Hedgehog Love

I'm not sure how I managed it, but I have created 1 card that fits 3 challenges.  I don't think I have done that before (I occasionally manage 1 card for 2 challenges!).

Ok, I chose the image of the two hedgehogs for the Sweet Stampin' Challenge ("Something Nature related with some Bugs, Bees or Ladybirds on your creation") as it included a snail - which I hope will count as a 'bug'.

I then realised that it would also fit the Little Claire Design Challenge for this month (Romance) after all what can be more romantic than 2 hedgehogs in love????  To top it of the image is a digital version of a Little Claire Designs stamp :-)

To complete my hat-trick I decided that I could use the Sketch from the I Love ProMarkers challenge to mount the image (coloured in using my trusty ProMarkers, of course).

An A5 card created using Pearlescent Card finished on with a couple bits of Candi

Book of Me Pages

Something I started a number of years ago was a 'Book of Me' featuring Scrapbook layouts about me as a person and DH & I as a couple.

I had not added any pages to this album for a while, however I had decided that I wanted to scrap something that happened before we were even engaged.  At the same time that I was thinking about how to scrap this topic I was scratching my head about what embellishments to use on the page. 

Then Little Claire Designs issued their Blog Challenge for January... Anything but a Card...  After looking though both my digi & clear stamps I had made a decision.

The reason for all of this head scratching about the embellishments is this... DH & I were unwrapping fridge magnets from their bubble wrap packaging to put them on sale, I told DH "I'll Unbubble 'em & you hang 'em up".  I should say at this point that DH & I share a sometimes silly sense of humour, this conversation got sillier & sillier until we had created a place called Usngus (otherwise know as Us 'n Gus).  Before too long we had created a Map of Usngus... this map was what I wanted to scrap!!

I know it is a bit of a long story, but just in case you were unable to read the journalling on the photo, I though I would explain all here.  

Right hand layout

This pair of owls was from Little Claire Designs & coloured with my ProMarkers

In the Top 3

As I was playing catch up looking at Blog Posts over the weekend I was amazed to find that I was mentioned on the Little Claire Monthly Challenge Post...

I was in the Top Three... how amazing is that!!!!!!!!

Last month I uploaded 3 photos of cards I had made for their Christmas Challenge.  One of them was 'Flower Power' featuring a Little Claire digi stamp.

I am now off to ge the 'Blinkie from the Little Claire site and add it to my Blog.

What a great start to the week :)

Flower Power

This is the third of 3 entries for the Little Claire Monthly Challenge - the topic for this month is 'Christmas Creations'

This card was also created using Little Claire's Digi stamps, coloured by... yes you guessed it - ProMarkers :)

This time matted on some paper & ribbon.  With a black 'Happy Christmas' sentiment to finish.

Christmas Stocking

This is the second of 3 entries for the Little Claire Monthly Challenge - the topic for this month is 'Christmas Creations'.

I used one of the Digi Stamps for this card, the image was coloured using my ProMarkers.  The sentiment is a peel-off coloured green and mounted using Pinflair Gel.

The most wonderful time of the year...

is the name of one of the Little Claire Stamps.  This card was created using the Digi version of the stamp and added to a card with a touch of gold ribbon.
