Life Is Better At The Beach

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's been a bitterly cold March here so far, so I am dreaming of sitting on a beach somewhere and being warm under the sun!

I have used 'Seaside Sweetness' from Power Poppy to create a twisted easel card with lots of beachy vibes.

I went with a red, white and blue theme to match my ribbons and fussy-cut the image.

it's been a while since I used these metal embellishements!

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

A Rockin' Birthday at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for another challenge week with Team B at The Paper Shelter and this week we are asking you to make a Shaped Card.

It's been a while since I made a rocking stepper card and I thought it was the perfect thing to go with 'How You Doin'?'. I picture this little hedgehog all curled up and just rocking away!

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!

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.
