Whoops, Sorry I'm Late

Hello Bloggers

and a big sorry from me

I've been having problems with my laptop and couldn't get onto my blog to do my post for the Lemon Shortbread Challenge #12 but thankfully I've been reunited with a fully working laptop and can share my make with you now

I used 'Star Girl' and decided to use her for an altered notebook I was making. The notebook was only 4"x3" so I had to make her quite small to fit. I coloured her with ProMarkers and added clear Wink of Stella glitter pen to her stars. I covered the notebook with papers that I distressed with mini ink pads and added ruffled ribbon to the spine edge before finishing with some flat back star embellishments

You can find her and all of the other great Lemon Shortbread digi images in the Etsy shop here and don't forget to enter the challenge and you could win some images

Happy Crafting

Kate

Sweet Roses

Hi Bloggers

Brrrrrr its so cold at the minute, where's the lovely Spring weather? I can't wait for the plants and flowers to start sprouting and growing in my garden again, I love flowers and decided to use a very floral image for my DT make at Lemon Shortbread this time

Isn't she just so pretty

She is called 'Rose Wavy Hair' and is available here. I coloured her with ProMarkers, colours listed below, and once she was finished I knew she would be perfect for another Pocket Letter swap where the theme is 'Shabby Chic with Pink'

I made some paper and lace flowers, ribbon pull bows, a decorated pin and scrunched up netting to decorate along with air dry clay bird & cherub, die cut butterflies, teeny rolled roses and pearl trim

I hope my partner loves it as much as I loved making it, and yes it was scary to chop her up after I coloured her

I hope you will join our challenge this time where you could win some fabulous Lemon Shortbread digi stamps

Happy Crafting

WOW! Challenge #10 at Lemon Shortbread Already

Hello Bloggers

I cant believe we are at Challenge #10 already here at Lemon Shortbread, time is whizzing by

I knew as soon as I saw this digi that I had to make a Mothers Day card for my mum using it, and as its Mothers Day on Sunday here is the UK I don't have long to wait to see if she likes it. She loves gardening and and last summer we did a lot of gardening together working on the front garden of my new bungalow, this year we hope to remodel the back garden

Isn't she so sweet

She is called Gardening Girl and I coloured her with ProMarkers (colours listed below) and all my papers & the frame embellishments are from the Papermania Bellissima collection. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the flowers & lace are from my stash

I hope you will come along and join our challenge, which as always is

Anything Goes

and if you use a Lemon Shortbread image you can win 4 images of your choice. Take a look at all the wonderful images Vera draws here

I look forward to seeing all your fab entries

Happy Crafting
