Second time this week

Hi! Hope you have had a good day so far and are enjoying life just like it is today. I'm here to bring you a new design team card for the new Bearly Mine Challenges that goes live right now.

Today is the first day when the kids are back in school and kindergarten since before Christmas and it's very silent and strange around here. After this I thought I would sit down and do a card or two as it now has come to I have all my three design team commitments the same week. So every second week for a while now you see me three days in a row. Scary or what?

This time we have a sketchy theme for you to follow and it looks like this. A fun and lovely sketch to work with and not my normal style as I usually work with squares and rectangles on my card designs. The boss, no not Bruce Springsteen, Donna has made this for us all to work with. I really hope you will join us in this adventure. You see it in it's big and lovely glory over at the Bearly Mine Challenge blog


I have used one of the very adorable images from Sugar Nellie to work with this time and she is coloured with my Letraset family. She might have gone a little bright but I like here. I have of course used Bearly Mine Design Papers on my card and these ones are from a few different sets. I just have to remember which ones... Let me get back to you on that one. I love my brown colours and they are so suitable for this old fashinon looking images. Love them to bits!


For decorations on this card I have used a few flowers from I am Roses and Kort og Godt, some half pearls, a butterfly die from Magnolia, some golden stickles and a few leaves. So the designer papers then; they are from Floral Fantasy (the rose paper on the narrow panel), Shabby Vintage (the big one) and the small stripes is from Summer's Roses. See I got there in the end, I really need to start writing down what I use for my cards. LoL
  


Sponsors, that I know about and Donna has been working hard behind the scenes and have found tons of lovely sponsors for our future challenges.This time we have two of them the Paper Shelter who I happen to design for (and tomorrow we have a new challenge up for you) and Little Darlings Rubber stamps. The Paper Shelter is offering a $20 gift voucher as a price and Little Darlings is offering one rubber stamp as a prize for this challenge. Great right?

I really hope you will join us in our new challenge. I am so looking forward to start my design team work again after the holidays even if it now seems like they passed a little too quickly. I for sure hope you had a really lovely time with near and dear ones.

Love n hugs
Marie
