From "owl" of us...

Good morning hope you all had a great Easter and didn't over indulge on the chocolate!!!
 
It's time for another challenge over at Get Creative Challenges and our theme this month is use a tag!
Well you'd think this would be easy - which it probably would be for someone who reads the theme BEFORE starting their card!!!
 
Our sponsor this time is Lemon Shortbread and the winner gets 3 of their gorgeous images.
 
The challenge is easy to enter all you have to do is follow a few simple rules which you can find here and then add your design to the linky!
 
On to my card:
 
 
I have used Owl on a branch digistamp printed straight onto my card blank and colored of course with my Spectrum Noir markers. I have then (a change to my original plan) die cut 2 spellbinder tags from Core'dinations card and 6 adorable little owls from a new memory box die - forest Neighbors and placed these on the card.  The sentiment stamp I have used is from a Crafters Companion's  Rachel Ann Miller collection. A have then added a few pearls just to enhance the card.
 
I am entering this card into the following challenges
Crafting from the heart - Anything goes
Craft Your Passion - Anything goes
Mema Crafts - Use a diecut or punch
Not just a card - Anything goes
Through the Purple Haze - Anything Goes

Get Creative Challenge 6 - Celebrate anything new!

Good morning! We have had a full week of snow with really bad storms at the back end of last week so plenty of the white stuff all around and with low temperatures it's going to be hanging around for a while but we are so prepared for it this year!!!

Today is the start of Challenge 6 over at Get Creative Challenges and we have a fab sponsor this time round  - Its our own Angie with her very own Digi company Angie's Digi Stamps - she has some adorable characters including the one I have chosen to color for my Design Team card. To enter the challenge is very easy - just check out the rules here and follow the theme which this time round is Celebrate something new!
 
On to my creation. I have chosen to do a new baby card:
 
 
This little fellow is called Cute Bug I have colored him with my Polychromo Pencils and fussy cut him. After coloring Mollie asked why I had made him into a bee when he was a caterpillar lol - I'd just focused on his stripes!! I have used a bright orange card for matting and have die cut a scalloped circle for the sentiment using the same card. The sentiment is from a Crafter's Companion Sentimentals collection. I have used papers from Docrafts Papermania Capsule Collection to tie the colors together and a little bow for a finishing touch.
 
So come on pop by Get Creative Challenges and join our challenge you've nothing to lose and may win a fab prize!
