To Cheer You..

Good morning everyone!  I am really pleased to announce that I am now part of the design team for Paper Crafting Journey!   Theirs is a bi-weekly challenge, and you will find my entries every second week.  So, for the challenge this fortnight we have a Vintage/Distressed/Shabby Chic theme....lots of choices there!

Have a look at some of the wonderful creations from the DT to jump-start your creativity, and give it a go.  Hopefully we'll be seeing your entry too!


We have two generous sponsors this week with some lovely prizes...Digital Delights and Digi Stamp 4 Joy.  This lovely image is from one of our sponsors, and can be found here.  Isn't she a sweetie...and those bright spring flowers should cheer anyone up!  I've coloured with copics and sponged with DI, after cutting her out with my new Spellbinder's die...Scalloped Labels One.

The papers are from an old Pinkpaislee collection...Queen Bee, and I've distressed the edges with my scissors and some more DI.  Even the fancy die cut matting is done with this paper, using the Joy Crafts...Lacey Square Frame die.

A pretty butterfly and a few gems add the finishing touches, and then it was ready for the mail.  Someone I know is in need of some cheer right now, and it's not just because of the weather!

Thanks for visiting, and be sure to stay warm and safe.
