Paper Sundaes #88 Anything Goes

Ooooh I love an 'Anything Goes' challenge and that is exactly what we have for you over at Paper Sundaes this week.

Our sponsor is Michelles Scrapbooking and More and I have used 'Veronica' by Mo Manning.

What could be better than a bit of retail therapy on your birthday?

Okay, birthday, retail therapy and chocolate would be better.

Ribbon and Lace

That is the challenge to you from Hooked on Craft this fortnight. 

The image, the lace doily and the flowers are all from the hookedoncraft on line store. The yellow flowers are new in stock and I just had to have them (along with a couple of others) Then I just kept going and going and couldn't stop myself with the whole yellow theme.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Stamptacular #129 Just sayin'

The Squirrel & The Fox #1 Anything Goes

Ladybug Crafts #37 Flowers

Paper Play #37 Punches and Dies

Paper Sundaes #87 Use some felt

This week at Paper Sundaes we are sponsored by Simon Says Stamps and we would like you to use felt on your project.  

I hadn't used felt before - but now - my local craft store needs to replenish their stock and I have lots of different colours of felt at my house.

I really wish that we could do a Diamond challenge next 'cause I don't have any of those either and I can always justify a craft spend.

I might just suggest that to the team and see what they think.

This image I have used is Stamping Bella - 'Florence the Flowerpot' and is available at Simon Says.

Pop on over to Paper Sundaes for some fabulous inspiration.

Don't you just love other peoples holiday snaps?

Don't answer that!

I did want to share one tranquil relaxing photo with you all and let you know that I achieved my goal.

My holiday goal that is - to read, sit, relax and eat. Although I possibly may have focused a little too much on the "eat" goal.

My partner and I stayed 8 nights in Port Douglas in Northern Queensland - a beautiful destination - with perfect weather every day.

I wasn't able to comment on anyones blog while I was away which was due to a problem I had with my Google account or it could have been the fact that the internet cafe was also an icecream shop. (I am sure it was Google tho) 

Now I am back and very relaxed so I cant wait to see what you have all been up to.

Scroll down to see the other 265 photos - Joking!!!

Challenge #86 Finishing Touches

Paper Sundaes would really like you to - Show us the INSIDE!

It nomally takes all my effort to decorate just the front of a card - so this was definitely a challenge for me.

After I stopped obsessing over my Copic colouring I opened up the card and began. I began.....colouring cause I just cant stop myself.

By placing the diecut shape down on some card and colouring around it with a light copic marker you get the negative image. Wow! Look at that! I was so excited - it is like I just invented this technique myself isn't it!!!  Doesn't take much to make me happy. (he he) and I am still enjoying my holiday in the sun. Dont you just love internet cafes - Not! 

Hop on over to Paper Sundaes because this week we are sponsored by My Favourite Things and you will see some ultra fabulous images from the rest of the team.

If all goes well I will enter this card into the following challenges:
