30th Birthday

Hi All

I wanted to share a card I have made for my sister big 30th Birthday. I wanted to do something really special so I have made a card using lots of images that relates to things that she likes. My sister and I have always have a love of any thing Disney, and she spent her birthday in Disney Land Paris so most of the card has a Disney theme.

Mickey and Minnie and the handbag border are from Cricut Micky and Friends Cartridge, and Mickey ears and the 30 font are from Mickey Font

I have used the Rabbit from Create a Critter as she loves rabbits and has a lovey 3 legged house rabbit called Poppy

The image of the girl is from Saturated Canary, Copica this is because she is a card marker

The Croc shoe shape has been made on the gypsy and the Winnie the Pooh jibbitz is stolen from my kids Crocs!!!!! (Crocs are her Fav Shoe)

The Spaniel dog  image is from Paper Nation, she has a love of Springer Spaniels

The Sister image and sentiment  is from SWALK, and was perfect finish to the card has she is not only my sister but my bestest friend.

 I would like to enter this Card into the following Challenges

die cuttin divas- Anything goes

divas by design challenge - Anything goes 

i love promarkers - Use a digi

joanna sheen challenge- Remember When (making this card made me think about all the things me and my sister did when we were kids)

Happy 30th Birthday to my Sister

First DT Post

 Morning Everyone

I am so excited (and a little nervous) this is my first DT post for my new position on the DT over on crafting when we can.

The theme this week is Fashion and Pearls and the DT were given a Digital stamp to use from the great sponsors this week Digi Doodle shop

The image is from the Fun with shoes which can be found here please check out the rest of the DT as they are showcasing the images from this collection.

I have coloured in the image with my Promarkers. The Paper is from Me to You paper pack. I have used my Tonic petal punches for the flowers and they are inked with distress inks. I found the lovely shoe punch in my stash which I have never used, I think it is a X cut. The lace, pearls and ribbon are from my stash

I so want a pair of these shoes!!!!!!!

Slider Card

Hi all

I was looking at the sketch over on Die Cutting Divas, and thought about a taking this sketch and doing a slider card. This seemed like a good idea but it took a few goes to get it right. I have used a rectangle from the gypsy wanderings and welded 2 together for the slider, kept getting the wrong size to be able to use 2ps for the slider but got there in the end.

There is a lot of mothers day challenges at the moment and because it has already been in the UK I have made this card for a super special Lady in my life my 93 year old Grandma, I have used the colour blue as it is her favorite colour
