Elphine House Australia Challenge - Fall/Autumn Colours!

Hi, I hope you are all having a good week. I have been shocked by the pictures that are coming in. The pictures from New York, New Jersey and the other area along the East Coast are just awful. I do hope you are all safe and well.

Anyway i am here with the new challenge details for Elphine House Australia.

This time the we are having a colour challenge ....

FALL/AUTUMN COLOURS

To join in the challenge you have to use a Elisabeth Bell stamp from any company. There are lots of Elisabeth Bell images out there so let us see your creations!

Here is my DT card....

Although the colour theme is Fall/Autumn i decided to use one of the newest EHA stamps that has been released. Some of you who are Elisabeth Bell fans will recognise this cutie as she was released a long time ago and its great to see her get a new lease of life!

She is called Ebony Christmas Eve!

the papers i used are First Edition Isabella along with Kraft cardstock.

Die used is Tim Holtz Vintage Lace.

Pink and Girly!

Hi, Well i am so glad to be here with a card...its been over a week since my last posting and since then i have had a bit of a rotten week. I seem to get 2 steps forward with my health and 1 back. As well as the Auto immune blood issue my Kidney disease has been playing up then just to put the cherry on the cake my laptop crashed and is totally gone..died! I hadnt backed up the laptop in past 10 months so all my Digi stamps, photos, Sponsor badges for the CCC blog, My Memories files and all my blog designs...the list goes on and they are all gone! I could cry everytime i think about it. We have a friend who is amazing with computers but he has been working hard this week so will catch him next week and see if he can save anything at all from it. If any of you have any ideas how to retrieve any of it please let me know!!!

Anyway here i am on one of our netbooks. Its strange because its so small but works all the same.

I decided to have a break from Christmas cards and make a pink girly card. 

I keep leaving my poor Cricut Expression out of the action and i do have some good cartridges so i dusted of the cobwebs and got cuttting. The decorative frame in my card is from the Potpourri cartridge which i quite like.

Its Raining Leaves...all over my garden!

Hi, Hope you are having a good week so far. The kids are off school this week....again! They have a holiday just about every month, it seems like a lot more this year but i must admit i enjoy not having the morning rush and early get ups!

Today i was standing watching out the window and the leaves are now falling from the really massive oversized, overgrown, out of control  tree that is in our neighbours garden. It reaches and falls over the side of our house and garden..meaning we have all his leaves to pick up and his garden is leaf free!! It Does get frustrating, there were are out filling bag after bag of leaves and he is standing there with not a care. The tree really needs seen by a professional to cut it back or even better down altogether. Anyway enough moaning a about a tree!!! 

I was looking through my digi stamps and decided to use this Elisabeth Bell digital stamp. Its just like us trying to catch the falling leaves from the tree. I also thought the tree charm just fitted in with this card so well.

She is called "Li'l Janiels Harvest"

Hi i hope you are all having a great weekend. I had real major problems with Blogger yesterday. Wouldn't let me centre my post, wouldn't save anything and was adding huge gaps in the post too. Very strange!

Anyway its a new month which means a new Crafty Calendar Challenge! This month the theme is

"All Things Spooky"

There is also a optional extra of Recycling.

I am offering a Guest Designer spot to the winner this month as our sponsor, the Digi Doodle Shop has closed its doors which is such a shame.

This my card i made for this challenge...

The image i have used is a Elisabeth Bell Digital Image which you can see HERE. She is called Pumpkin Fairy Ellora!

There are so many cute digi's on her site and i think i might now have all but 2 or 3 of them. As you know from looking through my blog, i am a huge fan of Elisabeth Bells images. Just my kind of image, cute, girly and just adorable! She really is the cutest pumpkin on the patch!
