Another card to share...

Here is another Birthday card I'd like to share with you... hope you like it...

The stamp is a gorgeous one from a local company, Great Impressions.  First time I am showcasing it, even though I have stamped and coloured it ages ago...

Used some dimension glaze to make some bits and pieces pop.  Thanks for joining me today. Enjoy the rest of your week, hugs Sharon x

Teddy Stampers-DT

Hello and a huge welcome... not only is it Friday and the start of yet another weekend, but it's challenge time at Teddy Stampers.  We are really thrilled that so many of you popped around to play with us this past fortnight... we definitely want to see you again!

Our new challenge this fortnight should appeal to everyone... you can really go wild, as it's Anything Goes !

I've decided to produce a Birthday Card to add to my personal stash.  I am introducing a new Teddy I came across whilst browsing in blogland.  She is called Teddy Bea.  You can find her at the Teddy Bo.com website.  She's a creation of Fairy D and if you are not aware of this site, then you are really missing something.  I notice that Fairy D has added some new images for you to play with, so pop on over and pay them a visit.

Isn't she ADORE-ABLE !!!  I fell in love with her the minute I saw her and just had to have her.  Hope you feel the same.  I have had this gorgeous piece of DP in my cupboard for absolutely ages and have finally got to use it.  The sentiment is a local one and I really love it.  Decided I must start using some of my paper flowers which I've had for ages as well. The beautiful dew drop in the centre of the flower on bottom right is from Andrea's shop over at Annabelle Stamps in Oz.  Pop around and pay her a visit, she has a variety of colours for you to choosen from.

Our sponsor over at Teddy Stampers is Ellephantastic, so please join in the fun so that you can win a prize from them. 

Challenges:  I haven't entered a challenge for quite a while now but will be entering this one in the Teddy Bo Challenge.  There are so many beautiful entries.  Wow, I am really blown away by the wonderful talented crafters out there.

That's it friends, enjoy your weekend.  Thanks so much for popping by.  I hope you get some crafting done (I need to catch up on some DT cards) and I'll catch up with you again soon.  ~ Sharon

p.s.  I will be back later in the day with the winner of my Blog Candy, so watch this space!  Thanks to those who joined in the fun... I can't wait to see who the Gift Certificate is going to!

Have a Sunshine Day

Hello bloggers... I am so frustrated with myself... I was convinced that one of my DT cards had to have 2 ribbons on it and so I spent Sunday evening making this card... then when I went to upload it to the challenge group, I notice that I had it wrong....urghhhhh!  Feels like such a waste of time... I hate that, as time is so precious you know, for a working gal!

Well... I need to showcase it or else it will just gather dust...  Hope you like it...

The stamp is one of Elisabeth Bell's and the sentiment is from our local company, Great Impressions.

Thanks for popping by and for leaving a comment. hugs Sharon

Happy New Year

Woohooo.... Firstly, a very HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!!!   Sadly, the owners of the PTT Challenge Blog where I was invited to serve on their DT have decided, for personal reasons, to discontinue the challenge blog for now.  I was really looking forward to this new post and had already worked through a few of the challenges, that is why you are seeing so many Birthday Cards... Oh well, I am sure there will be other DT posts coming up soon, so I'll just keep my eyes and ears open...

I purchased this beautiful Birthday Stamp from my stamping friend, Debbie Harris.  I fell in love with it when I saw it and decided just to use my Chalk to give it a bit of colour.  The papers are from MME.  Pearls and ribbon from my stash and the white flower was a gift from another friend, Amelia.  I just love the way this card came out and will keep it for myself as part of my birthday card supply for the year.

Here's another side view to give you a peek of the inside of the card...

And finally, here's the inside of the card...

I made the flowers myself, using various sized flower punches and of course the gorgeous border punch too.

Thanks for popping around to pay me a visit, I so enjoy reading your comments.  Wishing you a super day with your loved ones... hugs Sharon
