All you Need is Love at A Gem of a Challenge

Good Morning to you all my wonderful crafty friends. 

I hope you are all well and having a good weekend.

I have 3 cards to share today so I am going to try and space them out a bit and get straight on with my first card.

Today is the start of a new A Gem of a Challenge

For the next 2 weeks our theme is 

All you need is love 

The prize for the winner is 2 Individual Digi images

(NO SETS, PERSONALISED WATERMARK'S OR SENTIMENT SETS) 

of the winners choice from PINKGEM DESIGNS.....

I have used Pink Gem's adorable Love Owls and made a card using a layout similar to the Christmas Owls version that I made last year.

I decided to have a change from the traditional red hearts and printed out some fabulous Pink Gem Digi Papers available here in blue and brown.  This card is for my wonderful hubby, I don't think he has time to look at my blog so hopefully I am safe to show it.

Items Used:

Digi Stamp - Pink Gem Designs Love Owls coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers

Papers - Pink Gem Designs Mini Hearts Digi Papers

XCut Corner Rounder Punch

La La Lands Heart Border (cut up)

Penny Black Heart String Die

If you take a look at A Gem of a Challenge, you will see the wonderful creations made by the rest of  'The Gems' team and see who were the winners of the last challenge.

I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:

I ♥ Promarkers - Love is in the Air

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Brown Sugar - Feathers

Hanna and Friends - Hearts

Natalie and Amy - Love is all Around

Thank you for taking the time to stop and look at my first card of the day, I really do appreciate it and love to read any comments you may with to make.

Bye for now

Christmas Shadow Box - Dies to Die for DT card

Hello again Everyone.
 I hope you are having a good weekend.

I'm pleased to be back today to show you what I have made using some wonderful goodies from
Dies to Die For

I have had great fun making a Shadow Box card with the amazing La La Lands Shadow Box Kit.
I was so impressed by this kit. You get everything you need, including the frames, holly leaves and the background trees with layers. It's made from high quality paperboard and was very easy to assemble.
It's a natural light wood colour which I really like but it would be easy to paint up if you wanted to.
I have placed sweet Marci with Christmas Ornament inside the box, the sentiment I used came with the stamp and fit perfectly onto the oval provided with the kit.
