Saturday's Crafty Creations #8 Featuring Sweetie Spring Bunny from Digi Doodle Studios

Good morning and welcome to this week's Saturday's Crafty Creations post. Today I am sharing a DT card for Digi Doodle Studios using one of their Spring bunny releases from a few weeks ago. This adorable guy is Sweetie Spring Bunny and he comes with a couple of different sentiments as well.

The Paper Shelter Challenge #667 - Anything Goes With the Optional Twist of Tic-Tac-Toe

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This fortnight our challenge is our usual Anything Goes challenge and the optional twist this time is to use the tic-tac-toe board below. You can cross in a horizontal line, vertical line or diagonal, but if you are feeling especially inspired, why not try all 9 squares!

For my card, I used the adorable Ready For School, but thought this doesn't necessarily need to be a school themed card at all. For this one, I managed to include ribbon, pretty papers, hand-coloured image, spots or stripes (both actually) and die cuts. I just love these colours together as well.

Papers: Coastal Cabana & Basic Black both from Stampin' Up, Plaid Polka Dot Rainbow Petite Prints Papers from Doodlebug, Sweet Summer Patterned Papers from Time For Tea Designs, Other Patterned Papers from Clearly Besotted, Make It Colour Blending Card from Make It Crafty
