Valentine

Hello there,

It's Friday again, which means it's time for another great challenge over at the Polkadoodles Challenge blog.  This week our theme is 'Valentine Love' and we would love to see your Valentine projects.  I decided to go all contemporary for this one - here's my DT inspiration ...

I used smooth white cardstock to make an A5 sized card.  I layered a slightly smaller piece of white card onto a mat of lilac pearlised cardstock.  The 'Valentine' lettering was printed on my pc before I put the card together.  The hearts and the paper used for the die-cut border are both from the new 'Cherryblossom Lane' CD and a piece of ribbon from my stash to finish off.  A really quick 'clean and simple' card.

Don't forget to pop over to the blog to check out some more fab inspiration from my teamies and if you would like a copy of the 'Cherryblossom CD' (or any other Polkadoodles CDs) - they are all on offer at £9.99 at the Polkadoodles shop HERE.

Christmas for the Girls

Hi there everyone and Happy Halloween,

Wow! This is my fifth day in a row posting - never been done before! Lol. I am definitely liking being at home and trying not to think about next week back at work.

I have a little card to show you today, made for 'Lili's Little Fairies blog challenge' - the theme this week is to make a Christmas card for the Girls.  Well, what better reason to get all my purple stuff out then :)  Here's what I made ...

This one's a 6x6" card blank covered with some pretty lilac snowflake paper from the 'Snowman paper pack', which is mounted onto some lilac card..  I added a piece of lilac organza ribbon across the middle before adding my topper.  The stamped image is LOTV - Twinkling Star and is coloured with Lilac and Amethyst Promarkers.  I added some sparkle to the little stars and snow with a glitter gel pen. The image is mounted on a Fleur de Lys nestie cut from the same lilac card as the background mat.  I die-cut some snowflakes from a piece of scrap and added self adhesive gems/pearl to the centres and finished with a little Christmas sentiment.  A fairly simple little card, but the LOTV stamps never fail to impress every time I use them.

I would also like to enter this card into 'That Craft Place's' challenge which is 'Tic Tac Toe' and I chose the left hand side column - Gems/Sentiment/Ribbon.

Thanx for taking the time to have a peek and enjoy your day, whatever you're doing.

Hugz, Jan xx
