Dig Choosday Challenge – Week 1: Thanks!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!


Wow it’s seems like an age since I've been here and it is very nice to be back! Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas!  I don't know about you but my crafty enthusiasm and mojo took a serious knock over the festive period but hopefully I can get back into the swing of things now. Santa was very kind to me though, bless him, and brought me LOADS of crafty goodies so I really have no excuse!!

OK I'll stop the waffle as it is Choosday we have our first challenge of the year over at Digi Choosday and our theme this week is Thanks!  As usual there is a fab prize up for grabs so check out the blog for details.

For my ‘Thank You’ card I decided to use the gorgeous Dollie Daydream – Ready for Rain (love her fabulous hair, pity I couldn't do it justice) and teamed her with the stunning papers and flower elements from the Winston Deluxe Full Collection.
I digitally paper pieced the umbrella (check me!!) and made an easel card as they are still my all-time favourite card fold!  Bit difficult to photograph though!
Apologies for the slightly dodgy colouring! I haven't had a pen or pencil in my hand for over 3 weeks!! Shocking!
Ingredients:
Image: Dollie Daydream – Ready for Rain
Paper & Elements: Winston Deluxe Full Collection
Card: Neenah Solar White - Kraft
Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers & pencils
Dies: Spellbinder Grand Scalloped Circles – Tonic ‘Nesting Ovals’ – MB ‘Puffy Clouds’
Others: Gems

So I'd be 'grateful' if you'd wander over to the blog to see the incredible inspiration created by my amazingly talented teamies and join in with this fab challenge! And don't forget to check out Nikky’s fab designs in the shop!  There’s a wonderful new release to tempt you too!! J

Thanks so much for looking and have a great day!
See ya!


Colourful hugs
Jane xxx
