Keep Calm and paint !!!!

Hi all
.I have spent the last 7 months renovating my new home and that was the inspiration for this card i have made for my Partner ...He loved the card and did see the funny side of it.The theme the Dt had for their weekly posts over at  Craft-Dee Bowz  was to use a stencil .I just had to use the Tim Holtz alterations brick wall stencil on this card ...it was just perfect .I also used a Dr Digi image called Derek Dunderton which i coloured with promarkers and cut out .The papers are from Prima. The dies i used for the brushes are from a set of tools by Marianne D.The keep calm image was found on pinterest.
I also used the many paint chip samples i have collected to make a cute banner....The string i used was from my stash and i used my  Craft-Dee Bowz bow making tool to create the double looped bow with it..It makes perfect bows time after time in many sizes in minutes.

Craft-Dee BowZ Blog Hop

Hi
welcome to the Craft-Dee BowZ August blog hop .The theme this month for the DT is "Babies".I have created this gift set trio to give you some inspiration for your baby projects.I used papers fromTrimcraft first edition baby boy pad for all 3 project.
The candle and box are so easy and very effective,I just decorated the candle using a paper cuff that can be removed so the candle can be lit and the same image that features on all the project.the die i used to cut it out with is from SU.The box was made using a crafters companion twin cupcake box
template.
The frame was made using grey board [2mm thick]. The image and sentiment can be removed so a photo of the new baby can be inserted. I decorated it with organza ribbon and some brads and a fab chipboard embellishment that says lullaby ,which i  heat embossed with wow  true white embossing  powder to match the project.
 The card was made using the same papers,a chipboard embellishment which says new baby [also heat embossed] .The banner die is from memory box.The balloons are made using spellbinder oval dies.The frame around the image is from sweet dixie,. The image was coloured with promarkers.
The gorgeous organza pale green ribbon is from my MPP pack sent to me by Donna and i created the bows from it using my Craft-Dee BowZ BOW MAKING TOOL
 It is my go to bow maker as it is so easy to use and creates perfect bows in seconds every time.

Craft-Dee BowZ project for August's Challenge

Hi all
I is  Aug 1st so that means it is time for a new challenge to begin at Craft-Dee Bowz.. The theme as always is "Anything with a handmade bow" ...so you can let your imagination run riot with your projects.I have made this cute crossover card .I used an image i have had for ages from the digi doodle shop called sleeping imfant. I coloured her with promarkers. The butterfly die and shaped header lattice heart  die are both from tonic.The sentiment was one i found on pinterest.The flowers are from wild orchid.The flourish border die i used around the image is from spellbinders.I also used a cheery lynn flourish die around the flowers and a martha stewart punch for the borders where the card crossed over.The organza ribbon i have used is from my very generous boss Donna from Craft-Dee BowZ .I used my trusty Craft-Dee BowZ bow making tool to make the beautiful triple looped bows..It is my go to bow maker as it is so easy to use and creates perfect bows in seconds every time.
