Living It Up at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I'm back with some more inspiration for The Paper Shelter. This week our theme is Food & Drink, so get out those delicious images and have fun with yummy embellishments!

I have used '3D Movie' for an easel card.


I merged the uncoloured image with the coloured background using Photoshop, as this isn't an easy image to fussy-cut.


My bestie made me a popcorn embellishment from Fimo clay, as neither of us had anything suitable to use!


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!

Shaking It Up For Christmas

Hello Crafty Peeps,

The kiddoes are back to school now, so I have a bit more time to myself for crafting!

Sweet November Stamps are having a challenge in their Facebook group with a theme of shakers, so I thought I would make a shaker tag as I usually only make cards. 

'Candy Cane Fairy' is the perfect size for a tag. I coloured her all in traditional candy cane colours and encased the tag in cellophane for the shaker elements. I also added loose glitter, so naturally that went all over me too!!


Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to come back soon!

Sparkly Thanks at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

We have resumed our normal schedule at The Paper Shelter and Team B are back this week with a brand new challenge. The theme this time is Make It Sparkle, so get out those bling embellishments and sparkly papers and show us your creativity!

I have used 'Lotus Fairy', alongside lots of glitter paper for a layered thank you card.

I created a simple 'bubble' background for the fairy

It's never easy showing shimmer on a full card photo!


The glitter card shows better under a light.
