Berry nice indeed

Good Morning,

Wow it's the 1st July where is this year going, unfortunately I think the summer weather has forgotten about us as it's been grey & rainy for ages now. When we do see the sun we get a bit confused as to what it is lol

It's challenge time again over at the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge & it's a nice easy Anything Goes theme for this month. We have a super sponsor as Art by Miran is sponsoring us, her digi's are just gorgeous.

I have coloured up Berrylicious using copic markers, I've gone for a slightly different hair colour as I thought that normal hair colour just wouldn't look right.

I have added a little stickles to the berries but sadly it doesn't show up on the pics.

I have distressed the edges of the papers using a Tim Holtz tool. The flowers are some from my stash mixed with Wild Orchid Crafts paper flowers.

Stamp or Digi

Good Morning,

It's a rather windy day here so hopefully our fence will stay up as my hubby was out at the weekend fixing it. It is lovely where we live but as it's quite exposed with all the open farmland we do tend to get blown away when it's windy.

Ok on to today's card & it's challenge day over at Crafts Galore Encore & our them for this month is........ 

Use a Stamp or Digi

Our fab sponsor this month is

The winner will receive each of the digis used by the Design Team. As usual the winner of the digis is chosen at random, but we will also choose 5 winners on merit who each receive a badge for their blogs.

I have coloured up one of Sherri's images & you can find it Here with Copic Markers. I have tried to colour the cute puppy like my little dog as i thought they looked so similar.

I have used some papers from a discontinued paper pad that I bought from Lili of the Valley. I thought it was time to start using up some of my older stash as I am running out of room lol
