Meljen's Designs Challenge #185 - Friends Forever

Good Morning!

 

Today, I am bringing you my Design Team Card for this week's Meljen's Challenge! This week it's Friends Forever (create a project for a friend)! You can enter the challenge and view all the fantastic design teams creations over at the blog!

 

I recently found out I am expecting a little girl! And of course my mind goes straight to all things girlie and pink! I know my little girl is going to be my best friend, forever and so I used that as my inspiration today!

 

 

 

I have chosen Simple Little Butterfly and Little Round Flowers as my Meljen's Digis! I used Kaszazz white and pink cardstocks, some leftover scraps of patterned paper (we all have loads of them lying around), pink ribbon from my leftovers stash and I stamped the background and sentiment with 2 different Stampin Up Stamps. To jazz it up a little I used ice stickles on the little swirls and dots :) I think it looks super cute and very feminine!

 

So make sure you go and enter this week for your chance to win some gorgeous Meljen's Designs Digis of your own and why not join the fun on Facebook in the Meljen's Designs Club :)

 

And don't forget Meljen's is having a 50% off sale in her shop so there has never ben a better time to get your hands on some gorgeous Meljen's Digis! Click HERE to go to the shop!

Loving Ewe ~ Love You Much!

Another craft day with my mum today and we decided to create a card to submit for more challenges. I was inspired by Meljen's latest SKETCH challenge and thought I would use her super cute sheep Loving Ewe! Not only is he super cute but a nice easy image for me to colour with Copics!

 

I'm not entirely happy with this card as it is definitely out of my comfort zone using a sketch and circles but I think it's ok!

❤ Ewe are loved so much...

Another craft day with my mum today and we decided to create another card for some challenges. I went with a Bug-a-Boo free digi of the CUTEST SHEEPIE!!!!

 

I wanted to participate in a monochromatic challenge which is always a little challenging but I really love the end result! Pink is one of my favourite colours!

 

I also played a TIC-TAC-TOE challenge which is always a bit of fun! I used glitter (glittered ribbon and on his wings), ribbon and pearls!

 

I have used Stamin Up DSP and Copic Markers for the colouring along with lots of little embellishments I had lying around!

A pink owl card for Bec's Baby Shower!

Recently, my step sister Rebecca found out she was pregnant with her fourth child! You could imagine that after having 3 boys she was soooo happy to find out she was having a GIRL!!! And I was so excited and happy for her that I cried when she broke the news to me!

Now, Bec always themese her baby rooms etc and this time she is going with pink (of course) and purple with an owl theme! I just knew I was going to have so much fun buying and creating girlie things!!!

Unfortunately, due to moving house I wasn't able to go to her Baby Shower but I wanted to get her a present and make her a special card anyway! So, I went to the craft shop and bought some gorgeous pink netting ribbon, some pretty pink cardstock and patterned paper and then went home and got out my Stampin' Up Owl Punch!

I came up with a great idea to make a card but was missing a scallop circle punch big enough to put the owl on so I went over to my mumsy's house and borrowed her Big Shot and Spellbinder Scallops! And this is what I came up with....with a little help from mum....I just kow that Bec is going to love it!!!! I'm very pleased with it myself!

And the inside...

First attempt at Challenges...

For the first time I have decided to enter a card I made into some blog challenges. It's something that mumsy does a lot and she has won a few times so I thought why not give it a go!

Recently I purchased a stash of Gorjuss Stamps and a set of Premier Prisma Colour pencils! I love love love Gorjuss stamps and really enjoy colouring and blending with my Prisma Pencils!

One of the Gorjuss stamps is called Scribble and it's a clear stamp set, she is so cute with her piggy tails and fringe, oh and not to mention her little stockings! I just love pastel colours and especially yellow and pink together which worked so well with this theme.
