Hello to you all. How are we all doing?

Welcome to challenge # 45 over at

My design team buddies have created some fabulous
cards, well worth taking a peek. I am sure you are
bound to find inspiration from their  work

and

A Day For Daisies

Prize $12 Gift Certificate


I have used the image Penguin Buds from A Day For Daisies
and if you can purchase is by clicking on the link HERE.

DETAILS

1. Started with a 7 x 7 card and matted with kraft card, before
adhering I have rounded the corners.

2. Next layer is paper from my stash, think its from a  collection
from Craftwork Cards.

3. The image was printed onto super smooth and coloured using
Copic, die cut with Spellbinder die Pearl Effects and then
adhered to another piece of kraft card. Using foam tape. I then
adhered to the card. Added glitter to the image background.

To complete I added the two tags to a gem brad and clued
to the card with silicone clue.

Welcome Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors.

Well here we are 5th November already, are you going to
hold any Bonfire Night parties, or going to any?. If you are
then please take care and watch those fireworks.

Also take time to consider any pets that you have and make
sure they are safely inside.

I won't be going out as I do not like fireworks and there is no
way that I could leave my little fur baby Oscar as he is
terrified once they start, so this year we have invested in one
of those Thunder Jackets that are supposed to stop them
getting stressed out. I will report back and let you know
if it was worth the money or not.

Now lets get down to business
It time again to introduce our second challenge over at



  We are a monthly challenge that will
start on the 5th of each month and end on the last day of the month.
We are a themed challenge and this month the theme is:-

All That Glitters

Here is my DT make and please visit the blog and see what my
team buddies have designed for your inspiration.  We hope  you
also come along and support us by joining in.

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x 8 card blank and matted it with
purple mirri card.

2. Next layer has been adhered with foam tape and its
backing paper from the Bebunni cd that I recently
won from a challenge over at  Cd Sunday.

3. Next layer is one of the toppers and once this was
adhered to the card, I went around the edges with
double sided tape and then added glitter to it to give
me the glitter frame.

4. I added glue to parts of the topper and also added
glitter to them.  The banner also came from the
cd and again this also has had glitter added.

To complete I added pink gems to the flowers and
the banner, larger pink gems were added to each corner.

So that's my take on  all that glitter, cannot wait to see
what you come up with.

Thanks for visiting and leaving me your comments.

Until Next Time
As Always
Take Care and  Happy Crafting.

1.Using the Docraft Digital Designer programme ( this
was my very first card designer programme, had it for
quite a few years) I first added the snowflake design 
to the top half of an 8 x8 card.

2. Next I added a dotty paper to the bottom half and
created a ribbon border to join the two together.

3. Looked through the embellishments in the programme
and came across this cute penguin and added him to
the card.  Next I added the snowflakes in the corners
and added the sentiment.

4. Printed it out onto card and adhered this to an 8 x 8
card.

5. I used glitter at the centres of each snowflake and
added Fuzzy stuff below the penguin to give the
snow effect.

DETAILS

1. Using an 8 x 8 cream card I matted it with paper
taken from the Hunky-dory Lace in Blooms paper
pack.

2. Using the Pierced Rectangle die's from Sue Wilson
I created the next layer from cream pearlescent card.

3. Same die used to cut another of the papers from
the pack and then I arranged them onto the card
at angles.  Before all the layers were adhered
to the card I took ribbon from my stash and
wrapped it around.

4. The image was coloured using Copic and again
cut with the same dies as all the frames.  I then
used Pan Pastels to go over the card to create
as softer look as if I had left it white it would
have looked to harsh.  The white dots were
created using Tonic Nuvo crystals.

To complete I created the bow and added the gem to
the centre.  White Nuvo crystals also added to
top and bottom corners.
