Shabby Princess

Tuesday again?? Wow time does fly when you are having fun! Well it is time for a new challenge over at Top Tip Tuesday; this week we don't have a tutorial but each DT member will be giving their take on what Shabby Chic means to us. To me I think of Pink and Blue with loads of white. It is a clean look with a touch of romance given by florals. So I have taken my inspiration from the following picture.

And here is my card; loads of white paint, embelishments of all sorts and lots of pink and blue:0)

 Here is a closeup of Princess Shona from Digital Delights. She is so cute and it was fun to color her up; Love all that hair:0) Thanks DD for letting us play with this super cute image!

I have made this card following the Simon Says Stamp sketch; really hope you can see it; as I ended up with ambelishments galore!

I will als be entering this card in the following challenges:

Lia Stampz-Birthday

My Craft Spot -Sewing, Stitching, Faux stitching

Pollycraft -Felt

Crafty Pad -Distressing and Tearing

Tilda School Tag

Hello today I would like to share an altered item that I have been saving for a long long time. I bought a pair of Bubblegum jeans oh....about 5 years ago! Yeah I know....long time! Well it came with this really cute thick tag; I knew one day it would come in handy. So TOMIC has a challenge to recycle an item and I have chosen this. Here is a picture of the tag before:

 And this is how I have dressed it up! The tag is already pretty so I kept it very simple with just a few embellishments. This tag would be perfect for a little girls backpack; on the other side I will be putting a letter for whomever I decide this will go to.

I will be entering this project in the following challenges:

TOMIC- Recycle

Allsorts -#118 Back to School

Totally Gorjuss-  #95 As you like it

Totally Papercrafts - back to school

Just Magnolia - Bingo (Gems, Flowers, Ribbon)

Stamp Something - back to school somethings

Sunlight Feebie

I tis time for anoter Friday Freebie over at Paper Makeup Stamps. I have kept my card very simple and added some interest by adding stickles to the paper patern and also by adding the stitching. I have been doing stitching on almost all of my cards recently; and am getting better at it.

I have used the sketch over at Simon Says Stamp Challenge. I will also be entering my card in the following challenges:

Bearly Mine-Bring On The Bling

Aud Sentiments Challenge-Anything Goes

Craft Us Crazy- Anything goes in August

I have just gotten my stamps for the next release and I can tell you that they are FAB! So mark you calendars for the sneaks starting on the 4th and the HOP on the 7th. Also Remember to invite those stamping pals of yours for our September release party!  Your name will go into the prize pot for every friend that attends.  (Friends, we'll have a prize drawing for you too!)  Join the PMS forums early so you can get in on the fun and games on September 7th!

Oh and before I go; PMS is having a DT CALL for the Digi Makeover Challenge HERE!

Good Luck; Lost in Music...

I would like to share this card that I have made following the sketch for the Sugar Bowl. I have made it especially for the Header challenge on the Simply Sassy blog. I just love these Sassies and it would be oh so cool to be displayed on the header and sidebar of their blog; so wish me luck:0)

 Here is a picture of the inside top panel, the bottom one has a matching one without the sentiment. The sentiment is from Paper Makeup Stamps.

 Here is a clean picture of Lost In Music....ain't she just so adorable??? I just love her. This is another of the stamps that I won from the Simply Sassy blog hop a while back. I am determined to ink them all up and use them....so two down four to go!

I have colored her with Copics following Elaine's sample as a guide; really hope that you can see the resemblance. I am a huge fan of Elaine!

Thanks for taking a peek and really wish me luck as I know the competition is tough!

Follow Your Dreams

New challenge over at Top Tip Tuesday; for this week challenge we would like to see your Masculine Cards.

Here is my card:

TIP: My tip for this week is to add a shadow onto your image to ground it so that it does not look like it is floating in air.

 Here is a closeup of World Civics 101 from Little Darlings; I have won him on the Little Darlings Blog Hop. This was the only boy image and I was oh so lucky to have won him. They have come out with such cute images; many on my wishlist:0)

PMS NEW Challenge and DT Call!

Yep, you heard right! As you may already know, Paper Makeup Stamps offers a wonderful selection of digital images! For the past few months, and going forward, all new releases are available in the digital format. So we thought it would be fun to have a weekly challenge just using the digital images. The digital format offers so many options that are not available to users in the rubber format.

We thought it would be fun to have a weekly challenge dedicated just to digi-images. It will be the Digi Makeover Challenge! We hope to offer some ideas and occasional tutorial to help you use digi-stamps to their full potential. And, of course, there will be prizes!

The challenges will be every Monday, starting in September. So bookmark us and come back on Sept 5th for the first challenge!
Needless to say, we need a Design Team! Interested in being a Digi Makeup Artist? Here's the scoop...

•DT members will serve for a 6 month term.
•Create a card or project using a PMS digi image for each challenge
•You must have a blog
•Challenges are every Monday, so challenge photos must be uploaded to the digimakeover Yahoo group by Saturday night.
•You will be expected to comment on challenge entries.
