Dottie's World - Pocket it!

Hello friends,
It's my turn to set the challenge at Dottie's World this week and I've asked people to make a project that has pockets. Here's what i came up with.....




the little bag was made using a K&Co die cut sheet and I simply made a tag to go into the pocket. I added a band at the back to hold money or a voucher, I'm really pleased with the result.

Dottie's World Challenge

Hi Folks!

I'm back from holiday and all refreshed, how is life treating you? Isn't it different what a difference a little sunshine can make!

I come to you this sunny Sunday with my example card for this week's Dottie's World challenge.

Gunn set the challenge this week and she wants us to use the colours Pink, Turquoise and green along with our Charmed download.

Now turquoise is always a funny one to identify, it seems to be a matter of opinion - especially for men...have you noticed that they seem to have some sort of colour blindness going on with blue turquoise and green? !!!

Well I think maybe this week the colour blindness was mine because although the colours looked right when i selected them - now i look at the photo the just don't! My husband came into my work room he looked over my shoulder and said, "What was the colour scheme you had to use? ....blue, purple and green??" Arrrgh!!!!

Ah well, less waffle and more photo......

Hmmmm, see what I mean about the colours? Ah well never mind :)

The papers are from one of my BG pads and the image is one of my earliest digi drawings and it's from the Dottie at Work collection - available from Charmed Cards and Crafts.

Have a great week!

DW Challenge

Hello Folks,
I have harldly done any crafting this week and what I DID do (this card) was fairly rushed do I'm sorry about that. The DW challenge was set by our lovely Adele, here's what she said.....

PASTELS or BRIGHTS!
Make a card or project using a Charmed Download keeping to either VERY pale pastel colours or VERY bright, bold colours. Now if of course you want to make two creations, one of each, that would be fantastic. Perhaps try two versions of the same image.

I went for brights....

It's a blast from the past, this week :)) Super Hero George from the Back 2 Front colection..look at the rear view!

So, fancy joining in? Pop over to Dotties World for some amazing inspiration.

This challenge perfectly demonstrates the versatility of digital downloads, you can have them teenie weenie or big and bold...what more could you ask for. Here's what i came up with....

You can see the scale of this from the £2 coin next to it. what fun!!!! I could get hooked on these.
