The Beach is the Answer

This fortnight's Anything Goes Challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends is sponsored by Pattie's Creations.  

I wish I could swap places with this gnome - it is cold and gloomy here today.

I have used an image by Pattie's Creations called Hibiscus The Tropical Gnome.

I also used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I inked the cloudy background using Distress Oxides.  The sentiment is from Ginger's House.

Always Beside You

 Midway Inspiration for the April Challenge at Path of Positivity.  The optional twist for April is The Power of Words: Love/Relationships.

The first image is the wedding, the second is leaving for Honeymoon and the third on the honeymoon.


I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  I used images by From The Heart Stamps, Nutcrafters, and Scrap Happy Paper Crafter.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added one of the quotes for the April Challenge and some resin flower stickers.

Candy Cane Hugs and Christmas Kisses

This post is a couple of days late as I have been mostly off the computer for the past week.

Anyway, this is my inspiration card for the midway of the April Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas.  The optional twist is Christmas Candy - and I've loaded my card with candy canes!

I have used a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  Mine came out more blue rather than the teal from the 12 Months of Christmas posts.  My printer seems to have a mind of it's own when printing some colours.  I also used an image that I'm not sure of the source of and a sentiment by From The Heart Stamps.  Colouring is with copic markers.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved

 Path of Positivity Challenge is back after a couple of months intermission.   The theme this month is Power of Words: Love/Relationships.  There are a series of quotes that the Design Team used for their projects.  I have used the quote by George Sand: There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved

I also used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  The images are from A Day For Daisies, PaperCrafting World and I'm not certain of the source of the bottom one.  I also added some heart stickers.
