Hi friends! Hope you are well. 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.
This is the first card that I have made since my surgery. This beautiful image is Butterfly Daisy by Conie Fong which I coloured with Copic markers. I added some grass to the image, and clear Wink of Stella to her wings for a lovely sparkle. Here is my Design Team card:

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.
Hi there, friends! Today is Wednesday and so that means a brand new challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog (#605). This week's theme is:
HOLIDAY TIME
(Christmas, Easter or any vacation activity)
I have always wanted to visit Paris but have not to date. In fact, I even have some cousins there. Perhaps one day. I can dream, right? I chose the lovely Si Belle! image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps because her cute outfit reminded me of Paris, and the image also reminded me of how romantic Paris is. Here is my Design Team slimline card.
You can find more fabulous inspiration by the other Design Team members here. And, while there, why not join our challenge? There are always some beautiful images to be won.
That's all from me today. Take care and have a wonderful day. Hugs, Lori xx

Hi friends! The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog's new challenge starts today. It's Challenge #595 and the theme this week is:
A BIT OF A GIGGLE
This theme includes something humorous or fun. I chose the latter because I have always found that buying shoes is definitely loads of fun. When I was younger and working, my favourite type of shoe were stilettos. I had them in all different colours imaginable. And, let's not forget about sandals, sneakers, flats and boots. I actually had a dedicated room for all my shoes.
When I saw this image called Mad About Shoes by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps, I had to use it. Here is my design team card:
I used Copic markers and FB Polychromos pencils to colour this fabulous image. I remember seeing a sign many years ago in one of the shoe stores with the sentiment on this card so I decided to use it.
For more inspiration by the other design team members, see here. And, while there, why not join the challenge? There are always some lovely images up for grabs.
There is a group on Facebook called The Paper Shelter Fan Group where there is even more inspiration.
Thanks so much for visiting. Have a great day. Hugs, Lori xx

Hello friends! Today, a new challenge begins on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog. This week's theme is a wonderful one:
SPRING COLOURS
Spring is my favourite season because both of my awesome sons were born in the spring. And, since spring is the season when the world revives after the cold winter months, I very much look forward to spring.
I chose the darling image called The Music Practice by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps because it reminded me of how much I enjoy listening to the little birds singing outside my window.

LET'S GET SPORTY
My Design Team card features the adorable Cute Bike image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps. As always, I used Copic markers to colour this sweet image. The background is drawn by me, and the little flower is handmade. I used some 3-D foam to raise the petals.

CLEAN & SIMPLE
I rarely make clean & simple cards because I find it a bit difficult. For this challenge, I chose the cute Coffee Break II image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps. I am a big fan of coffee, and I drink two big mugs every day. Here is my DT card:

Hi friends! The Design Team members for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog have been on their summer break for a number of weeks now and it's time to start the challenges once again. Team B's break ended last week and now it's Team A's turn (#565). The theme is:
ADD A SENTIMENT
I am showcasing the lovely Arabian Spell by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps. I generally make slimline cards but I decided to make an A-6 card this time.
I coloured the image with my Copic markers. I wanted to create a shimmer for her chiffon skirt so I added clear Wink of Stella. I also added Wink of Stella to her bracelets and jewels. Finally, I added some dimensional stickers for some shine around the card.
