The Paper Shelter Challenge #626 - With Love

Good morning and welcome to my Dt post for this week's challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is carrying on with the theme of love after Valentine's last week and is...With Love. Your card or project does not have to be a Valentine's one (but can be of course!), but a card that says or shows love somewhere!

For my card I used the gorgeous Mermaid's Melody image with the perfect sentiment! I added a few seaweed and coral die cuts to some "sand" and added a bubbly background paper for my sea. I love how this one came out.

Something Else on Saturday #187 Featuring The Littles Winter Collection Snow Fight from Stamping Bella

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. Today's card was one of my final Christmas card makes. I just had to use this cute Stamping Bella image after hearing the sad news about Emily from Stamping Bella. My condolences go out to all her family and friends. Her images have always been adorable and I have so many of them, including several of her earlier ones on the unmounted red rubber, which I will have to pull out and stamp up again.

Here is today's card featuring these adorable cuties. I made this one for my boyfriend's Christmas card as he always moans that I never make him one. He always sees what I make so I can never surprise him with a card, but managed to sneak this one past him!

Scene It Sunday #124 featuring Sweet Holiday Penguins from My Favorite Things

Good morning and Happy Sunday! I can't believe we are a week away from Christmas day and I'm not 100% ready yet. Are you all done? I have all my presents bought, just need to finish wrapping them and then have to deliver them all. Need to write out the cards I will hand deliver. And then it's just the fresh food that needs buying closer to the day! 

Anyway onto today's card. This cute set has been in my stash for ages but I have never used it before. I probably bought it after Christmas one year, which is why it's never seen ink until now! These penguins are just adorable and I just loved Stacy Yakula's style of drawing cute images!

Something Else on Saturday #185 Featuring Selfies with Santa from My Favorite Things

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else of Saturday post. Today's card features yet another stamp set I bought last year and never got round to using! I have been fairly good this year so far and I have only bought 1 new stamp set, which I still have yet to ink up! 

This set made for a quick card once the images were all coloured in, so I just added some patterned paper to a DL sized card blank and then added a black mount to each image, popped the sentiment on the bottom and done! I love how this one came out and still have the other 3 stamps to colour up, so will probably do another one!

All Things Magical and Mythical #56 Featuring Fab-BOO-lous from My Favorite Things

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. As we are steadily approaching Hallowe'en, I have another Hallowe'en card to share with you all! Apologies if you are not a Hallowe'en fan, but I am a HUGE one, so October tends to be filled with Hallowe'en creations on my blog!

I made a bit of a boo-boo on this one! I had stamped my wreath of spiders, spiderwebs and bats and then decided to ink over the top of them with my Distress Oxides, not thinking that it would dull the wreath! Really should have embossed them, but when I stamped them all out I wasn't thinking that far ahead! I did go over the spiderwebs with my Copic Fineliner, but didn't dare risk the spiders and bats as my drawing skills suck at best! But they kind of looked ghostly, so do kind of work!
