FACEBOOK HAS SUSPENDED MY ACCOUNT:(

Please be aware that my account with FB has been suspended due to claims that I am not who I say I am.  I am trying to resolve this issue - I AM Hippieaud Ernst, that is how everyone in the craft world knows me.  Hopefully this will be sorted by the time I get up from my sleep.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

GIRL’S BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE AT THE PAPER SHELTER

Happy Wednesday, it's time for a New Challenge at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.   If you are unfamiliar with The Paper Shelter Shop, I suggest that you go pay a visit, they have so many awesome images and they come with digi papers, backgrounds, etc.  Plus, there's a customer rewards program that is awesome.   Trust me, you will love it!!

We also have a weekly challenge, with each DT team rotating weeks, so this week it is Team B hosting the challenge.  Challenge rules can be found here and our New Challenge can be found at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's challenge is

GIRL’S BIRTHDAY!

 

Our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro, owners of The Paper Shelter, and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30 to spend at The Paper Shelter Shop - you win this prize if you have used one of their products on your card, this could be an Image, Backing Paper or Printable.  If you do not use one of their products for your creation, they will give you a prize of 3 digi images of your own choice from The Paper Shelter Shop - wow, you can't beat that!  Please don't forget if you wish to enter several times that we limit this to 3 entries and at least one of those must carry one of our The Paper Shelter Shop products.

 

For my card this week, I chose

digital image Seeking Inspiration

from The Paper Shelter Shop, I colored her with Copics and cut out using the Print and Cut feature on my Cameo.

This image is amazing and such fun to color!   I added a wooden floor that I drew in to ground the image.  I created a little box and a card that goes around and on top of the box.  I added a sentiment from Your Next Stamp to the easel in the image.  I hope you like how it looks.

 

 

When you open the card, the inside is the “Happy Birthday” song – lyrics and music.

 

 

When you pull out the drawer, it reveals the inside of the box.  Since the image is of an artist, I thought it would be cute to put Twinkling H20s paints or some other little containers of paint inside for the gift.  I also added brads from We R Memory Keepers and ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon to the drawer.  My design paper is from Echo Park.

 

 

I sure hope you like it and will come play along!!  Hugs

I love the versatility of the Work and Play bundles from Polkadoodles shop because they have both female and male characters, which makes it so much easier to construct a masculine creation.  This time I chose Work and Play 12 Big Kahuna Download Collection for my card.  My image, papers and embellies are from this set, my sentiment and backing are from one of the design sheet elements, also found in Work and Play 12 Big Kahuna Download Collection. 

My image is colored with Copics and cut out with Cameo using cut and print.  My embellies are also cut with Cameo.  I used SU punches and twine from my stash to attach the embellies so they spin inside the cut out shapes.  Sentiment also cut with Cameo – I changed the background color on the sentiment frame using GIMP.  I mounted it on one of the pieces cut out with the die.  Fun fact about this card is that I didn’t use any tape on this card, only dimensional dots.  Sure hope you like it!
