THE 3 GRAND ESSENTIALS ....
{DT Project Tammy's Scrapin Corner: Challenge #63}

This week our theme for Challenge #63 at Tammy's Scrapin Corner  is PINK AND GIRLY WITH SPARKLE.  I used Rowena  from Delicious Doodles.  You can purchase her here  The sentiment is a special freebie from the amazing generous and inspirational Lisa {Decosse's Dynamite Doodles}.  
For a change its an easel card.  The design papers are from BasicGrey and FabScraps.  The butterflies and flowers have been stamped with Chiswick Acrylic Stamps.  The paper flowers are also from Chiswick.  The little bows have been in my stash for more than seven years - cant believe how time just seems evaporate in thin air.  I have used the {Doing Life} Fancy Shapes 2 template which you can find here, for the kraft coloured frame.  Rowena has been coloured with Copics.

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT
{Digi Stamps 4 Joy DS4J: GDT Project for Scrappin All Over}

DS4J is sponsoring the current challenge over at Scrappin All Over and this is my GDT Project for their the challenge.  The theme is a Colour Inspiration i.e. Pink+Green+White.  

Another Centre Stepper design and I have used two different DigiStamps4Joy Images from their new Misteri series of digis, namely:
  1. Juvenile Misteri Tribal Dancer and you can purchase her here
  2. Misteri's Mystery and you can purchase her here
All the images were coloured with Copics and the sentiment with dry chalks.  'The flower embellishments were created with 2" scalloped square punches. The sentiment is a freebie Hannelie (Desert Diva).  The pink design paper is from BasicGrey and the green design paper is from Best Creation In.  The image of the building I sourced as a free download from the internet and have posted it below for you to snag.  My design team mate from Tammy's Scrapin Corner, Pam has given us the heads up on these free building images on the net.  Thanks Pam.

So hop on over to Scrappin All Over and link your COLOUR INSPIRATION creation to their Challenge #13.







The image of the building I used is available for printing for personal use.  You can find it by going to:
http://www.freecoloringpagefun.com/buildings/highrise3.shtml.

Once again I am off to link this project up to the following challenges:

    Then I also would like to promote the wonderful and special Lisa's exciting new Challenge called The Path of Positivity. You can link up any creation which has a positive vibe to it, albeit just an inspirational sentiment or a blog post filled with inspiration.

    Lisa also regularly recognises achievements in blog land and you can hop on over to her personal blog Decosse's Dynamite Doodles, and you might just spot one or two of your own achievements being recognised.  And the best of all is that she often have sentiment freebies which she graciously shares with her readers.

     Here is Lisa's exceptional outlook:
    "It can be rather difficult at times keeping track of everyone and unfortunately I miss a lot of people but I'm only one person and do what I can to acknowledge everyone's accomplishments.  There are certain imperatives that I developed for myself and while some are slipping into more monthly than weekly I still feel that acknowledging others is a huge part of why I am here blogging.  That is why I started the showcase and the spotlight and of course then got into the congrats.  We all know how good it feels when someone recognizes our accomplishments and I want to be that person out here doing that in our corner of the blogging world.  It is incredible how much my blog has morphed from that initial idea of having a place to post cards.  However, I feel that for the first time in a rather long time, I am making a difference again. Being able to touch even just a few people or bring inspiration someone's way and know that I have done so is the only reward I need."

    Thank you once again to my wonderful Followers for leaving such inspirational comments here.  I have reached 600 Followers and my 600 Follower Celebration Give Away will be here soon.
