Hi all, the new challenge over at DYSU is to create a card or project for a friend.
I chose this sweet image from one of our generous sponsors, called Faye with Flowers from Pink Gem Designs.
I made a thank you card for my daughter's friend (I have a few more to make!) in anticipation of her birthday presents - her birthday is not until 6th August, but as we are away, she is having a sleep over before we go instead. I'm trying to stay ahead of the game, and I'm sure her BFF will love this!
I coloured her with promarkers, and layered her onto a Spellbinders ironwork Motifs small doily, then layered this onto a Marianne Designs snowflake.
The polka dot paper underneath is from Kanban.
The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!, stamped in Distress Ink Weathered Wood, cut with a S.U punch too. I wrapped a little piece of off cut seam binding (I can never bear to throw away these little pieces), and layered a pale blue magnolia flower and button twine bows from The Ribbon Reel.
Here are our generous sponsors for this week:
* Winner's Choice of 3 Digis
* $10 Gift Certificate
Floppy Latte Digital Designs -

* $10 Gift Certificate
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Stamptacular Sunday - Use a Die Cut
I Love Promarkers - Gold, Silver or bronze - I have used silver mirri card.
Crafty Catz - Monochromatic
Card Makin' Mamas - 1 image, 2 designer papers (polka dot and mirri card) and 3 embellishments (flower, twine bow and seam binding ribbon).
In two days we are off on holiday to the South of France, and we are all very excited! Sun!! Sea!! A lie in every day!! Just can't wait! Hopefully there will be internet access at our apartment, so I'm hoping to still be able to visit my favourite blogs and challenges - even if I can't join in, there's no way I would get my craft stuff on a plane lol!
I will still be making my regular Sunday posting for CR84FN, my Monday posting for The Ribbon Reel, and my Thursday posting for DYSU, as all my cards are prepared and scheduled to post. I just hope Blogger does it's stuff!
Happy holidays all!
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline
