Enjoy the Spring by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  The Design Team members from Team A are back from their summer break and so it's time for our new weekly challenge (#607).  The theme is

BACK TO THE BOOKS

(Back to school, reading, or anything book related)

This summer has been rough for me because I had a total knee replacement on June 27.  The first two weeks were an absolute nightmare but I am now able to walk with a cane.  

One of my favourite pastimes is reading so this theme is right up my alley.  I chose the adorable Enjoy the Spring by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps which I coloured with Copic markers.

There is more wonderful inspiration by the other DT members here.  While you are there, why not join our challenge?  There are some lovely images to be won. Check this out:

The Paper Shelter also has a Facebook group.  See here.

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a lovely day, Lori xx

Cat Family Bundle by Conie Fong

Greetings friends!  Conie Fong has created an adorable feline family called Cat Family for her etsy shop.  It comes as a bundle, and you get the cat family with and without the heart.  I have already created two cards with this sweet family:  one without the heart and one with the heart.  Today, I am sharing another card without the heart.  Here is my Design Team slimline card:

Glittery and Sparkling by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Greetings friends!  April sure flew by!  Hope you are well.  Today begins a new challenge (#553) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  The theme for this week is

ADD SOME TEXTURE

I used the lovely Glittery and Sparkling image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I already created a card some time ago with this image and I coloured her hair with multiple colours.  This time, I decided to go with blonde.  For texture, I used a beautiful border die.  I also embossed the patterned paper with a crackle embossing folder but, unfortunately,  it doesn't seem to show up well.  Here is my DT card.

As always, I used Copics to colour her. I added some dimensional stickers which are the same colour as her hair.

For more amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members, please visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog. If you join in the fun, you may win some beautiful images. So, check it out!

Thanks very much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Lori xx

Daisy Bee Bundle by Conie Fong

Hello dear friends.  Spring, my favourite season, is officially here but there are no signs of spring in my neck of the woods.  In fact, there are still some piles of snow everywhere.  Slowly, but surely, the snow is melting.  Both my sons celebrate their birthday this month so April is extra special to me.

My Design Team card today features Conie Fong's adorable Daisy Bee.  What a sweet little bee!  It's available in both PNG and JPG format. And, it comes with a short stem version.

I coloured this sweetie with Copic markers and applied clear Wink of Stella to his/her wings.  

If you would like to see more inspiration by the other DT and GDT members, and anyone else who joins in the fun, head over to Conie's Facebook group. And, don't forget to visit Conie's etsy shop where you will find some truly darling and beautiful images.

That's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  Have a lovely day.  Lori xx

As always, I coloured this cute image with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.

Newton Unwinds by Newton's Nook Designs

Hi all!  I love all animals but kitties have a special place in my heart.  I rarely make a clean and simple card so I'm rather out of my comfort zone.  Here is my clean and simple card featuring the super cute "Newton Unwinds" image, found here:

https://www.newtonsnookdesigns.com/newton-unwinds/

 The border is free standing. Here is a side view:

The image is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  I was tempted to add flowers but ultimately decided against it.  The sentiment is cut twice and I offset the letters to add some interest.  Have a nice day, and stay safe.  Hugs, Lori xx

Basket of Flowers Girl by Lemon Shortbread

Hi peeps!  I love Daylight Savings Time.  It's so wonderful that the days are so long and that there's more light to enjoy the evenings.  

This card is my DT inspiration for Lemon Shortbread's current challenge: http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/  
Spring is my favourite season and so I chose the darling "Basket of Flowers Girl" image because it makes me think of spring when nature comes to life.  Flowers bloom, trees grow, birds sing, and temperatures become more temperate. So refreshing!  You can find this lovely image here:

As always, I've coloured her with a combination of Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  The gorgeous flowers are from I Am Roses:  https://www.iamroses.com/

  I applied glitter to the tiny butterfly's wings.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx
