Daisy Days

Hi Crafters,

I've used these lovely Elisabeth Bell images from The Hobby House on two versions of this card. These pre-coloured toppers really are a time saver.

Both the square and stepper cards have a gorgeous pre-coloured topper from The Hobby House by Elisabeth Bell and I've mounted them using a Spellbinders Label Twenty Two die.

The backing papers come from the Polkadoodles Daisy Days CD-Rom, hence the title of this post and the sentiments are LOTV stamps.

The colours in this image and the papers from the CD-Rom match beautifully and you would think they were created for each other.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

The Ribbon Girl - Sept. Any Image Challenge

Crafting From The Heart - #129 ATG

Deep Ocean - #138 ATG

Bye for now,

Lorraine

'Apple Blossom'

Hi Everyone,
Well I'm fed up with the rain already, it's been non stop this morning and this afternoon hasn't been much better either. Still it has given me time to colour up this little beauty - Apple Blossom - by Elisabeth Bell. I've had her for some while and thought it was about time I used her on a card.
Here she is, sooo cute!

Strawberry Tea from The Hobby House

Hi Crafters,
Today I'm sharing a card made using one of the fabulous toppers from The Hobby House featuring Elisabeth Bell images. These sets of toppers are great for quick cards when you haven't much time for colouring...   ...and that's how it's been here these last few weeks so I've been grateful for the help they provide in creating a beautiful but fast card.

The sweet little image is one of six on the 'Strawberry Tea' topper sheet and they are all so cute. The banner paper is a sheet from the My Minds Eye pad - Summer Splash and the number 2 was cut from the pattern on the other side and covered in glamour dust. I used Spellbinders 'Captivating Squares' die for the frame, organza ribbon to match and some dark red brads.

I'm entering the following challenges:

TTCRD - Anything Goes

Brown Sugar Challenge - # 101 Anything Goes

Sister Act - # 64 Anything Goes

Creative Fingers - #42 Anything Goes

My Mum's Craft Shop - #19 Summer or Bright Colours

Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog - Summer

 

Thanks for joining me today,

See you all soon,
