The Paper Shelter Challenge #196 Blooming

Sadly this will be my last card with one

of the most amazing design teams.....

I have really enjoyed my time with this

fabulous group of ladies. Thank you for

accepting me to your group... =)

The "Blooming" challenge is happening 

over at The Paper Shelter.

I decided to use one the newly release stamps

called Spring Soul. She is perfect for this card.

You can find her here!

I went crazy with the flowers and

it was so much fun. I also seem

to have an addiction to these colours!

The Paper Shelter Challenge #194 Girly

First things first, The Paper Shelter is

looking to add some members to

their DT, please see information below....

Onto this week's challenge.....

For this week's challenge over at The Paper Shelter, it 

was all about making it girly.....

Now girly to me is not always about princesses and tiaras.

I chose to go a little different with this... 

I added some girly elements with the flowers and pearls

but I wanted it to be a bit funky with the skull

and this image..... I LOVE the tattoo on her arm! =)

For this card I chose to use one of the new releases

called Naughty or Nice. She was a dream to ink up.

You can find her here!

I was also thinking of one of my BFF's when I 

was making this card, she is kind of badass.

I thought the image was perfect, along with the 

girly stuff and the skull.. =)

I had fun layering all the pieces to this card...

There is a TON of glue.

The Paper Shelter Challenge #190 Recycle

The Paper Shelter's challenge

this week is asking everyone to use something 

on their card that is recycled.

This should be easy right?

WRONG! I had a hard time with this challenge....

I chose to rip apart a gift bag I had

that had glittered hearts on it.

I thought it was perfect because it is

also almost Valentine's Day 

and well I needed some hearts!

I also chose to use the adorable image

Valentina, which you can find here!

It took me 3 tries to ink this image,

my pens were being stubborn and 

would blob all over her face.....

in fact this one had a blob 

right in the nose area, but

after the third try I was 

determined to make this one work!

Isn't she cute? Aside from the stubborn

markers, I had fun inking this one up.

The Paper Shelter Challenge #186 Dies and/or Punches!

Greetings Everyone!

Welcome back to the Paper Shelter's 

die and/or punch challenge.

I used the Cricut machine, Spellbinders and a circle punch

to achieve this well-rounded birthday card!

The image is The Most Adorable Panda...

I am so not kidding, that is really the name

and I think it is totally fitting.

Check it out here!

I would say this is The Most Adorable Panda EVER!

So for the first time in YEARS, I actually pulled out

my Cricut and cut some shapes. There are a total of 10 

circles including the card base. I'd say I have the die cut

part well under control here. ;)
