Elf in the woods

Hello,

Welcome to another Challenge over at the Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog.  As always it starts the first Saturday of the month, and as usual it lasts for about a month. I do hope that you'll join us. 

The theme of the Challenge, as always, is Fantasy, however as long as it's Fantasy pretty much anything goes. If you're not sure what we mean by that just check out the guidance in the Challenge Rules, and in the side bar on the Challenge blog. With the rename and relaunch of the Challenge Blog earlier this year there are a few changes in what we mean by Fantasy so it might be worth checking it out.

We also have a monthly optional theme now, this month it's Elves. I've chosen to create a digital card this month using the Daisy Trail Fantasy Elves Digi kit.

Happy floral birthday

Hello there,

It's the first of the month again, so it's time for a new Pearly Sparkles challenge, over at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog. Our theme this month is Floral. I've made a birthday card, which which is for a friend of mine. As it was a big birthday I wanted to make it a bit special so I made an easel card and added some flowers. I also made a box for it as it had some dimension to it. I used similar products for the box, plus a Tattered Lace sentiment die.

I also made a similar card for another friend's big birthday, but in apricot, Happy 75th birthday. 

I do hope you'll join us over at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog this month and share your makes with us.

Happy 75th birthday

Hello again,

I made a card for the Pearly Sparkles Challenge blog for August using some John Next Door products.  The card I made is Happy floral birthday which is a red colour based card, but I decided to make a  similar apricot based version, using many of the same products, for another friend with a big birthday.
