February Patreon member of Krista's talent were lucky to receive "Tin Girl" and our Art Prompt Challenge this month was to use a Wizard of Oz image in a non-Wizard of Oz way.  Here is my project, a birthday card for a Dad from his daughter.


Krista has lots of tiers in Patreon that you can subscribe to.  Here is the link if you are interested.

Holley's Blog Challenge

In celebration for her 9th year of successful brain surgery, Holley Tondre Barnhart is running a challenge in February on her blog with the help of Sandra Caldwell discounting three of her images.  The first one I have chosen to do is 2427 Party Panda.


For this card I have used a Birthday embossing folder and the leaves rectangle behind the image is actually cardstock covered in leaf washi tape.

Tiddly Inks Blog Challenge #222 - ATC Fun

Ericraft Stamps - "Selfie"

Ericraft Stamps has a new release stamp in the shop called "Selfie".  As I am now into trying to organise my life with a planner, I decided to make little reminders to pay our phone bill.  I have a Happy Planner Classic planner and decided to make them big enough to fit in the weekly pages rectangles and with a little repositionable adhesive I can move them from month to month.



This stamp is at a special price while it is a new release, so don't miss out.  If you would like to keep up to date with Erica's new releases, please join our Facebook Group.

SheepSki Designs February 2019 Blog Challenge "All you Need is Love"


For the inspiration for our February 2019 Blog Challenge theme "All you need is Love",  I chose Little Heart.

This image has been very popular with our team, along with Ready for Christmas.

I also added to the card Flutterby, an earlier image from Andrea.  I came up with the sentiment myself, thinking this would be a nice card for a small boy to give to his Mum for Valentine's Day or anytime for that matter.  I used some washi tape, a bit hard to see in the photo because it is a shiny gold and black.  I also added a small Aussie business, Charms Creations.

I hope you enjoyed my inspiration for "All you Need is Love" and be sure to join in on our Blog Challenge in February.
