Scene It Sunday #204 Featuring Animal Shelf from Di's Digi Stamps

Good Morning and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday post. Not sure if this really counts as a scene, but I'm going with it anyway! I needed to make a baby card for a work colleague who has not yet announced the gender of the baby, so I went with a neutral colour palette and opted for toys rather than a baby image. A very simple one this time, simply because I don't have many (if any) baby themed die cuts to add to it!)

Ink 'n' Splatter New Release Post Featuring Jolly Penguins

Good afternoon and welcome to my DT post for the new releases from Ink 'n' Splatter. This month's new stamp set is just adorable and perfect for all those wintery Christmas cards. I'm not a great fan of traditional red, green and gold and when Dina shared these papers with the DT I instantly fell in love with the patterns and the colours. 

And a little side view...

And a close up view...

The Paper Shelter Challenge #616 - Make It Sparkle

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is to make it sparkle in honour of Bonfire Night here on November 5th in the UK. For those of you not familiar with this celebration, it is an odd one to say the least. 

Basically we have a bonfire traditionally burning a guy on the top to represent Guy Fawkes, who was caught trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament with the Gunpowder Plot hundreds of years ago. People also set off lots of fireworks along side it too. In my house we don't have our own fireworks as the local Italian Community centre always has an amazing display which we can view from the warmth and comfort of our own home! 

Anyway, for my card this time, I have used the gorgeous Lunar Dreamer and added lots of glitter card die cuts as well as some glitter ribbon. I also added some clear sparkle gelly roll pen to her dress and as stars, but that hasn't shown up very well in the photo!

Scene It Sunday #203 Featuring Sweet Spiders from Lawn Fawn

Good morning and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday post. This week, I have these super cute, but creepy spiders, gathering their treats for Hallowe'en!
