Be my Valentine -challenge at The Paper Shelter

Good morning all

Click HERE for my Happy Candy

It's Wednesday again and time for team A at

The Paper Shelter

to challenge you again

This week our  theme is 

Be my Valentine

There are so many lovely valentine images to choose from at The Paper Shelter shop, some cute and cuddly, some beautiful and romantic - I was having a real struggle trying to decide what to use for this challenge - then Veronica sent out this gorgeous image 

The Fairy and theWizard and the matching digipaper available HERE

Isn't it just such a lovely image.  now I have to confess I'm not totally happy with this photo  - for one thing the card looks black but its a lovely dark brown and tones beautifully with that ribbon. I think you can see the sparkle but the colours are also  a bit muted - hey ho, I suppose it's the light at this time of year but it's much prettier IRL.


As always there is a fabulous prize on offer from Veronica and Pedro at the Paper Shelter

This is what I did....

Are you ready to monkey around - in a colourful way!

Good morning all

Sorry I'm a bit late this morning - I had left my post in draft by mistake so it didn't publish - anyway...

it's the first challenge of the new year at 

Moving Along with the Times

and our lovely Carol is hosting this week

She has chosen a picture/colour inspiration for us

I decided to go with the colours - I was going to use flowers and leaves as well but went with a ribbon instead - now I'm thinking I would have liked the flowers version better - hmm if you can't please yourself there's not much chance of anything is there - I might refurbish it - I'll let you know!!!

(by the way - the satin ribbon and pearl embellie is not as wonky as it looks here - rubbish photo skills lol)

I thought I'd use this cute image from The Paper Shelter - it's a bit different from anything that's around just now - quite new, and very cute

Called Monkeys! it is available here in The Paper Shelter shop

This is what I did......

Image - Monkeys! from The Paper Shelter
