Hi everyone,

Today I'd like to show you a layout that I have created for " Couture Creations Subscriber Competition". Couture Creations is  celebrating the selection of their very first design team.
 You have the chance of winning ten  5 x 7 Fresh and Fun embossing folders.......I only have a few embossing folders at the moment.......... thank you for the chance to win more to add to my collection.

"Denim and Lace"
This is a photo of my daughter Jordyn.....taken a few years ago. The background paper is from DCWV denim stack..........I have also used a variety of kaiser papers. Some of the flowers are patterned felt, I'm not sure who makes them.


I have used 'Swiss Dots' on the photo mat, 'Entangled' on the butterfly and 'Key to my Heart' on the heart.

Hey there...........Its time for another challenge at The Shabby Tea Room.
Rebekah is our creative host , she has chosen the theme "Lovely Layers"

How pretty is this inspiration photo!



Add layers to created dimension using the sketch and colours from the photo.


Bugaboo stamps is our sponsor this week..........the stamp I have used is 'Cupcake tag'.
Party Time and XOX  are from Paper Sweeties stamps.

I have layered pretty pink papers, adding a Cheery Lyn doily and gathered some crepe paper for the ruffle.
Last week I used crepe paper too........I love the softness it adds to a project! Its a similar look to the icing on the pretty cake inspiration photo I think!

Sugar and Spice

Hello........and welcome to another "Stuck on U Sketches " Die cut challenge!

St Patricks day will be here in a few weeks.........so....we would love to see your Die cut "Shamrocks"!
I know.......my layout is not Irish themed but I thought the flower petals on the pattern paper looked close to a shamrock shape. So, I cut some shamrocks from a Childs Year cricut cartridge and sprinkled them around, adding a touch of glitter and a button to them.



Just a simple layout with some pretty papers from Kaiser Primrose collection.

Come join us for this fun challenge...........
.
Since the middle of this week I have been fighting a chest infection.......I hope to visit you all soon when I'm feeling better.

Have a great week
Happy Crafting

"Frame it" ........TSTR #156

Hi everyone,
I am excited to be hosting the challenge this week in "The Shabby Tea Room"

I have chosen the theme "Frame It!"

Love this pretty picture!




I would like you to create a Card or Project using the colour white with one other colour and add a frame.

Here is my card...........I did not plan on making an Easter themed card, it just went that way with the more elements that I added! Does that ever happen to you?



Paper Sweeties is sponsoring this challenge......Season's Change is a stamp from Paper Sweeties.
I used the cricut to cut the small frame from 'Elegant Edges' and the bunny from 'Easter'. Tim Holtz crackle paint was used on the background paper........a doily, some lace, twine, felt flowers, pearls and buttons.

Hope you can join us for this fun challenge.
The Shabby Girls have Beautiful projects to show you, please pop over and have a peek!
