Our Four Legged Friends at OLL

Hello bloggy friends.
Well, it is Monday again and that means it is time for another fabulous challenge at Ooh La La Creations.  Firstly, please let me say a big thank you for all the entries that we had for the last challenge.  Please stop by the Ooh La La Challenge Blog to see who our lucky winners were.  Remember, there is no Random Org here, the Design Team take it in turns to pick their favourite and two runners up - so if you won it's because we loved your creation!!

So, onto the next challenge and this time it is:
OUR FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS
Here is the card I made for this challenge:
I have used images and DP from the folder "Stallion" on the new Yesterday's Memories CD which you can buy here.  The little pearl embellishments are from my stash and the ribbon is from the CD which I have adhered with silicone glue to give it a bit of height.

Please remember to stop by the rest of the Design Team and see their fabulous creations (links on the DT tab at the top of this page).  They have all worked really hard to offer you some inspiration, so please remember to leave them some love if you pay a visit.

Midway Reminder - Spots and Stripes

Hello folks,
Just popped in to remind you that you have about a week left to enter the current challenge over at Totally Tilda.
This time the challenge is:
SPOTS AND STRIPES
We would like to see spots AND stripes on your projects this fortnight.
Easy right???
And don't forget we are sponsored by:
The pretty little ribbon
So why not pop along to The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and have a look at the goodies they've got.
**********
So here is my Midway creation for you:
(Sorry the piccie is a bit wonky)
The cupcake is actually a part of a piece of DP from a Dovecraft pad called Piece of Cake.
I cut Tilda out and sat her on top of the cupcake.
Tilda is coloured with my Prismacolour pencils.
The flowers are plain white foundation blooms which I have stamped with Distress Ink and then added a brad to the centre. 
I have used one of my good friend Lynne's sentiments and added some gorgeous candy striped ribbon to finish off.  The DP is matted on to Kraft card as I thought it matched the rest of the colour scheme.
Don't forget to visit the rest of my fabulous teamies blogs to see their gorgeous creations.

Hope you get time to join in with our Spots and Stripes challenge, see you there!!

They are fabulous quality and sucvh gorgeous colours.

Hello folks,
Just popped in to remind you that you have about a week left to enter the current challenge over at Totally Tilda.
This time the challenge is:
VALENTINE TILDA
(Now don't forget, that means TILDA not Valentino)
***********
And don't forget we are sponsored by:

and the prize is:

So here is my Midway creation for you:
I have used Tilda with Heart Lace and again I have gone for non-traditional valentine colours.
I have used my heart PATP as my frame and I have used a heart embossing folder on the dark grey paper underneath the image (although you can't really see much of it)
Think I went a bit OTT on the flowers here, all of which are from Wild Orchid Crafts, as is the crystal stem..
The bow is made with ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and the sentiment is stamped and then cut out with a scalloped circle punch.
I have used my prismacolour pencils to colour the image on this occasion.
So there you go peeps, your Midway Reminder for the current challenge at Totally Tilda.
Hope you get time to join in!!
