Digi Choosday Challenge: Pretty in Purple

Good Morning Bloggers

This weeks challenge at


is
Pretty in Purple



I used the pretty pre-coloured Gymnast image from the Work & Play 11 Collection along with papers, sentiment, paper bow & flowers all from the same collection. I added Stickles to her ribbon, liquid pearl dots & card candi, and other than glue and foam pads that's all I used. I love the fact that everything in the Work & Play Collections all work so well with together and that you really don't need anything other than a card blank, glue & scissors in order to create something beautiful

Karleigh Sue May Flowers

Good Afternoon Bloggers

I'm sharing my first ever Karleigh Sue Inspirational Project today and I used the gorgeous 'I heart mom/mum' image and the theme of 'May Flowers'



Isn't she just so pretty. I decided to make a tag to use for my Mum's birthday pressie, but her birthday isn't until December so I wil have to keep it safe until then
I coloured her with my ProMarkers and as my Mum's fave colour is blue I decided to go with a soft blue & brown combo and used lots of organza & satin ribbons and paper flowers with flat back pearls for middles
You will be able to see all the recent makes by the Karleigh Sue DT on the blog here

New All Dressed Up Facebook Challenge

Happy Tuesday Bloggers

I am here with my second post today, and this one is a reminder of  the  
which this time is
MOTHERS DAY


I used the super sweet 'So Pretty' digi image, coloured with Pro Makers. The papers are from my stash and I used a Magnolia Doohickey die for the flowers. I distressed a piece of white seam binding with Tattered Rose Distress Ink and made a triple bow for the top corner. I used the same distress ink on the edges of the papers, image and flowers. The sentiment is from a set of clear stamps I have and the flower middle are little Cosmic Shimmer Dazzlers

YAY! Go Me!!!

Hello Bloggers

A couple of weeks ago my friend Theresa and I went to have a crafty play day with a lovely lady called Rachel and it was fab. It was the first time we had met and we all got on great together and have decided we will do it once a month

So that's where my 'Go Me!!!' post starts really.
A few days after our visit I got a message from Rachel saying that there was a space on the Karleigh Sue Digi's Challenge Design Team with my name on it if I wanted it. A few milliseconds of thinking and I said a big YES PLEASE, so 'YAY! Go Me!!!' Ive only gone and got myself another DT position on another fantastic designers team

This is my first post as a Karleigh Sue Challenge DT Member and it is for the new challenge starting today which is
MAY FLOWERS
I used the fabby 'Besties' digi image 


Isn't that just a great image, and can be used for so many different occasions. I coloured the image with Pro Markers and cut using a circle nestie. The papers are all from my stash and i used one of the papers to make a large doily using a Tonic die. I distressed all the paper edges using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink before mounting onto a recycled card envelope and brown paper. The flowers, which i also distressed, are from my stash and include some Prima ones and i added small flat backed pearls for the centres. The sentiment is from a clear stamp set but I'm sorry I don't know the name or make
I really enjoyed making this card, the image was so easy to colour and I love the fact it can be used for lots of different occasions

Don't forget to take a look at all my DT Teamies makes and read the rules on the main challenge blog here and take a look at Cheri's fab images for sale here
