The Shabby Tea Room Challenge

Good evening friends... it's a freezing cold evening in Cape Town, but then it is our Winter and I'm sitting in a nice warm lounge in front of the telly, with a lovely fleecy top.  I know some of my blogfriends in the northern hemisphere are literally melting from the heat.... Don't complain girls, it was only a few short months ago that you were cursing the cold and snow.... so hang in there... your Winter is but a few short months away...LOL

I made this cute little card and thought I'd enter it into the Shabby Team Rooms challenge.  This is the first time I'm joining this challenge blog and I don't think it'll be the last. The DT have some fabulous cards to inspire you, so pop along and check it out. The theme is "My Favourite Things" - you need to use your favourite papers and embellishments.  And guess what?  No Random.org, now that's a first!

The image was stamped by a friend a while ago and I have no idea what her name is, sorry!  Thought it was time to use some of those images that one receives as gifts from crafty friends.  The papers are a mixture, but they are my faves, as are the paper flowers made from my favourite flower punch, purchased from Paperchain, a local vendor!  The sentiment is my newest fave which I've just received from Whimsy Stamps. My other favourite embellie is the card candy in the centre of my flowers - I love them!

I am sooo looking forward to a relaxing weekend.  Hope you have a good one. Thanks for popping by today.    hugs Sharon x

Tilda with Bunch of Roses...

This is the first time I am showcasing Tilda with Bunch of Roses.  She was stamped for me by a friend and I think she is such a cutie that I will have to add her to my Wish List.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

7 Kids College Fund Challenge - April Showers/May Flowers (I've used floral paper and punched flowers)
Making it Monday Challenge - Anything Goes
Wags n Whiskers Challenge - Use a Die or Punch (I've used quite a few punches)

My Tilda is coloured with Copics. I've used a Peach and Purple coloured cardstock mounted onto a plain white card (just love this colour combo). The DP is from my range of W&M papers, purchased from Merrypak.  Love my Upikit flower punch, purchased from a local vendor, Paperchain. The card candy, another favourite was purchased from Crafty Emma's Store.  The border punch was a gift from Debbie, but is already on order as I just LOVE it!

Thanks so much for popping by, always a pleasure reading your lovely comments. hugs Sharon x
