Okies on to my Card.

I have used "Love You Lara" and the sentiment is from the
"Ticket Sentiments"

As you know, off the Page projects are not really my thing!! lol, so I
ended up decorating this gift box. I coloured "Love You Lara" with
copics. E000, E00, R20, R29, R81,R83, R85, R89,
E51,E53,E55,E57

I used some Prima flowers and gemstones. The ticket sentiment
i inked up using Versa Color "Pinecone".
I was trying for the browny tones, but somehow ended up with the
Pinky ones as well??? Oh well looks ok to me!! rofl

Well Thanks for dropping by, can't wait to see
all your fabulous creations

Have a Great Day

New Challenge from The Paper Shelter

Well helloooooo Everyone!!

There is another great Challenge going over at The Paper Shelter,
and I have to say, it is one of my favourite challenges.

The new Challenge is........

"Pearls & Swirls"

I can hear your minds ticking over from here, with all the ideas you can come up with!!

As always we have some great prizes up for grabs. If you use a TPS image on your creation you have a chance of winning a $20 voucher. If you use another brand of image you are up for a chance of winning three images of your choice. Such wonderful prizes!

Righto, on to my card!
I have used "The Fairy of The Cookies" Image. Isn't she so gorgeous!
I really do have to try and pick my papers before I colour. I went and coloured
her with copics (using my favourite colour combo) and then, boy... I had to go
looking for papers. I have used another favourite of mine,
the paper is from the "Christmas Swirls" Set, from Bearly Mine Designs.
It perfectly matched my colours (I know what a surprise right!! lol)

Here is a closer look at her. She is just so sweet!
Well, i cant wait to see what you all come up with.
Don't forget to head over to the Challnege Blog, and Check out
the wonderful creations the Design Team have come up with, just for you.

Have a Great Day

Tracey

Design Team Call

Hey Everyone Just letting you know,
there is a Design Team Call over at The Paper Shelter

The call ends 24th of January. You don't need to have any experience of being on a team and we are looking for all kind of crafters that can incorporate digital images in their crafting. So this is what you need to be able to do for us.

What you need to do to apply to the team

• As we work with digital images we like you to use a digi for your application card. It doesn't have to be new and it doesn't have to be a TPS image even if we would love to see you use them.

• Your colouring skills needs to be excellent and that is one of the main things we are looking at for our new design team members.

• Please don't cover up your creation in too much decorations for this application, we really love to see your colouring!

Okay, so get cracking hope to see your entries!

Hugs
Tracey

congratulations Linda!

A beautiful card, love the black lace, so very elegant.

Now onto this weeks Challenge and it is

"Tie A Bow"

Yep, that's it. Let's see a tied bow on your creation!

As usually we have the smashing $20 voucher up for grabs if you use a
Paper Shelter image on your creation.
We really would love to see more of using them so we can give away our vouchers.
If you use another brand of image the prize will be three digis of your choice.

So off you go, and I am looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.

************************
Now on to my card. I have used the "Dew Drops" image. I cut her out
and mounted her so she looked like she was tieing my bow! hmmmm
I think i even have the bow on a bit of an angle and it looks like she is pulling it.
I just snipped between her hands so I could place the bow between them.
Hmmmm, not bad if i do say so myself!! rofl
When I saw this challenge, I thought of this stamp straight up, I knew
I wanted to do something like this. I thought her just perfect.
Though, it was tough, Veronica and Pedro have had some
wonderful new Stamps released for December!
The paper is from Bearly Mine and it has snowflakes etc on it.
We dont get a white Christmas here, so this is as close to a white Christmas
i might get!! lol


Well thankyou for dropping by, I hope you
have a wonderful day.
Have a Very Happy and Safe New Year
Hugs
Tracey

See you all next Year! lol

Just a note before I get onto my card.
As you know our wonderful Creative Leader "Donna"
has not been well, and needs a little bit of time off to recuperate.
So this Challenge, will be our last for a little while.
WE WILL BE BACK!!
Keep a look out for our return,
we will be back with wonderful Creations Just For YOU!!

So have fun with this challenge, and I look forward to seeing your
wonderful creations.

Donna and The entire Bearly Mine Design Team,

would like to wish you all,

A Very Merry Christmas
and a
Happy New Year

and we would also to thank all of the
wonderfully creative people that have joined in
our challenges over the past year...
lots of glorious cards, creations and so much inspiration.

Ok now onto my card.
I have used a paper from the Designer Extreme III CD,
(OMG you really do need these!!) lol
It is in the Xmas folder on the CD.
I have used one of my latest Magnolia Stamps, "Ice Tilda" and coloured
her with copics. I stamped around the oval with the Magnolia
"Snowflakes" in brushed corduroy Distress Ink, then added
Star Dust stickles to them. I loved the look of the gold and white,
with just the touch of pink.
I do want to add here, I love the papers I use, and I really do look
to use more than one paper on a card, but i then think, why am i using all these
lovely papers, then covering them up, so you cant see them!!!
Anyways, its just a little thing with me, sometimes i love to
use multiple papers, but other papers are just toooo gorgeous to do it!!!

Ok well thanks for having a looksee, I look forward to seeing your
wonderful creations.
I want to wish you all a safe and happy holiday
Take Care
Hugs
Tracey
