Dream Valley Challenge 16 - Buttons!

Hiya,

Back again.... I just want to say a big "Hello!" to my new followers - thankyou so much! This time I've got my DT card for Dream Valley to share with you. Our challenge this fortnight is to use buttons on your creation. We are sponsored by the fab Digi's with Attitude and this is one of their images - Valentine Tween.

Here is a close up....

I actually used this as an anniversary card to give to Paul to celebrate us being together for 7 years last week.  This will probably be the last time we celebrate this anniversary because we get married next year so we can celebrate our wedding anniversary instead!

The lovely sentiment is another one from Sentiments 4 You.

I've used:

Image - Digi's with Attitude

Sentiment - Sentiments 4 You

Promarkers

Papers - Henbury Lane

Crafts Too embossing folder

Lacey heart border punch

Nesties

Buttons and fluffy thread from stash

Challenges:

Don't forget to pop over to Dream Valley and see the gorgeous creations from the other girls - they're fab!!!

See you again soon!

Love 'n' hugs,

Dream Valley Challenge 12 - Surprise!

Hiya!

It's time for another challenge over at Dream Valley and this time we'd like you to SURPRISE us! The DT really had to put their thinking caps on for this one :-) You could have a hidden flap or gift, a pop-up surprise or think of something completely different!

We are sponsored by Digi's with Attitude and I've used their gift giving tween digi - such fun to colour! 

Inside I included a matching tag and bookmark as a surprise gift for the recipient.....

I've used Milton & Co papers, punched out the flowers and butterflies and added ribbon and pearls from my stash.....

Now I'm not going to be around much for the next week or so cos I'll be on my hols but I do hope to schedule a few posts before I go. Please forgive me for not commenting on your blogs as much as I would like!

I'm so looking forward to seeing all the Dream Valley entries when I get back. If you get a chance, please pop over and have a look at the other DT samples - there are some really fab ideas :-)

Love 'n' hugs,

Dream Valley Challenge 7 - Something Old and Something New....

Phew! What a week with our poor, old blogger, eh? Hopefully things have settled down now so we can get cracking with the new challenge at Dream Valley. This time we're looking for Something old and something new!  Who hasn't got something old and something new hidden in their stash?!?

We're being sponsored by the fabulous Digi's with Attitude who gave us some fab images to work with although this time I'm actually using Gardener Tween which is this month's freebie (my something new!) and available to download here! Those of you who are regular visitors to my blog will also know that I've recently got myself an allotment so this little lady is right up my street!

I printed the sentiment on my pc. The papers are from the first pad of paper I ever bought - Papermania's Retro Floral. Goodness knows how old they are!!!  They are definitely my something old :-) I've also had the brads and buttons for aaaages and just had to use an old piece of gardening string I'd found!

Then I decorated the inside so I could show you the rest of the sentiment.....

Hope you like! Please pop over to see the gorgeous inspiration put together by the rest of the DT.

Challenges:

Creative Inspirations - Decorate the inside of your card

PaperPlay - Celebrating Summer Anything Goes!

Moving Along with the Times - 2 "B's" (Buttons and brads)

Stamp Something - Anything Goes

Wags 'n' Whiskers - Circles (image, spotty paper and brads)

Have a fab day :-)

Love 'n' hugs,
