DT call @ Funky Fairy's Shop

Hello,

At this moment Ria is looking for 3 new Design Team members to join the Funky Fairys Shop DT.

What we expect from our shop DT:

* 1 creation a week which means 4 creations in 1 month. But if you do a larger project you can make 1 creation in 2 weeks.

Every 2 weeks you get a new assignment with the papers, we would like you to work with that time.

*we have enough cardmakers on our DT so we would love to see something else then a card.

*You place a Banner with link to FFP shop on your blog.

You join challenge blogs and show off Funky Fairys Papers in the best way.

* we would love to see work that blows us of our chairs at FF headquarters.

What do you get in return:

* an assortiment of Funky Fairys downloads to work with ( papers, images you have to print yourself)

* 2 great bosses, me (Ria, the DT coordinator) and Shaz the Designer of the papers;)

This DT position is for a trail time of 3 months after the 3 months you will be a full Funky Fairy.

The DT call is open to everybody world wide.

To apply for this DT Position, pop over to Funky Fairy's Inspirational for how to apply

This DT call is open till 14 April.

Good luck

Cupcake challenge 32 monsters

I can't believe it's that time again, this week seems to have gone so quickly. It's time for the cupcake challenge again and this week Sarah set the challenge. She chose monsters, cute ones not scary ones. This will be quite a challenge for some, but we look forward to seeing what you all come up with.
I would also like to congratulate the new DT on their posts and look forward to seeing what you come up with. I will now be able to join in and hopefully win some of those loely prizes

While making my card I realised that I hadn't got any monster stamps or images so decided to havea go a drawing mine and then making them into digital images. I realy anjoyed having a play and in total design 5 monsters. This is one of them on my card and I will show you the others in future cards. I enjoyed it so much that i am thinking of making some other digital images to so keep a look out here to see what i come up with, and any idea's of images you would like to see would be gratefully appreciated.

To make this card I also used the sketch at Dutch Dare as it seemed to fit perfectly with the theme
DP. I really can't remember where i got these papers from. I know they were a download but i just can't sem to find them anywhere in my files

Egbert

A couple of Days ago I recieved these absolutely gorgeous stamps from Bearly Mine Designs and couldn't wait to ink them up and get them inked up and coloured. I also got some free matching papers with them which are just so cute. Donna makes just the most scrummy paper CD's and her husband Alan has written a great story to go with them which you can find the first 2 installments here. I can't wait for the next installment.

This card has been made with Egbert, the sketch at Charisma Cardz and the recipe at CCT.

My first easter card

My Papercraft insirations magazine popped through the letterbox today and the freebie that came with it was some flock powder. I have seen this around but never had a play with it, so jst had to have a go straight away.
I chose the sketch at A Spoonful of Sugar and the Theme of Easter at the ABC challenge for my card.

This is a very touchy feely card

book cover inspiration and some good news

First for the good news. Jo at Making-handmade-cards.com has emailed me this evening to ask me to be a guest designer for her website where she sells beautiful downloadable papers. I am so excited as I love the floral doodles papers that I have used on a few of my cards.

Now on to my card. I Have used the sketch at Papertake weekly and the Theme at Creative Belli which is a book cover inspirational picture
Not sure who the image is by as i was sent it in a RAK a long while ago.
