Challenge Heaven DT LO's

This month at Challenge Heaven there are some fabulous challenges to get the juices flowing, so pop on over and check them out and while you're there take a look at all the gorgeous LO's in the gallery for inspiration.


Simple Pleasures

My 1st LO is for the Ebony & Ivory Challenge. This challenge you can use Black OR White with Green and the extra Criteria: no 4 x 6 photos.

Decided to go for the fresh colours of White with Green on this one. Used some pp's from FP & BG with some painted corrugated card to frame my pics. The little owl chippie was painted with white and some picket fence crackle paint then sprayed with aqua mist and I used some old flower eyelets and pearls to jaz up his eyes. I pleated some Bazzill dot cardstock for a bit more texture and finished off with some Prima flowers, lace, pearls, twine and paint splatters.

Love You With All My Heart

The 2nd LO is for the Colour Challenge which was Red and Blue (small amounts of black and white may be used) and the extra Criteria: love heart.

Loved using the vibrant red and blue colours for this LO with some pp's from OA, GCD, Kaiser & Ruby Rock It. The heart embellie was cut from some MM pp and the flower was made with Crate Paper, a Petaloo flower and a hand made rolled flower. Finished off with a few embellies from K & Co. OMG no paint splatters!!!

So Excited!!!

I received a phone call the other night from Melissa O'Neill to tell me to go and check out the Get Picky site and was so excited to find that my LO had been chosen for their sketch challenge this month. There were so many gorgeous entries, so I was quite surprised to have mine picked. I have won a fantastic pack from Pink Paislee which I adore. Thanks so much Tanya and Nikki, you really made my week and congrats to Belinda and Jas whose gorgeous LO's were picked as standouts.

Coming Soon

I'll have a few more CT LO's to share over the next few days, as I don't want to tire you all with too much in one blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love :)
