Our sponsor this fortnight is..........
 
 
The Paper Shelter and I have used Rapunzel here...
 
 
I created the background using acrylic paints, the image was coloured using Promarkers (and I can never seem to get the skin right).

Pause, Dream, Enjoy - Anything Goes,

Hi everyone, and welcome to the next challenge at Digitally "Sweet" Challenges. Firstly, I must thank those of you who played in our last challenge.

The theme this week is

LOST IN TIME: USE A CLOCK/WATCH IN YOUR DIGITAL CREATION.

We are being sponsored by Cedar Chest Designs this week

 
and I am using the Owl Set and the Steam Punk Parlour kit from Daisy Trail.
 
 
These are some pictures of my daughters from last summer. We were walking around the abbey in Wells and noticed some people gathered around a tent. We walked over to see what was going on and saw a display of birds. We found that you could buy an experience - holding the bird of your choice. the girls chose to hold the Barn Owl and I was so pleased with the way they behaved - the children that is!! - they were mesmerised. I chose to hold the Eagle (adults only for this one because he was so heavy). We were all smiling broadly after our experience - and I am sure we will never forget it. 
 
I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
 
Craft Us Crazy - Anything Goes,
 
DL.ART - March Linky party anything goes,
 
Paper Crafting Journey - Anything But A Card,
 
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes,

Aud Sentiments Challenge #75 Easter/Spring Sentiment


Hi everyone, it's time for some more inspiration for the current challenge at Aud Sentiments.  I hope you are enjoying this challenge which is of course...

EASTER/SPRING SENTIMENT

Our sponsor this time is Prairie Fairy Designs
 
 
I have used Just Ducky for my first card.
 
 
I have made my favourite - an easel card. The image has been coloured with Promarkers, and the glasses have been glazed and I used a sakura startdust gel pen for the rims. A few pearls artfully placed and some lovely green ribbon to finish it off.
 
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:-
 
 
The Ribbon Girls Challenge - Ribbon/Twine,
 
 
 
The Ribbon Carousel Challenge - Spring is in the air,
 
Party Time Tuesdays - Die Cuts,
 
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes,
 
 
Creative Card Crew - Ribbon, and,
 
Passion for Promarkers - Card for a lady/girl.   
 
My second card has been made using Spring Ducks...
 
 
and here it is again with a couple of interested visitors!!!
 
 
They love to lend a helping paw!
 
This was a precoloured image which I have just die cut and layered onto a paper from a Nitwits collection called Egg-stra Special. The ribbon and butterfly are from Hobby Craft and were actually bought for the children to use but I sort of borrowed some!!! I think I went overboard with the pearls but I like the effect. The butterfly is covered in crystal glitter - hope you can make it out.
 
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:-
 
 
Flutterby Wednesdays - Open but must have a butterfly or fairy,
 
Heck of a Challenge - Spring/Butterflies and pearls,
 
Dream Valley Challenge - Ribbon and bling,
 
Forever friends Challenge - Lots of flowers, and,
