The Paper Shelter Blog Hop 9th Birthday Celebration

Morning -Today is the start of The Paper Shelter Blog Hop to celebrate it's 9th Birthday on December 8th. It will be a two week challenge and everyone is taking part.

The Hop  is our way of inviting you to join celebrating with us so we have a BIRTHDAY / CELEBRATION theme, which gives you loads of scope to play with. 

Now you should have landed here from Patty Sue's blog - if not they you will want to head on back to make sure you don't miss out any of the design teams fabulous creations showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter. 

Also each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commentator a digi of their choice as well as the main prize, details of which are on the main The Paper Shelter Blog Hop. 

For my card I have used an image called Follow the stars  and teamed it with some star background paper and a round card base. I have added a chipboard star and snowflake boarder which I added some stickles and gems too.  

So now you have visited my blog - you need to hop on over to Lena's Blog. 

Don't forget to leave your comment for a chance of winning your choice of one of the fab digi's available in the store. 

Good luck and I hope you are enjoying the hop so far.

Birthday Bot celebrates

Morning - for todays Dr Digi card I have used an image called Birthday Bot. The picture is not so great as I took it late last night and I still don't have a craft room and probably won't have for some time yet!
It's the Husbands birthday next weekend and he says he doesn't need anything or want anything as we have spent lots of money lately with all the renovations but is it acceptable to not buy a single gift??? Let me know your thoughts as I still think I should get something!!
Right all for now,
Have a lovely day, Liz (:(|)x

Alistair the Alligator

Good .... Afternoon (Blimey where has this morning gone??!)

Todays Dr Digi card is using Alistair the Alligator. 
I've never coloured him up before and wanted to practice doing texture on his skin (Do Alligators have skin??) Anyways - I coloured him and them once the shading was added - I used white pen and the colourless blender pen to try and make him look a little "bumpy". I think it turned out ok although it maybe doesn't show as well on the photo as it does in real life.

The background paper is from My Favourite things Plaid Patterned Merry & Bright. The little flag greeting I cut from white card and stamped with Paper Smooches greeting. The three little green pearls are from Doodlebug.

I used these promarkers to colour Alistair -
Leaf green, Charteuse, Grass, Lush Green & Forest Green
Summer Sun, Gold, Orange 
His eyes are Cloud Blue
His claws were done with Cool Grey 1, 4 & 5

Right off to try and make this Sunday afternoon a little more productive than Sunday Morning (But relaxing and being lazy is what Suandays are for right?? )
