CYDI? Challenge #32 - Pick a Season

Hello.

As well as being naughty and leaving my blog with no posts recently, I also didn't get a project posted in time for the latest CYDI? challenge. This post is the card I would have made for the challenge. The challenge is to make a card based on your choice of season. It's supposed to be spring here at the moment but the weather is stuck in winter, so I wanted to make a spring card to at least pretend it's starting to get warmer.

Happy Birthday Mum!

Hello.

Today is my Mum's birthday! As well as making a card for her I have made her a calender. This guy is Romeo by Kenny K. Anyone who has ever had to make my mum a coffee will have most likely heard her saying the phrase I have added. The writing was done using Hobbycraft's Typography Alphabet, and the paper is from the Oxford pad by Basic Grey. 

I used another Kenny K image (Total Disaster) for her card. I have been planning this card for her since I first got that digi. I used an Elzybells alphabet for most of the sentiment, and a FunkyHand stamp for the rest. The spotty paper is from the All Seasons pad in the Recollections range from Michael's.

Hello.

When looking through my pile of printed digi's I was inspired to use one of my favourite images. This is Devilish Donna by Kenny K. She is on a paper from the All Seasons pad, which is backed by a paper from my scraps. The flowers are from the small Petal Pouch by Papermania, with their centres punched from the same scrap paper I used matting. The gems are from my stash.

CYDI? Challenge #26 - Sparkle, Sparkle

Hello.

Happy new year to all my blogging friends! I hope you all had a good start to 2013.

Today's card is for the Can You Digi It challenge. Challenge 26 is to use some sparkle. I created my card using Bingo Dress Form & Wings by LilyPink designs. I used Star Dust Stickles to make the wings sparkly. There are also a few of the craft goodies I got for Christmas used on this card. The ribbon is from a pack designed by Amy Tan for American Crafts, and was tied using my Papermania Bow Maker. The background paper is from the All Seasons pad from the Recollections line by Michaels, and the circle is from the Blossom pad by K and Company. 

 Here's a coupld of closer pictures to show the sparkle on the wings.

Peace

Hello.

I wanted this card to reflect how serene the image is, so I kept it fairly plain and just used layers of white card, although I did add some glitter around the image to give it a wintry feel.
