Focus On Your Dreams

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

Sweet November Stamps just had a new digital release and I couldn't resist as these Fairy Sleepover images are just so adorable. I grabbed 'Fairy Sleepover: Deirdre' and 'Fairy Sleepover: Foxglove Accessory Set' as I had to have those fireflies and lamps!

I love creating scenes using Photoshop and for this one I went with a 5x7 size. I took the empty foxgloves and flipped them, then made them lighter to show that they are further away in the scene. I finished off by adding a sentiment that I thought perfectly fit a sleeping fairy.

Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate your kind comments.

The Magic of Books at The Paper Shelter

Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for another challenge at The Paper Shelter and this week we are asking you to create something Inspired By A Book.

I have chosen to be inspired by books in general and made a bookmark using 'Bookworm Fairy'

Being a fairy, I figured a quote featuring magic would be perfect!

I added a bit of "magic" with sparkly pens and finished off with some iridescent stars.

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

Get Wool Soon

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I always like to keep a stash of cards to hand for different occasions so I can grab one at short notice, but I realized that I don't have any get well cards. I had to rectify that with this fun image 'Get Wool Soon' from Power Poppy. 

Green and purple is a combination I never use, but I'm really liking it for this image.

Coffee & Cake at The Paper Shelter

Hello Crafty Peeps,

I'm back again with some more inspiration for The Paper Shelter and this week we are asking you to share Something You Love.

There's so many options to choose from on the website, but I stopped at 'Pixie Caramel Macchiato' for this challenge as it's so perfect for me,

My husband and I have always loved going out for coffee and cake, and Caramel Macchiato is one of my favourite drinks to order from Starbucks!

I kept the image in earth tones to match my paper.

My amazing friend, Susan, made me these coffee bean embellishments out of Fimo clay.

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Alluring Thanks

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's another cold and grey day here in Canada, so I'm brightening things up with a CAS card featuring 'Alluring Lily' by Power Poppy..

I gave my card some more interest by embossing the base first.

I used the 'no lines' technique for the Lily.

Thanks for stopping by. Your kind comments are always appreciated.
