Mad About Shoes by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

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

Spring Trends by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends, and welcome to my first DT post of this year for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog (#573).  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

This week's theme is NEW BEGINNINGS.  My card features the delightful Spring Trends image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  This little lady has started her new year by purchasing some new clothes and shoes.  Perhaps I should follow suit!  LOL 

I coloured the image and the background (which I drew) with Copic markers and Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils. 

For more inspiration by the other Design Team members, please visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.   And, while you are there, why not join in the fun?  There are some fabulous prizes up for grabs.

That's all from me today.  I thank you for visiting, and I hope you have a wonderful day.  Happy crafting, Lori xx

The Paper Shelter 11th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop

Good morning, lovely crafters! Welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop, in celebration of The Paper Shelter's 11th Birthday on December 8th.  This will be a two week challenge, with both Design Teams taking part.

The theme for this special challenge is:  CELEBRATIONS

For my card, I used the darling "Shopping Girl" image.  I wanted to create something different so I found this wonderful free alarm clock image from PNG Logos which I thought would compliment the image perfectly.  

I used a combination of Copic markers and Polychromos pencils to colour this adorable image.  I cut the sentiment twice and offset it for added dimension and interest.

If you have arrived here from Julie R's blog, then you are heading in the right direction.  If not, then you will want to pop back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog because you do not want to miss out on this one.

As I mentioned, both Design Teams are participating, showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter.  Moreover, each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice, as well as the main prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.

From here, you will need to hop over to Sammy Jean's blog.  Do not forget to leave your comment for an opportunity to win your choice of one of the fabulous digis available in store.

Good luck, and I hope you have enjoyed the hop so far.  I wish you a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx
