Bloghop time!


Banner for the Blog Hop

We are celebrating our 4th birthday the coming two weeks over at the Paper Shelter. So please come and join us for some great prizes and some smashing inspiration on how to work with these wonderful images! It has been four years of joy being on this team. I've been here since the start with Shirley and we're still here both of us.

So if you are arriving from Vannessas blog you're right on track. This is the final stop until you swing back to the challenge blog. Well done! I know we're many on the team, but I hope you have enjoyed your time with each and every one of us.

This time you have the pleasure of seeing creations from both our parts of the team. As you will see both parts of the team for our following challenge as well. Please to leave a comment on my creation as it's your ticket to win a digi from the TPS store. The comment I like best will be the winner of this prize.

This is the order of the blog hop and your final destination is back on TPS blog where we have our normal challenge as well as a winner of a digi stamp for one winner. The theme of the challenge is "Celebrations!"

I have a card to show as well. I have used one of the new cute images called cosy winter Wishes. I couldn't decide what kind of card I was going to make, how typical is that when you can do pretty much what ever you want to? So I used an image that you can use both for Christmas and for any reason you like to. I made this into a winter birthday card. 


I have coloured with my normal Letraset markers and paired the image up with a Maja design pad called Vintage Frost Basics. Nice lovely colours that I used in my image as well. I have used tons of dies on this card; from Magnolia and from Joy! I used a heart stamped from Magnolia as well, I saw it used that way somewhere and thought it looked nice. And I needed something pink there to balance the card. The sign on the fence idea I got from the Christmas card I got from Lena here on the TPS team, Got an amazing Christmas card from her last year with this fabby idea. However my fence look a bit crocked, but it's bent a bit and then it's a bit down to the base layer. It's all in the camera lins it happens. LOL

I have used a charm, some bells, a few pink pearl swirls from Prima and tons of stickles in the colour of picked fence. Flowers are from WOC and from I am Roses. A piece of  corrugated cardboard is also used on the card. 

Well, both me and Philip is unwell again so I finsh this post here. I hope that you will join us over at the Paper Shelter this time for our celebrations and you will find all the info you need about the blog hop over there as well. 

Love n hugs

Marie
