Fab'n'Funky in the great Outdoors

A very good morning to all,

I am hostess this week over at Fab'n'Funky challebges and I have a wonderful challenge for you.

Go Outside

 Yes, we want you to go outside and let nature inspire you creation

I have created a collage of my travel photos to help get you going.

(the waterfall shot was me attempting to locate a geocache to no avail, so I settled for a photo)

I hope it gives you some ideas

Our lovely sponsor this week is 

Lacy sunshine 

The prize is 3 digi images  

I had millions of ideas but nothing seemed right, then I remembered
I have several reading-mad friends and so I decided to make one of them a bookmark.

I've kept it simple, the book should always be more than the mark. She loves nature and mythical creatures so hopefully this will be a real hit.

Please remember to stop by all our lovely ladies blogs and leave them some love.

Back soon

Multi-Paper

We have an interesting challenge for you this week over at Fab'n'Funky Challenges.

Our lovely sponsor this week is

This week we want to see
2 or more background papers

I've gone slightly pink and faded for this weeks challenge inspiration. The lovely lady you see is Lenore Muffet (you can find her here). I did consider putting her in a web but felt a nice TL die-cut frame would be sufficient.

I used pink papers that were part of a set I discovered in my loft. (I had totally forgotten they were up there) It's always nice though, finding something buried in your stash boxes. I had sent my husband up to get me some designer papers and he came back down with 3 (12x12) boxes. But back to the challenge, so I have 3 different papers all with different shades of pink with differing patterns.

I cut two butterflies, one in white card and one in grease-proof.
Coloured the card in black and to give the greaseproof one more dimension I coloured it in pink then used my clear sakura gel pen over top.

You can see in this example the edges of the paper have been inked. First I used a dusky pink ink the black ink to give it more impact.



I look forward to seeing everyones challenge entries. Remember to visit all our lovely DT ladies and leave them some love.

Back soon with more sharing

The Male Room

Hello all,

I have some exciting news....I have been invited to join the design team for "The Male Room Challenge Blog"
 I was very honoured when I was asked and almost stammered my reply. Which was an emphatic YES!

So the challenge we have this week is:

Yes, Buttons we want to see them on your project.
Here is my take on this interesting challenge:

I've used buttons for the blossom centres and the steam-punkish owls eye

I know I have several different varieties of leaves on one tree.

But that's the way I roll...

They always say variety is the spice...

I love this little guy, part machine/ part owl.

"Steampunk Owl" from Lacy Sunshine

I like the fact that it can be used for masculine or feminine cards

Unfortunately you can't really see the glitter pen I used on the grey sections, to give it a more metal/masculine look.

Please remember to drop by and leave some love for all the talented DT members.......



Back real soon with more to share
