Pattie's Creations Challenge #68 - Red, White & Blue

This card was made for Pattie's Creations next challenge.
I enjoyed colouring this image, and was able to use Glossy
Accents on it.  Why do I mention this, because this is new
to me and I am enjoying discovering how to use it.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #67 - Mother's Day

Mother's Day will soon be upon us, and I wish all the best to all
you mothers out there.  Here, in Israel, we used to have Mother's
Day but it has turned into Family Day and is really only celebrated
in Kindergartens.

Here is the card I made for the Mother's Day challenge at
Pattie's Creations.

High Heels and Flowers - Dearie Dolls

Two posts in one day - not bad!  Here's a card I made using
a digi stamp by Mary Ellen - this is the first digi stamp I have
used drawn by this artist.  She draws very cute images, good for
all occasions and she gives away her digis. Worth visiting
her blog, 'Dearie Dolls'.

I would like to point out that the background comes from
a photograph that I took - it's a good way to make use
of photographs.  I really enjoy taking photographs in
gardens. Pity I don't have one!  In a future post I shall
show you another way to use your photographs - not
necessarily flowers.  If anyone else has ideas, let us
know. 

I am putting this card into a challenge at CDAC in the
Seasonal Challenges.

Card For An 80 Year Old Woman

I was asked to make a card for an 80 year old - always difficult
to know what type of card to make for this age group.  I did
know that the woman likes Israeli folk dancing, so I googled
and chose an image that I could also decoupage just a little.
As a 3 times a week IFD I knew the type of image I wanted.
Just received some Petaloo flowers, which I have used on this
card. Aren't they lovely?

Pattie's Creations Challenge #66 – Anything But A Card



It's already time for our next challenge at Pattie's Creations
and this is my first gift bag, which wasn't difficult to make.
I took the pattern from a CD I have.  I love the image.  I
have been meaning to grow my own herbs for years, but
I just don't get down to it.  I don't have a garden or balcony,
but I do have a railing outside my salon that I can hang
flower pots from.  

Do take part in this challenge.
