Challenge 59 - Love Is All Around

Hi everyone, Emma here with a new challenge and because we're now in the month of February and Valentine's Day is just around the corner ~ my challenge for you is :

LOVE IS ALL AROUND

We look forward to seeing all your projects that show some love on them and should you need any inspiration, then here's some fabulous creations that the Design Team have made.

Emma

I combined Tim Holtz Alterations Dies with Sarah's wonderful new Valentine's digi kit to make all the elements on my little gift box.

   Elaine

I used papers from the Wonderland CD and cut lots of tiny hearts out of it, I then folded each heart and placed them in the shape of a larger heart on a square canvas painted in red with Acrylic paints.

Claire C

I've used some of the gorgeous pink papers from Sarah's 'Oz' cd, they are such a lovely shade of pink. I've added a rubber stamped image and made some roses out of the same bps

Jess

I've used the new Valentine Digi Set to create this little booklet.

Jaine

I've also used the new Valentines Day digi kit to create my card.

Claireliz

I used papers from Woodland Whimsies, Wonderland & Oz to create this card.

Lisa

I have made a Valetine's card using just elements from Sarah new Valentine's Digi Kit. I have paper pieced and layered the heart topper and shrunk one of the backing papers to fit the heart.

Melly

I also used the fab new Valentine Kit to create a simple card

You can get hold of the Valentine Digi Kit used in these projects here!

You have until midnight on 12 February to enter and good luck...

Challenge 58 - All About Me!!

Hi all, my challenge for you is LISTS and YOU!

What I mean by that is it's a new year and that time where everyone seems to make resolutions to better or change themselves!

My challenge is to be kind to yourself, see what's already good about you and celebrate you!!
Create a project that shows a clebration of you!!!

I used Sarah's Teal, Pumpkin & Black inks to create this journal page:

Now check out what the rest of the fabby team have created:

Claireliz

I used papers from Sarah's Tinseltown, Oz, & Vintage Halloween collections. My favourite things are listed on journaling cards in a mini faux envelope.

Claire C

I've had a printer crisis this week but i've used some scraps of the gorgeous papers from Tinseltown to paperpiece the dress, wings and crown for the fairy on the cover of my 'All about me journal'

Jaine
I made myself a desktop calendar using the calendar pages from the Tinseltown CD.  Of course this is my page about 'Me'  - March, my birthday month.

Emma

I made a scrapbook layout, using backing paper from Sarah's Wonderland CD. This layout isn't directly all about me but it is all about my favourite actress ~ Audrey Hepburn and features one of my all time favourite quotes and definitely some words that I always live by.

Elaine

I used Oz papers and ticket for my scrapbook page about the gorgeous rare butterfly that visited my garden last year-I raise Butterflies and they are a huge part of who I am. 

Jess

I have made a memory page of our first cat Baby Blue.  I used a Postage Stamp Embellishment and Argyle Paper from the Christmas Cheer CD, and Ticket from the Oz CD.

Melly

I made an 8x8 layout using the Oz papers and pictures I printed from my wee Polaroid Pogo Zink! Made some easy bunting from the papers and added a wee quote I found online!

Lisa

I have used a selction of cream papers from Sarah's Christmas Cheer CD, but I have made a non-Christmas project. Not a card (which is unusual for me) but a wall hanging which uses all of my favourite things, techniques and styles. I also managed a little journalling around the edge of the top right panel which is out of my comfort zone but I really enjoyed.

Link up by Jan 29th :)

Claire C

After all the dull winter days, I fancied something bright and cheerful, backing paper, precoloured decoupage and sentiment all from the Woodland Whimsies CD

Melly

I made a simple card using the delish Wonderland papers for the background and with my Spellbinders to make a simple Rose. Inked all the edges with Distress Ink and added a ribbon and sentiment to finish

Jess

I've used papers and elements from the Wonderland CD to create a telescope card.

Claireliz
I used papers from Woodland Whimsies, Oz & Tinseltown to create this card

Emma

I used papers from Sarah's fab Tinseltown CD on the background of my card and then various die cuts from Spellbinders and Tim Holtz to complete the project.

Jaine
I used the cute gnome from the Woodland Whimsies 2 CD and flower stamps from the Woodland Whimsies stamp set.

(Tack means thanks in Swedish)

 Elaine

I used the woodland whimsies 2 CD for the papers and topper with some kraft card to compliment it. I handwrote the sentiment :-)

Lisa

Papers and embellishments from the Woodland Whimsies CD.
