CH#309 Fab'n'Funky

Hi everyone,

I hope your week is going well.
Awesome weather for us this week...cool nights and warm sunny days, my favourite.
 I had lunch yesterday at the Ancaster Mill celebrating a friends birthday.
Off tomorrow to meet with my DIL and granddaughter...and yes another lunch out
with some shopping I think too so it's shaping up to be a very good week.

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #309

where our lovely host is Ginny giving us the theme of "shaped card".  

I used a pre-coloured image on my card today

This Tucan is available here in The Paper Shelter shop...our sponsor for this challenge.

For the shape of my card I used a Sizzix Framelits Flipits die set.

Design paper is G45 Bohemian Bazaar
Tassel ribbon from my stash

Letters cut using QuicKutz 

Our wonderful sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter 

offering a prize of $15 to spend in the shop

I would like to enter the following challenge:

House of Cards Challenge
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #35

Thanks for stopping by today,

hugs,

4th Birthday Celebration at TPS

Good Morning fellow crafters and welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop 

This is in celebration of their reaching their 4th Birthday on December 8th.

 It will be a two week Challenge and both Design Teams are taking part.

The Hop is our way of inviting you to join in with us and this one is

 "A Special Celebration" theme, which I know is extremely popular!!!! 

If you have landed here from  Maria  then you're heading in the right direction 

 - if not then you'll want to head on back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, 

as you'll not want to miss out on this one! 

Our Design Team have worked very hard and are showcasing the gorgeous images

 available from The Paper Shelter Website. 

Each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice as well as the main prize,

 details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot.

For my card share I copic coloured the very cute Tucan that can be found here.

He has been on my to-do list for quite some time as I think he is fabulous!

DP is Graphic 45, leaves are SB Foliage, flower from my stash.

The wooden fishtail has been covered with a piece of DP, 

QuicKutz number and letter added to the top.

The turquoise paper is actually iridescent but the photo did not catch that or the

glossy accents added to the tucan's eye.  

Sentiment computer generated when the image was printed.

From here you will need to hop on over to Sam's. 
Don't forget to leave your comment for a chance of winning your choice 
of one of the fab digis available in store.  Hop! Hop! Hop!

Good luck and hope you're enjoying it so far.
