Delphine

Good Afternoon,

Well I said I would post this yesterday 

but you know how it is time just runs away with you.

I am follower of the Make It Crafty FB page 

and there was a new release out on the 1st February 

and also one of the members Delphine was celebrating her birthday.

 I love Delphine's work and you can check out her blog >here<

if you haven't come across her work before where have you been lol

 Her cards and coloring are fabulous and a real inspiration. 

Well anyways one of the new release characters is called Delphine 

and the owner of Make It Crafty Zoe said she would send the Delphine digi

 to anyone on the page but the catch was you had to make Delphine a card with the stamp.

 I couldn't wait to color her up so long story short here she is 

and I hope Delphine had a fabulous birthday :)

Gumnut flower girl

Good Evening Everyone,

 

Yes I am back with another post and wait for it ...

I will have another post scheduled for tomorrow  :) 

Well today is a great day I had my final exams for Montessori Level 6 

which if I passed all of the assignments and the exam means 

I will have the qualifications to open my own Montessori :) 

Now I am not planning on that anytime soon but it's nice to have it for the future.

So anyways today I am sharing a Bookmark that I made 

and the reason I made it is 

over at the Make It Crafty Facebook Page 

there was a challenge to create a piece of work for Australia Day 

so I went and purchased the fab gum nut flower girl from make it crafty 

and started creating :)

 This is how it turned out I am happy with most of it 

but could have spent more time on the stomach and sleeves of the dress ):

Challenge #3 Time to get peeling!!

Good Evening,

Sorry I am late with my post :( 

We have a new challenge over at Charisma Cardz 

and that is to use Peel Off Stickers :)

This was quite easy for me as I own quite a lot of peel off's 

and never seem to get round to using them 

so I broke into my stash and found a lovely sentiment one 

that I thought would be perfect to  go with the digi stamp I used. 

OH AND BY THE WAY WE ARE HOLDING A DT CALL OVER AT CHARISMA CARDZ SO MAKE SURE TO GET OVER THERE AND ENTER THE DT TEAM ARE FABULOUS AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR 4 NEW MEMBERS TO JOIN US :)

I decided to keep my card quite simple and use the image as the main focal point :)

I can't find the details of what I used to make the card and colors 

but will add this in when I find the piece of paper :(
