Thursday Inspiration over at Digital Delights by Louby Loo

Good morning

How are we today?  Hopefully today will be better than yesterday as I had a horrendous day at work and the weather was gloomy and misty.  Anyway enough of my whining.  It's Thursday which means I have another card to share as part of the Digital Delights team.

 
For today's card I've used Haystacks the Scarecrow which is available from the Digital Delights Store.  The image has been coloured with Copic pens. 

The background papers (Simply Fall Digital Paper Pack) and sentiment (Fall Sentiments) are also available from the Digital Delights store.  The fence is a MFT die and the leaves are a EK punch. 

Pop on over to the Digital Delights Blog to see the rest of the design team's work, there are some fabulous designs there. 

Also don't forget over at Delightful Challenges there is a brand new challenge starting and this week the theme is Happy Fall Y'all (we want to see fall themes to celebrate the season change).

Hi there

Hope your week is going well. Mine seems to be flying over so quickly - perhaps it's because I'm on holiday and don't want it to end!!

Had some crafting time last night and made this card. 

 

The super cute image is from Di Digi Downloads and is called 'Izzy's Little Bird' which I've coloured with Copic Pens.  The background papers are from Nitwits 'Pinkyswear'. 

I've embellished the card by adding small strips of lace to the corners and with a few flowers and pearls.

Happy Halloween

Hello

Since it's Halloween tomorrow I thought I would do a Halloween themed card. 

Now I don't have many Halloween images, in fact this is the only Halloween image that I own and I have to thank Lorraine Bailey for bringing it to my attention.  I first saw it on her blog (Mrs B's Blog) a few week's ago and fell in love with it - isn't it just so cute.   

The image is from Di's Digital Downloads and it's called Mummy Bear.  I've coloured the image with Copic pens.  The papers are "Can I be Frank" by Nitwits. 

I've kept the embellishments very minimal - just some ribbon and pearls from my craft stash.  The three little pumpkins are part of the paper kit.  I just re-sized them and cut them out.  The sentiment is computer generated and cut out using "Tab 1" die by Whimsy.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Di's Digi Designs Challenge : Anything Halloween
Totally Papercrafts : Challenge 140 - Spooky Halloween
Ladybug Crafts : Challenge 2 - Halloween
Cute Card Thursday : Challenge 240 - Something Scary
Moving Along With The Times : Too Cute to Spook

Thank you for visiting and for all your lovely comments - they are very much appreciated.
