The Monthly Sponsor for October is:




Gurlee Girl Designs images Our Monthly sponsor that has donated a huge prize to our month end winner. Be sure to click on them to find out all the details of each one.

THE WEEKLY BONUS SPONSOR THIS WEEK IS.....  
 


 This week are sponsor is Sue McMahon from “McMahon Five Designs” She is also on our very own design team. Sue has been making cards for 11 years. Her love for the craft has fueled the opening of her online store, McMahon Five Designs. Her store offers real wood paper, downloadable digital images, and a large variety ofproducts from Prima and Ranger. 

For my card I have used the Gurlee Girl image called 'Avie' - she is just so sweet with that lovely ice-cream....the cherry on top started me off choosing papers and embellishments.  I embossed the DP through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder - I love the effect of embossing on DP, it adds so much texture!
 


That YUMBLY DP is from a RAK from one of my Twisted Sisters, Pat Smethers, how could I go past it with this image.  I layered it on black CS for the corners and then added some crochet lace...another favourite of mine - no doily is safe at our house! LOL!  The ovals were cut with the Nestibilities Oval, I went for a smaller size so it would not overshadow the image!  Both of these ovals have been embossed as well!

The image has been chalked  and popped up with dimensionals!


I made a stick pin from a RAK sent to me by my friend Sabrina (aka okimom2girlz) - I love these pins and save them for special occassions.  I used a lovely deep red hydranga flower, layered with a tiny crocheted one and added a gold centre.  I also used these flower centres on the edge of the oval.  I have finished off with Dimensional Magic being added to the cherry to make it stand out!



Well, that it it from me, thank you for coming over and for your encouraging comments!  I love it when you come and would HATE to miss you!!   I appreciate your support - you have made blogging such a fun place to be!!  Thank you!!  Now don't forget to check out the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - these sketches are so much fun.  A number of people have commented that they find them hard - let me assure you that once you get going they come together - give it a try, you will feel so pleased with yourself when you have finished it - you might even enjoy yourself!  I will look out for you!  LOL!  God bless you!
