My effort this week using one of my own Paper Shelter purchases .

card base from yellow card stock . 

I printed the precoloured scene /image to 14 cm square .

only added a small sentiment punched out with circle punch 

Adhered that to a slightly larger light blue card mat then added that to card base 

Adding some bling just to make it my work ..

For the inside I used some of the light blue card as a mat then adhered a top note die cut for message
I printed out another precoloured image , fussy cut it out and set it to the side of die cut as shown .


                  I will be looking out for your mini work of art in the challenge .

Elephant sized wish

Hello and welcome to my room .

Thanks for calling in .  I do hope that you like my card .This one I created with a new digi image I have gleaned from lisa's
https://www.facebook.com/pg/Twistoonlisa/posts/?ref=page_internal collection of fun, out of the ordinary digi images .

Firstly I printed out 3 times and cut each section out and coloured each
 I intended to create a 3D image  as a topper for my white card base .

Once I had my 3D image I  adhered it to an oval die cut which  I then added to a larger scalloped oval.I inked a banner sentiment added it to side of image panel  and then added a few embellishments .I am hoping to save this for some little one .  Must be a grandchild birthday coming up soon .

Do check out these wackey images
I am sure that there is one that will tickle your fancy .

On your special day

                    Hi there crafty pals , welcome to my room .
                         Thank you for calling in .

I have been making a kit ,today, for the new year workshops . My friends are avid experienced card makers so it is not as though I am actually teaching anything .Instead I  create  kits for them to make up while we chat , compare new purchases and   share news  about our lives  generally.


 

 

Among my card stash I found lots of SU  note cards which I mostly use as thank you cards but because I do have a lot , I am making a few small cards as birthday cards . 

With this one I have used 6''x6'' DSP from the Brights pack and covered the front

Then I added a panel   of lighter blue card with a smaller white panel for image and sentiment . 

Both the image and the sentiments are from retired SU  sets . 

Water coloured the image  using SU inks 

Just added a few candy dots for interest .

There was a good sized piece of the paper left so I used it for the inside of card with a die cut label for greeting . 

I do hope that you enjoyed my share today . I do appreciate comments if you would care to leave   one I will return the visit .

Make New Year's goals. Dig within, and discover what you would like to have happen in your life this year. This helps you do your part. It is an affirmation that you're interested in fully living life in the year to come.

Last Christmas card 2019

Hello visitors 

Welcome to my room and thank you for calling in . 

Merry Christmas to all my Family ,friends and visitors here .
May the New Year that follows
bring you all that you are hoping for .

To share today is most likely the last Christmas card for 2019

I found an unmade kit in my stash  and although it is of non traditional Christmas colours I 

Think that I can make it work .

Basic Black card base .White card stock as  inside card base 

Inside front with Pinterest found Father Christmas image fussy cut

and tree from SU set Winter Woods.

Sentiment from SU set Watercolor Christmas 

Hope that you found this unusual fold card interesting 

Now before you go , there is another card which I am keen to share .

Just had to share a beautiful card sent to me from Carmen Barnes 

Love the shadow technique with the sentiment and that gorgeous butterfly.

I appreciate it Carmen . Thanks for allowing me to share .

And now to close my post . 

The most precious gift you can give is your time .To give of your time freely , happily and generously can enrich your own life too .

Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed companionship, too. Friends can also: Increase your sense of belonging and purpose.

Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne 

PS .Did I make it work?

Birthday wishes

Hello visitors .Thank you for calling in .
Welcome to my room where I am happy to share some time with you .Still getting the blogging groove going here , trying to post on a regular basis .

I must say that I am enjoying the visits to some of my oldest fellow crafters pages ...Not that they are necessarily old in years I mean , you know but  that they have been sharing their makes for quite some time ...WHEW! I hope I got outa that one ok LOL

Adelaide ,in fact quite a large portion of Australia is , like,very hot ,sweltering in fact .Just googled  the temperature here in Adelaide and it is 43 degrees . You know , that info does not make me feel any better ...

But ,sharing my make for today will definitely raise my spirits .

This sweet card  has a SU Thick Whisper White   card base .I am using retired card Tangerine Tango and some Gingham paper from my stash as mattes for my labels and the sentiment, which is from SU  Best Bunny stamp set . The floral image is from Bloom and Grow cut with Budding Blooms dies Both SU products .
The labels once adhered together are added to card front with foam dots just so message pops a bit .
I coloured  floral spray  with SU water colour  inks  and an aqua pen .
Not one for a lot of embellishing I just added a little heart to top of label .

A challenge I will enter
