Di's Digi Stamps - Christmas in July Blog Challenge
Here is a card I have entered in Di's Digi Challenge. I didn't realise when I coloured this image that this card would be perfect for the Christmas in July challenge. The image I have used is "Westie Christmas", but I could not find it in the shop.

SheepSki Designs July 2024 Blog Challenge
Welcome to our July Blog Challenge #88 Anything Goes. I used the "Sunflower Border" image to make my card this month. I have used a white cardstock base and the background is a digital watercolour blue wash from my stash (ctrlARTcanc). I printed two copies of the sunflower border, one over the top of the background and one extra on white cardstock. I chose some of the sunflowers and leaves and mounted them with double sided tape. I have used pencils for colouring.
See you in the Blog challenge and good luck with your entry.

SheepSki Designs June 2024 Blog Challenge
Welcome to our June Blog Challenge #87 Anything Goes. I used "It's a Spring Thing" image to make my card this month. This digi can be found here. Its a Spring Thing Image No 282 - Etsy Australia.
My card base is white and then I matted the scene with Stampin' Up Bubble Bath A4 cardstock. I printed a Make it Crafty digi for the background which also had the sentiment on it and then placed "It's a Spring Thing over that and of course printed another copy of it so I could raise the gnome and swing on the card. I miss Make it Crafty and think of Zoe often. I am sure Andrea does too!
See you in the Blog challenge and good luck with your entry.

All Dressed Up.
The theme over at the All Dressed Up Facebook challenge is "Floral". This is my card featuring "Hedgehog Flower". I have also used a background paper from All Dressed Up Pink Papers range but maybe the papers are discontinued now, maybe Andrea or Wendy can answer that.

Di's Digis Blog Challenge
The Scraps and Stash Challenge is on at Di's Digis Blog. It's a perfect challenge for me, I have heaps of both.
I have made a Christmas card.
Scraps and Stash products - shimmer cardstock, a background printed on photo paper that I was never really happy with, and doily and blue gemstones I have probably had from when I first started Scrapping and Cardmaking. Oh, and the sentiment was from my container which holds already printed and leftover sentiments.
My image is "Carol Crew BW"

Beccy's Place April Blog Challenge
This month over at Beccy's Place the challenge is use an item that represents your neighbourhood, city, state or country.
Well, I could not go past some gorgeous Australian flowers, the Waratah. Unfortunately, again I have picked my Beccy's Place images from my computer folder but forgot to check if it is still available. I am hopeless, I need to settle down and look at that first. As I said Waratah set is retired and I have done it again. Next time I will pick from my folder and then check the shop, sorry Bec.
I have used white cardstock base and a embossed background of leaves. Then I grabbed a portion of serviette I bought from Scrapbookingncraft and covered a piece of white cardstock and put a piece of red paper behind it, a leaf die and some dried flowers to add to my waratahs coloured in pencil.

The Outlawz April Progressive Challenge
The Outlawz Progressive challenge for April gave us an image sponsored by Sandra. The image is "Simple Tulip". For this beautiful image, I decided to print a few varying the size. and colouring with pencils. I found some sentiments in my digital stash. I used a pinstripe embossing folder to make the background for the tulips. I also put a smaller tulip inside the card. I hope Sandra likes what I have done with the simple tulip.
