The Paper Crafting Journey Challenge....and some News!

Hiya Peeps!

We have a brand new challenge over at The Paper Crafting Journey!  For this fortnightly challenge our theme is : "Colour it up".  This means you can make any card, just as long as your image is hand coloured!!  So we are basically almost having an anything goes challenge!

This week we are sponsored by Inked Treasures which has generously offered the winner 4 Digi's of their choice.  Don't we just love our sponsors!

Here is my card:

Ok.  So let me tell you what I've been up to this week.  I bought a Xyron 9" Sticker maker.  Received it in the post today!  Jipeeeee!  Now I have this machine, and now I so do not know what to do with it.  Really, for what am I going to use this????  Only time will tell.....  DH will kill me if he knows I bought it and now do not know what I want to do with it....LOL!

And now for the NEWS:

Our wonderful Lisa Sumpter has stepped down as Blog Owner / DT Coordinator from The Paper Crafting Journey.  We want to say a huge special thank to Lisa.  She did such an outstanding job.  We started as a DT, but became a family through her.  Lisa, we love you...

I will now take over The Paper Crafting Journey!  I am super excited that Lisa entrusted me with her baby.  I will do my utmost to fill her shoes!  We will also move back to blogger - our old site.  Thank you Lisa.

That's it from me for today.

Hugs,

Wendy

Your Favourite Technique

Hi Peeps!

Our challenge over at PCJ this fortnightly challenge is : Your Favourite Technique!  Well, hmmm, how do I pick just one.  Card making in general is my favourite technique!  So I decided that a 3d paper project would be perfect.  I love making 3d projects, and I have been dying to make a shoe.  This was my second attempt though!  The first one didn't come out exactly like I had imagined, so I had a redo.  This was fun, and surprisingly it didn't take that long to make.  It took about an hour and 15 minutes, top to finish, whilst I was busy keeping the children out of daddy's hair 'cause he was watching rugby!

Here is my "project"

So come on.  Head on over to our challenge and show us your favourite technique!

Thank You for looking!

Hugs,

Wendy

Our challenge over at PCJ for the next 2 weeks is - GET WELL SOON!  We are sponsored by Meljen's Designs.  Everybody knows Mel's Stamps.  They are too gorgeous for words!  This is the Frufru Fairy!  Doesn't she look happy!  I though this will cheer me up if I feel ill.  The Sentiment on the card means... hmm.... Hope you feel better soon!

Here is a close up of the image:

Now would usually be the time that I list the Copics used to color.  But it seems I lost my little doodle note on which I wrote it down!  Nice!

Please hop on over to PCJ and join in our challenge!

Thanks for looking,

Wendy
