Halloween Party!

I have just finished designing these halloween papers and party invitiations.

You could print out the invitations in colour.....or colour the black and white versions yourself or get the kids to colour them in before giving them to their friends!

You could make actual cards and put the invitations inside as inserts.

We have digi versions of 'Halloween Josh & Jodie' in colour and blackline to decorate the front of the cards.

I have also added sentiments with coloured backgrounds in the party invitations pack so you can cut them out with your Nesties.

There is also a blackline version of the sentiment without a background so you can print it on top of the papers if you wish.....or just onto a white background

It's Snow Much Fun!

It's Challenge 28 over at 'A Gem of a Challenge'

Mandy is the host and she has given us this fabby sketch to follow.

Pop over and take a look at all the fabulous cards made by our lovely DT girls

Here is my take on the sketch

I have used 'Andy on Sledge' which is one of the new Christmas releases

and also my new 'Corrugated Effect' Digi Papers

The sentiment is from our new 'Let It Snow' A7 sentiment set

Corrugated Effect Papers & Halloween Jodie

My latest downloadable digi paper 'Corrugated'

I love using corrugated card but it is quite expensive and difficult to find.

So I have designed this paper pack with a corregated affect.

It comes in the usual 20 colours of our 'Colour Collection' papers with the added bonus of White, Cream and natural

Halloween Jodie

Have you seen our new Halloween Jodie digi stamp?

She is just too cute for words.

Challenge 27 & A Sneak Peek!

It's another challenge day over at A Gem of a Challenge .

Lovely DT girl Jackie is again the host again and she has chosen 'White on White' for her theme.

That means everthing 'White' except for the image.

Some of the DT girls have used the new Christmas stamps from Pink Gem Designs which will be onsale in about a week.

So why not pop over and take a look at their beautiful cards.

I have used one of the new stamps 'Chloe & Reindeer' and the sentiment is from the upcoming 'Let It Snow' A7 sentiment set which teams with the new stamps
