Celebrate with Pizza (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I normally always colour my images as my crafty friends will know but this time I used a pre-coloured image from The Paper Shelter, isn't he great? I printed him onto glossy photo paper and fussy cut around him and the pizza dough. I kept the card fairly clean and simple so the background looks more like a floor and wallpapered wall.

Back to school card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made a back to school card today using a really sweet image from The Paper Shelter. I have used her before so I've added the card below. I didn't compare or remember what I created last time and now I've found the photo I see I've almost used the same colours on her just the opposite way round, how funny! I added some turquoise rhinestones to the punched borders. I coloured her hair with my favourite Copic hair combination E21, 23, 25, 27 and 29.

Wedding Anniversary Card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My lovely brother and sister-in-law are celebrating their 10 year wedding anniversary tomorrow so I popped this little card in their letterbox today, I'm hoping they like it. They went to Venice last year so I thought this was a perfect little image for them hehe. I didn't colour this image, it's a pre-coloured image from The Paper Shelter, I just added some text boxes to write my sentiments and personalise it before printing. The water paper is from Kaisercraft.
