Thank You Honey

Good Morning
This is a digi from Sew Many Cards, one of the digis at Crafter's Digital Art Centre's Progressive Challenge and is is called Bailey with honeybee. I've coloured it with aquarrelles. I did some distressing with chalk to soften the white. Added a dry leave with some ribbon that I have recycled from a Lindt Chocolate Bunny, some rhinestones and a pin.

Colour my life

Good Morning
Today, our schools close for the summer holidays and for the festive season. Hopefully, things will slow down a bit. I have to admit that it is a bit tuff with everything that ends at the same time, not like the northern hemisphere that has spread it a bit over the year. But, enough complaining. I've made some boxes for thank-you-gifts, that I want to share with you. This one, I used a Digi my World image from the colour my life series. Thought it would fit the colour scheme from Colour Throwdown. The border frame and swirls is from Marianne's design. The sentiment in Afrikaans says: Thank you. Just added some rhinestones for a bit of glits.
Challenges I'm joining in the fun:
Sweet Sketch Wednesday # 129-33 - Sketch
Digi my World #7 - Anything goes DMW digi required
Colour Throwdown # CTD169 - Colour Challenge - Real Red, Taken with Teal, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip
Raise the Bar #85 - Thank you

Thank you

Bonnes Fêtes

Hallo
This morning when I opened my blogger dashboard I saw CAS-ual Fridays(CFC26) new sketch challenge for the week coming and just had to make another christmas card, since I still have a few to make. Most of my cards will end up in France, from there my french peel-off sentiment.
I've used turquoise brazzille cardstock, the rest is from my stash. I also did some sewing on the edge as requested by Raise the Bar challenge#81: Sew What

Hope you have a splendid creative weekend.

A Boo!-tiful Birthday

Good Morning on this chilly sunny morning.

As I saw the new challenges for the next week, my eye caught the colour combo of orange and black. Since orange is one of my favourite colours, in all its shades and I have this adorable digi, Bailey in witch hat from Sew Many Digital Cards - one of the digis for the 4th round at CDAC Progressive Challenge, with the theme of halloween/mystical. I had this urge to create a card. Though, as mentioned before, in South Africa we do not celebrate halloween, I used it to make a birthday card. All the papers and ribbons are bits and pieces from my stash. Found this lost silver button in my drawer of buttons and added it with a silver thread. The sentiment is digital porduced. The diecuts is one from Nellie Snellen.
I'm joining in the fun in the following challenge, with some very interesting prizes:
CDAC progressive challenge, cdacpc4 smc - round 4, halloween/mystical
Paper Pretties PWC174 - Sketch
CCEE Stampers CCEE1140 - Favourite colour combo with a half a circle

Hope you have some sun in your day.
Thank you for visiting.

It's cool to be.....

Good day

A friend of ours is celebrating her big 50 soon. I had this tag with sentiment for quite a while now and I could not resist the owl digi from Marlene. I found it very cute. I've used Midnight Madness sketch for the layout. The paper is from Wilson & Maclagan and I added some leaves that I punched out. The birthday sentiment is from Annette, although I altered it a bit with some punched out numbers.
I'm entering the following challenges:
Midnight Madness #122(mmsc122) - Sketch
CCEE stampers # 1138 - Add a bird
Raise the bar # 76 - Things with wings

Have a fabulous day!

Autumn Fairiy

Good Afternoon on this windy Monday.

I had a weekend without internet, but tried to play around a bit. So with some deadlines I might be a second or two too late.
Nevertheless, here is my card. Since it is autumn in the northern hemisphere, there are quite a few challenge blocks with the autumn theme. I've used one of the CDAC digis, designed by Gurukitty, provided for the 3rd round of the Progressive Challenge. I've coloured it with aquarelles. The paper is from my stash and I used my Carl leave punch for the leaves, finished it of with some brads.

I'm entering the following challenge blogs:

CDAC Progressive Challenge #3 - Autumn fay Digi

Midnight Madness Sketch #121 MMSC121 - Sketch

Just us Girls # 102 - Colour scheme - Aqua, pumpkin, kiwi

Raise the Bar # 75 - "Leave" Summer
