Back to School

Hello there peeps...hope you're all well and having a lovely weekend!

Can anyone else believe its nearly the end of August already?? Where has the summer gone?? So, its nearly time for the children to go back to school and for my Brownies to start meeting again! Although its nice to have six weeks away from Brownies, its  always lovely to see them again in September and hear what they've been up to over the summer.

Sooo....inspired by this time of year here is today's card....

 

I love this cute Sweet & Sassy digi image!

 

I've gone for a clean and simple look for this card, using different white papers and cards to create the layout. The image is coloured with my Promarkers and I've added a couple of pearls in the corner.

 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - White on white

Always Crafting - kids

Simon Says Stamp - back to school

My Sheri Crafts - back to school

Digi Doodles - use pearls

 

Pop by all the challenge blogs mentioned to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created.

 

Thanks for stopping by today,

Challenge time!

Hello campers...I love Bank Holiday weekends, don't you?? Not only do we get three lovely days away from work, but its also already Tuesday evening! Woo hoo!

Long time no see I hear you cry....yes, I have been missing from my blog and not posting as regularly as I'd like. I'm not entirely sure whats happening with time at the moment, my evenings seem fly by! Next thing you know I'll be wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! Anyway, I decided to dedicate this evening to some good old fashioned crafting!

First off here is a project I've been working on for this week's challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge....their challenge this week is really different and something that I've really enjoyed.....it's an "alter it" challenge! So, I decided to take this boring plum container.....

and turn it into this pretty stickles container!

I covered the ugly plastic container with pretty paper scraps from my paper stash, along with a cute image and som paper flowers. A vast improvement on the original container! Check out the Cupcake blog for some more fab altered projects.

I also decided to make a card.....I opted for the "back to school" theme over at Allsorts for this card, as I found the perfect image in my stash...

 I've used a selection of pink, chocolate and cream papers, including a really pretty flowery paper to compliment my image which I have coloured with my Promarkers. I have also added some paper flowers punched out of the pink paper and some bronze stickles for a little sparkle. I'd also like to enter this card into the "anything goes" challenge over at Passion for Promarkers this week.

Don't forget to pop by both blogs to see all the gorgeous DT cards.

This card would also be perfect for our colour combo challenge over at Sweet Stampin this week....we want to see your cards featuring chocolate, pink and cream. Pop  over to our blog to see Team Fi's gorgeous creations.

Thanks for popping by today, its great to read all your encouraging comments. I hope to see you again soon.
