So after all that exciting news here is what I have created for this week's challenge:

 

 

  Well I went all out this week and became a little creative!! I created a door or wall hanger for one of Logan's friends' from school who is having a party this weekend! I went through all my Polka Doodles cd's looking for fairies and accessories to go with them and decided to use the new Bonbon Belles Cd disc 1 and 2. I was initially going to make a card then got a great idea to create a scene on acetate! The only thing not from the Bonbon Belle's cd is the mushrooms  (from Sundae of Seasons cd)  that I have incorporated into the garden! Parts of the garden are raised so there is some dimension, I added kindyglitz for some sparkle, rhinestones for bling, replaced the flower stems with twine as well as the banner string, then added the painted chipboard letters to personalise it. Then I just punched two holes at the top, added the heart eyelets and used some pink and gold ribbon!

 

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
* Cute Card Thursday - Things with Wings
* Pollycraft - For the Kids
* Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
* Anything Goes - In the Garden/Add some Butterflies
* Bearly Mine - Digi Days
* Craft Room - Something New (all images are new)
* Creative Craft - Not a Square
* Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes
* WhoopsiDaisy - Use More than One image'

Sneak Peek of upcoming Polka Doodles challenge!!

Well I am stuck at home at the moment with a very sick little boy (who is currently sleeping) so have been catching up with heaps of blogging and all my DT stuff.. I am a bit excited about what I have created for Polka Doodles upcoming challenge this Fri so thought I would share a sneak peek! I've used pre-coloured images (again) from the Bonbon Belle's cd and one or two images from the Sundae of Seasons cd.

So come back Fri to see the rest of my creation. But don't forget there is currently a challenge running at Polka Doodles and the theme is All Things Bright and Beautiful! You don't have to use a Polka doodle image but there are so many great cd's with hundreds of fabulous images or the digi world downloadables that you really are spoilt for choice.

See you back here on Fri!!!

I decided to ink up an image I have never used (and I have many) from Sugar Nellie called Skool Days!

I wasn't too sure what to do but I found these fab papers that I thought were perfect for the image and challenge! I coloured Skool Days in with tria markers then fussy cut her out and stuck her on some blue and red CS. The papers I used are from Basic Grey Oxford paper pad. I then stapled the papers together, added a couple of paper clips and some other sort of clip that I found in my draw! And finished it off with some buttons and twine!!!
