Creative Cowgirls Challenge #10 - Easter/Spring + Blog Hop

Sorry I haven't been around this last couple of weeks, as usual life got in the way but I'm hoping to get around to everyone next week.

This fortnight over at the Creative Cowgirls Challenge we are having a blog hop.  If you hop over to the Challenge you will find all the details and the members of the Posse who are in this  hop.  At Creative Cowgirls we try to keep the hop short as we know everyone is busy with day to day life, for this reason we keep them to approx 8 blogs, where you only need to leave a little love and then back to the Challenge to enter your Easter/Spring card.

Here is the card I made from the cute images provided by Chi Chi Memories, the set is called Happy Easter.  My daughter coloured in the flowers and bunnies and I coloured in the egg to match.  It doesn't show up very well but I have layered the egg, Happy Easter and flowers using Pin flair gel.  All the papers are scraps from my stash.  

We are being sponsored by 2 fantastic Sponsors this Challenge/Hop.  They are 

CHI CHI MEMORIES

 &

CRAFTY RIBBONS

Hop over to the Challenge, see the fantastic work of my fellow Posse members and join in the fun.

Creative Cowgirls Challenge #6 - Valentine Day Cards

This week over on the Creative Cowgirls Challenge we have the theme of Valentine Day Cards.

The Posse were lucky enough to receive an image from our sponsor Roberta at Prairie Fairy Designs.  My image was Roopid and I really enjoyed making this card I got to colour the image, cut out the circles on my Craftrobo and punch out the hearts and stickle the edges of everything.  The sentiment is mine.  All the card was from stash, dewdrops and stickles were purchased from Craft Den, small heart punches were purchased form Ideal World many years ago and the bigger hearts were embossed form my CC Ultimate board.

The sponsor this week is Prairie Fairy Designs

Roberta is giving the winner 3 images of their choice

Creative Cowgirls Challenge #5 - Turqoise and black or brown

What a fantastic response we had to our last challenge, over 100 fantastic projects entered and I would like to say a big Thank You to each and every one of the talented people who entered them.

This week our sponsor is Tellen's Place.  Terry has such cheery images in her shop and they are a delight to work with but I know she also has some images she calls 'Dark digital images' which have a more macabre feel to them.

When I received my image for this challenge I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.  I have digitally coloured it and added it to a scrapbook page.  I hope Terry won't mind I did have to add a line to the grass so I could colour it in digitally.  The photos are of my daughter and son walking in a wood called Padley Gorge (you would never have guessed by the title on the page).  It was a great day and the image reminded me of my daughter hence the colouring of the image which is not turquoise & black or brown but I did chose to use these colours as my background. 

I have used MS Publisher to design my LO and the background paper is from Tinker & Co.  The image is from Tellen's Place and make a striking addition and lift the page I think.

Here is my card (sorry it's a bit grotty but the light isn't very good).

I have used the cute image of Gillian, singing her heart out, which was provided by Roberta at Prairie Fairy.  Hop over and check out the other images there are plenty to suit every taste.

I have coloured her with purple and green Promarkers and used papers printed from a CC Cute Companions CD backed with silver mirror card.  The snowflakes were punched with my Martha Stewart punch and little green gems placed in the middle (you will have to use your imagination for this but it looks better in real life). The snow is Star Dust Stickles.
