Crafters companion challenge



Good afternoon everybody, just a quick post today as lunch is almost ready.
The card today is for the Crafters companion challenge blog which this week asks for yellow and orange, I thought the sunflower popcorn from the Popcorn Floral cd rom was ideal. The papers were a freebie from a magazine and the ribbon is from my stash.

Have a lovely Sunday
Thanks for looking

Connected Girl.....




Morning everyone....hope everyone is dry and warm? Bedford has nearly thawed out, so we just have some small areas of slushy messy snow left.
My card today is for a new challenge on PCP, the image is from Phindy's place which has some lovely images and very reasonable too. The challenge was for 'something new and different'. So my image is new, and the paper pleating is new to me too.
I coloured the image in with promarkers and added a punched flower and charm and a stamped sentiment. The papers are from a papermania 6 x 6 pad.

Hope you like it...why dont you pop over and have a look at the challenge for yourselves.

Hugs Wendy x x x

Morning everyone, we have woken up to a little snow today, and the world comes to a stop.....its ridiculous, why can't we cope with a little adverse weather??

I love the Funky Hand cd roms, the papers are lovely, the papers and topper and alphabet are all from Very Funky Cd.
