to her store and purchase one to use!!!

No Two Gardens are the Same....

April 7th 2013

You still have a week to join our "Work is Good" Challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad - we would love to see some more entries so get your thinking caps on a get your creation linked up!! For my new card I have used a great "gardening" image from Guylou's Inimitability digis. Most of my work is with "turf" but I do have one contract which is looking after a private school garden so this is me working in the garden!!! The gorgeous papers are new release digital papers "Butterfly Meadow" from Gecko Galz and the card layout uses the current sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. I found the gardening quote at the Quote Garden site - one of my favourite places to visit to find that perfect quote!!

Viking Couple!

This pair of ATC's is for my reminder post for our "Let's Play Pretend" Challenge at Wicked Wednesday! I used some fantastic pre coloured digital images from Angie Delarie Scrapbooking - I just love to create with Angie's images - they are so quirky and fun - so glad I am part of her DT!!

Mystery Inc.

April 4th 2013

A new creation for "Angie Delarie Scrapbooking" using this "Mystery" set of images - I just love them!! I made this card for the current Drunken Stampers Challenge Blog with their fantastic theme of "Mr & Mrs Smith" (Spy Theme) LOL I have never seen the film but what a great challenge theme!

I bought a new 6 x 6 paper pad by Prima - "Engraver Collection" and thought they were perfect for using on this card. As you can see I got my sewing machine out to stitch all the layers on, added some brads and a charm and printed the wording/sentiment on the computer.
