DDC#5 Don't Be a Square, Be a Triangle

This week's challenge over at DDC is aptly titled Don't be a Square, Be a Triangle. You have to make a Triangle shaped card or Box for the Challenge. I enjoyed this one, a bit different from the norm and it gave me an excuse to use the lovely new digital image and backing flowers and sheets from Fred She Said. Which I must say I have to Thank Kath at CB for, she kindly let me know where she got hers from and steered me in the right direction.

List of items used

* Digital image - Fred She Said
* Backing papers and flowers - Fred She Said
* Prisma pencils

House Mouse - Challenge 12 - A recipe

I thought I would have a go at the House Mouse Challenge this week, I have some lovely House Mouse stamps which over the coming weeks I'll try to show in the challenges. This weeks challenge is a recipe of Ribbon, 2x Buttons, Felt and a Scalloped edge. It's my sister's Birthday this week, the one that lives in Blackpool.

Dinky Dots - Challenge 1 Halloween - DT - take 2

I have never made any Halloween cards before and I must say I have been having fun today with the Dinky Dots Lulu and AJ Halloween downloads. They are the only Halloween images I own, I might just invest in a few more next year. So this is my second entry for the Halloween challenge, hope this is okay cause I might just do a third. This card I have done AJ and Lulu back to back, in the middle I have added a little gismo all my own so the centre is free spinning - like a disc. I wish you were able to see it , it's very tactile and all the members of my family have had a spin.
Here's my list of items used.

* Lulu and AJ download
* Sweet shoppe papers
* Ribbon from stash
