Happy Birthday Rock Star


I made this card for a niece's little girl's upcoming birthday.  I hope she likes this image from Paper Shelter that I chose for her birthday card.  The image is called Rock Star. and I love the image and the modern colour combo I used for the card.  

Once I had coloured the image I added some die cut glittered stars, brads and bling to add sparkle to the card. I think this card will just be perfect for a 7 year old's birthday.  

Thank you for stopping by today.   Remember my favourite quote is by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” Do something creative for yourself today.

It was the Night before Christmas


Hello crafters. Cute Card Thursday’s challenge #194 this week is Anything Goes. The image on this card is from Paper Shelter. The little girl looks so sweet sleeping under the Christmas tree. I coloured the image with my Copics, added glitter, Diamond Glaze to give the glass of milk texture and depth and bling. I layered the image over several decorative paper, vellum flourishes and doilies.

Well back to the craft room to clean up my mess.

Happy crafting!

It is Party Time Tuesday (PTT#35) Anything Goes


Paper Shelter one of the sponsors for this challenge is the creator of this cute digi called “Walk Like an Egyptian”. Anything goes is one of my favourite challenges. I used the Z fold technique for the card shape and added pink pearls and butterflies that complement the background papers to complete the card.

Have a great day everyone. Thanks for stopping by.

Paper Shelter Challenge


Paper Shelter is one of my favourite digi companies. I love their beautiful digis. They make me smile. I choose to use the “Fairy Emma” digi for this Fairy and Elves challenge from Paper Shelter along with the Tim Holtz die cut, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, EK punch, glitter and a sentiment stamp by A Muse Art Stamps.

I love it when I can go through my stash and use my scraps to create the embellishments for cards. I have a lot of scraps of paper I have saved over the years. You never know when you are going to need them.

I better head back to my craft room. Clean up is not my favourite thing to do.

Find sometime to express your creativity.

D = Dancing (Enchanted Dancing)



This card was created for an upcoming swap I have joined where the theme of the card is something that starts with "D". I immediately thought “D” is for dancing and this cute dancer I saw on the Paper Shelter’s web site called “Enchanted Dancing”.

I coloured the image with my Copics and radiant pearls. I added few more mushrooms (Stampin Up), a paper ribbon, bling, and a butterfly. I had an unmounted rubber stamp of ballet shoe that I wanted to put on the card but they were too large for the design so I got out my shrink plastic and made myself a few pairs of little ballet shoes. It had been a long time since I have used shrink plastic and I had for gotten how much fun it was to play with.

Use your imagination and create something.
