Yippee!!! It has started.....

Hello blogging friends,
Well it has arrived...1st December  and with it a lovely 'new' challenge.

Finally after lots of preparation, we have restarted the Progressive Freebie challenge at The Outlawz, with fantastic sponsors. This will be a monthly challenge and I am sure you are all familiar with  progressive challenges, but just in case...here is how it works.
You need to join the Freebie challenge at The Outlawz. send us your email address, and  get this digi free. If you make a card and post it on the Freebie challenge site before the end of the month, you will again receive a digi free of charge the next month and so it will go as long as you enter a card.
Now that is a lovely way of collecting some gorgeous images, so hurry along and join in the fun.

The sponsor for this first challenge is Simply Betty Stamps with the image...Tangled Wednesday
The DT have all used this image to make absolutely gorgeous cards for your inspiration and we can't wait to see what lovely creations you all come up with.

 

 

Paper - Black and Pink Cardstock.

Patterned paper - Freebie in a magazine a year or more ago.

Image - All dressed up, coloured with Distress inkpads, touches of silver and glitter added.

It is spring somewhere.....

Happy Friday fellow bloggers....
Yes I am sure many are experiencing signs of spring, but here in the Southern Hemisphere, definitely Autumn...certainly lovely weather here in South Africa.
Lots of challenges are calling for spring themed cards, so I decided to use the lovely image by Anne from The Outlawz freebie challenge in my card.  If you haven't visited The Outlawz you will love this challenge. You receive to digi images, make a card with at least one in the alloted 2 weeks and then you will receive your next set of images. Anne and Sandi are amazing artists and you will love their images

For my card I used a template for a "Card with Flower closure" that I received as a free gift  from  Cards etc Shop for joining their facebook page.

The paper I used came from a pad of My Mind's Eye...Lost and found.

The digi was coloured with aquarelle pencils. and on the inside I coloured a second digi and just cut out the flowers to place on the diecut.  On the inside I used Nestabilites and Nellie Snellen dies and the sentiments were from Whiff of Joy and a local supplier. The corners on the front were a Cuttlebug die and I used ribbon and pearls from my stash.

I will enter this in a few challenges

Hooked on crafts...more than one fold

My Craft Spot..Spring scallops

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, enjoy the good weather if you are having some and take care. See you back here soon.
